According to police records,
he is a Romanian chicken thief...
:09:05
... named Constantinescu,
but when he bought this place...
:09:08
... it was called "Chez Moustache" and
it was cheaper to grow a moustache...
:09:12
... than to buy a new sign.

Sometimes, at dawn, rich slummers
drop in for a bowl of onion soup.
:09:19
But mostly the clientele consists
of the "poules" and their "macs".
:09:24
You know what a "mac" is?
How do you say it in English?
:09:28
A protector, a consort,
a business manager?
:09:32
Well, stick around, you'll get the idea.
:09:43
- How are we doin'?
- Not bad.
:09:47
Mostly tips. I had
some real pigeons tonight.
:09:51
- Sometimes I wish you were twins.

The last one didn't have any more money,

I was gonna put it down
as a deposit, on a hair dryer.
:10:09
A hair dryer?! We're partners, Irma.
You wouldn't wanna cheat me?
:10:14
- Let go, Hippolyte.
- There's such a thing as ethics.
:10:17
You're hurting me, you big ox!
:10:19
If you don't like the way I treat you,
why don't you get yourself another guy?
:10:22
- I will one of these days.
- Why wait? Why not leave me now?
:10:27
I'd take her any time.
:10:29
Oh, you would?
:10:32
- It was just a joke, Hippolyte.
- A joke?
:10:35
So how come nobody's laughing?
:10:49
Now go back to work.
:10:52
Ox.
:10:59
And so it was one big,
happy family around here:
