The Strength of Things
You scared me so much ! - You're geeting weak, Ulrik
If it's so easy to surprise you, I'm afraid you won't live long.
That's because I'm in love.
Again ? Last time, you were already in love. And also the time before.
And even when we were searching for Branco on the Mount Liquorice, you were talking about it.
I've been in love for four months.
Fifteen days is okay. Two months maybe... But, four months, you're crazy !
Especially with a married man...
What's the matter about it ?
I remember when I was with Lupiana Rebok. Okay, she wasn't married...
...but her stories of "unsecured lending" were starting to bore me deeply.
One day with him, the other day with me. I swear I was in love with her.
But after a month I was fed up, I said stop.
It wasn't really love.
Are you kidding me ? I offered her bunches of flowers !
Can you imagine me offering flowers ? Don't you think this is love ?
Do you even offer flowers to your man ?
I'm forced to offer him small things.
Does he offer flowers to you ?
Yes, he does.
What a story.
But tell me, what brings you up here ? I guess you're searching for Manjas K¨¦bir.
"Searching" is a big word for saying that.
It tastes so good. - I bought it from a farmer, on the road of Dominouaye.
150 ottoman krobans.
You should buy some for me.
Freeze !
What an idiot you are, Montogono ! - Is that how you're searching for Monjas K¨¦bir ?
Drink some of this plum-that-pricks. - Sorry I stopped.
Haven't you spotted him ? - We wouldn't tell you ! - Stop dreaming !
So you haven't found him, but let me tell you this : Morokolomon is really mad.
Yesterday evening I was drinking with Peops and Bruite Limpide --- - What are they doing ?
... they are searching for the Cathalie Queen's diamonds.
They needed some informations.
So as we were drinking, I saw Morokolomon entering The Ritornello. Can you imagine him in this pub ?
He starts talking to me in front of everyone.
Saying that I should release his daughter since I'm a Warrior, and that a Warrior has to defend the people.
I tell him : "first, you're not the people...
... since the people doesn't offer 50 000 krobans to who will rescue his daughter"
"Second, the people doesn't find his daughter getting kidnapped"
"I agree to rescue your daughter : she's pretty and the job is well paid."
"But don't think I'll stop my life for this !"
And you know what he says ?
"I can call the Antipode Warriors and the case will be fastly resolved".
Antipode Warriors, what else ?! - It depends about how he wants to recover his daughter.
I told him about the story of the Prince Hubert's twins and what happened with the Antipode Warriors.
Since this day, nobody in West Ouranie calls them.
Although last year, after the robbery, Mrs Ittix called Urbanos.
You know that Mrs Ittix is crazy...
She used to call me when her husband escaped with Marina the Third.
She kept yelling "Kill them, kill them both !"
I told her it won't bring back her husband and she said "Yes, but you neither"
Seems like we are only good for fighting. Nobody will ever trust us to solve the problems in a different way.
Maybe you'd like to negociate with Manjas K¨¦bir ? - Why not ? He doesn't have much fun than us !
If I had 100 000 krobans I could say "Let's do 50/50 and you set the girl free"
He asks for 200 000 krobans. If he wanted 50 000, he would have asked for 50 000 !
Not if it allows him to skip a battle ! - I go for a walk. See you.
I guess you stay here watching ?
Do you really intend to rescue the girl by standing there ? - It won't be the first time I do that.
You should know that Manjas K¨¦bir is not Gaston Light or Morning Sapphire.
It doesn't matter. You just have to be there at the right moment.
Finally, searching or waiting is the same.
What if he never comes by here ? - You have to know where to wait. This is a special technique only a few has !
You aren't gonna tell me that you have a secret ?
I think about it, then I believe it. Yes, I believe in it...
If you say so... believe...
What are you doing ? - I don't want to stay alone.
Let's seat. - Shouldn't we walk a little ? - No, I would rather not.
I don't want to hear anymore about married women.
There is always that moment when we say to eachother :
"We're so in love but nothing is possible between us, we have to split"
I can't bear it anymore.
