Overview

Jockey Jack has a bill open with a gangster just released from jail. He somehow manages to parry the gangster's knife attack backstage at a theatre and the latter ends up dead being put into a double bass case.

00:00:43 SALAD BY THE ROOTS

00:05:26 ...you'll find someone you like.

00:08:46 Pommes-Chips could at least have said hello.

00:11:52 And the uniform? -Where is he?

00:15:17 Oh countess, I hear a troika.

00:21:13 The French aggressor kills everybody.

00:24:43 Powerful, that's the word. And I'd almost say that you...

00:28:52 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called sons of God.

00:32:22 Excuse me, I'll be back.

00:37:50 You're so sensitive. I have that effect on women...

00:41:55 What then? I need my case.

00:45:48 That's why I want you to go, to disappear.

00:49:07 And there's my little Jo. My little favourite.

00:52:06 And you were. We grew up together.

00:55:07 We practiced all night, but there's something in the allegretto...

00:58:56 Don't get a cold.

01:02:27 The result is being announced. An easy win for number 7.

01:05:40 No, wait till the cows come home. -Very funny.

01:08:36 I've got the number.

01:11:39 A music lesson at 11 in the evening? Sorry, but...

01:15:31 Your left hand here.

01:20:01 Pommes-Chips must still be at Jérôme's place.

01:26:00 Where are the betting receipts? You know what I mean.

01:29:59 Goodbye and until next Monday.