You never know what could happen. - I will not take that risk again !
I saw what happened with Camille The Clock, Ostria, with Rosy Fingers...
She should have joined me in the morning with her luggages. I'm still waiting.
Well, I'm not waiting anymore but you can imagine how I felt.
If nothing would have been possible, then you wouldn't have loved her ?
It would have been different. - So you wouldn't have loved her...
Find another man Ulrik, a single man !
I can't fall in love everyday ! I won't stop loving someone and start loving another man since he is single.
For us, Warriors, it is very difficult to be in love.
Always running after bandits. We can't have our moods or we won't earn our life
Right now, do you really want to rescue Morokolomon's daughter ?
Let me tell you Yellow Saffron, if one day I find someone to leave with, I quit this job.
I tell you better : I won't even wait for this person.
You seem really fierce Montogono. But even all the fierceness of the world would not lead you to victory !
Your arrogance will one day lose you Manjas K¨¦bir !
I'm the master of the build-yourself-sword and I'm going to prove it to you !
You didn't have the right ! Pink paint is forbidden !
Did you know that with 200 000 krobans you could buy a farm in South Obitannie ?
It's sunny ten months a year.
Maybe I'd like to become a farmer in Obitannie.
Lately, as I was crossing the High Rouergue,
I met Carlos Lagache.
Today, he raises Ounayes and finally doesn't think this is that interesting...
Apart from milking them and gaining some cheese you can't do anything with ounayes.
What about Rabadons ? - Sell them. Or leave them grazing peacefully in the meadow.
I heard that Madontes eat Rabadons...
Aren't you crazy ? You could have hurt me !
Especially since I have a scoliosis !
I once deliver her. It's always the same story with her.
Yes but you scared me with your blade and nearly cut my face !
You should be careful since if I'm not unharmed, my father will never pay !
He didn't say "unharmed" he said "alive" !
And don't blame us, your father wanted to send Antipode Warriors.
How are we going to work it out ?
He was mine. Thanks me he came across your rock !
Manjas K¨¦bir isn't stupid. Even in panic he didn't go in a random direction.
Maybe he would have come this way, but with suspicion, and your work would have been much more difficult !
What about me ? What am I suppose to do now ? I'm so cold, tired, totally bruised !
Share we ?
Wait ! We talked a lot about this : we don't split up the bounties. Or then we work together.
But in this case I did all the work ! - What about the Sastano Chouvira case ?
Who did all the work this last time ? Did we split the krobans ? We didn't even talk about it !
What if we go eating ?
We'll talk while eating.
Are you really going to leave him there ?
Don't worry for him, he'll free himself, he's used to it.
Bring him to the police station, or he will continue kidnapping young girls !
Pretty girl, Manjas K¨¦bir did nothing to us !
It's horrible to say such things, he already killed young girls and even children !
This is just the bourgeois informations !
Where the hell are you going ? - I'm going back home !
I think I'm going to search for the Cathalie Queen's diamonds.
If Ciceletron is the robber, this should be resolved quickly !
This job is poorly paid ! - 20 000 krobans.
The Cathalie Queen pays only when she wants...
She says "Take 10 000 krobans, I'll give the others later"
Then you can wait ! It's always like this with her.
Anyway, all of this will end in the Blue Marsh and I don't go there. Because of the snakes.
You just have to take some orange powder. - The orange powder does nothing to them anymore !
Not if you take some good powder. - Too expensive for me.
What about you Ulrik ?
Since I'm in love, new horizons open up for me. Then, I wonder if I have not better to do that running after bandits.
I don't feel I'm useful. On the other hand I need money.
About the Cathalie Queen, 20 000 krobans for diamonds, I think she's exagerating a bit.
Ulrik, are you still in love with the same guy ? - Yes
Then you should find another job.
[the song is about a Warrior hardly earning his life by chasing bandits]
This movie was shot in the Nore forest, on the Black Mountain.
Dedicated to all the damned of the earth...
