FunTranscript
00:00Franklin knew how to count two by two and tie his shoes.
00:04He liked to play football and chess.
00:09But one day, Franklin had too much trouble to have fun with his games.
00:15Mr. Hibou?
00:17Yes, I'm listening to you, Basil.
00:18How many boxes can the horse move?
00:21The horse is called the rider and we can move it in three boxes in the shape of an L, my little one.
00:26Ah, there are a lot of different movements to memorize.
00:29That's for sure. And also a lot of different names to remember.
00:33I always mix up the courts and the bridges.
00:36I guess you mean the towers and the pawns, Beatrice.
00:40Oh, yes. Yes, that's what I mean.
00:43I think this game is a little difficult too.
00:46I find it fun, chess. I pretend I'm the coach and the pawns the team.
00:51Come on, pawns, let's work together, let's work together.
00:54The madman, go over there and block the arena.
00:56Come on, come on, come on, let's hurry up.
00:59Excuse me, but I'd like to be able to concentrate, please.
01:03Oh, I'm sorry, Lily.
01:13No.
01:15Mr. Hibou, I can't move anywhere.
01:18Franklin has the opportunity to capture my king, whatever I do.
01:21You know what that means.
01:23chess and math.
01:25chess and math.
01:27Well done, Franklin.
01:29Yes, well done, my little one.
01:31You beat all the kids in the class, Franklin.
01:34Yes, who are you going to be able to play against now?
01:37I know.
01:39Who?
01:40Well, against the chess champion of the school of Ruisson des Seines.
01:44Really?
01:46Yes, precisely here and tomorrow.
01:48Oh, great.
01:50Great, Franklin.
01:53I'm dying of impatience for tomorrow's chess game.
01:57You might want to train.
01:59That's right, the champion of Ruisson des Seines is probably very strong.
02:03Huh?
02:04Franklin doesn't need to worry because he's really, really, really strong.
02:08And tomorrow he's going to beat the champion of Ruisson des Seines without a problem.
02:12And show everyone that our school is the best.
02:14And that our village is the best.
02:16Exactly.
02:18Franklin will show them.
02:23The next day
02:29Excuse me.
02:32I know how to pass the hockey.
02:34I have to scare you.
02:39Hold your breath.
02:47Hey, it works.
02:49Thank you, Arnaud.
02:50Oh, you're welcome.
02:52Goodbye.
02:53Goodbye.
02:54See you tomorrow.
02:55Goodbye.
02:56Do you want to come to my house to help me train, Martin?
02:59Yes, okay.
03:12Oh-oh, your hockey is back.
03:14Yes, I thought I was getting rid of it.
03:18I have an idea.
03:20We're going to run home to make a peanut butter sandwich.
03:23Does it cure the hockey?
03:25I don't know about that, but I'm so hungry. Come on.
03:29Wait for me, Martin.
03:38Why don't you drink a glass of water or something?
03:41I've already done it.
03:42Twice.
03:44Hey, Martin, you're not better at playing than that, honestly.
03:48Well, you know, it's not very easy to concentrate with your hockey.
03:52And here's another pawn.
03:55You have to try to embarrass me, to trap me, Martin.
03:58What do you think? I really do everything I can.
04:01I mean, you try to play as if you were the strongest in the other school.
04:06And then I could train.
04:08But I'm not the best player in the other school.
04:10Listen, Franklin, we used to have fun playing chess.
04:13I'm going home.
04:15And wait, Martin.
04:17If you want, I'll give you my knights and my daffodils.
04:20No, thank you.
04:22And yes, if we made an iron arm, it would be fun, wouldn't it?
04:26Martin? Martin?
04:29Oh, well, there's at least one good thing. The hockey is gone.
04:34Oh, no.
04:37Oh, I can't believe I didn't see that.
04:40It's not possible, what I thought.
04:42Don't be so hard on yourself, my little Franklin.
04:45You played extremely well.
04:47If I played so well, Grandma, I would have seen that my towers were beautiful and well stuck.
04:53The meeting is for tomorrow.
04:55And I don't have enough time to train.
04:57I'll never get out of it.
04:59Come on, come on, everything will be fine.
05:01You'll see, my dear, I'm sure.
05:03Come on, come on, everything will be fine.
05:05You'll see, my dear, I'm sure.
05:07Do you want to take a little break?
05:09Eat something?
05:13A big glass of ice milk should help you get through this horrible hockey.
05:16Do you really think so?
05:19Hey, my hockey is gone, Grandma.
05:24It's amazing how he starts and stops like that all of a sudden.
05:28Yes, it's weird.
05:34Huh?
05:36Huh?
05:37Oh, oh.
05:38Hmm, very, very interesting.
05:40Huh?
05:41What are you talking about?
05:44Is this bad hockey gone again?
05:48Uh, I think so, Grandma.
05:53Huh?
05:54Huh?
05:55It's really weird.
05:57It looks like every time you see black and white tiles,
06:00your hockey gets more beautiful.
06:02You think so? Why?
06:04Because it reminds you of the chess game you're going to play tomorrow.
06:07You're so anxious about the idea of this meeting
06:10that it gives you the hockey.
06:12Well, you know, Grandma, there's one thing that's for sure.
06:14It's that I don't play chess anymore like I used to.
06:17Be careful, and don't forget that chess is just a game, my dear.
06:21The game must provide pleasure.
06:23But this game is very important.
06:25And if I don't win, I'm going to disappoint the whole class.
06:28Oh, my treasure, you won't disappoint anyone, believe me.
06:31They're your friends, Franklin.
06:33They love you, and they'll love you whether you win or lose.
06:49Which box should I go to now?
06:51I don't know.
06:53If I go there, will a horseman catch me?
06:55I'm not sure.
06:57Tell us what to do.
06:59The whole village is counting on you.
07:01Yes, the whole village is counting on you.
07:14I shouldn't have gotten angry yesterday. I'm sorry.
07:17There's no problem, Martin. It's my fault.
07:19I didn't behave very well either.
07:21Are you nervous because of the game?
07:23Yes, a little bit.
07:25Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
07:27Thank you, Martin.
07:30Hello, Franklin.
07:31Hello, Franklin.
07:32Your opponent hasn't arrived yet.
07:34I wonder how he's going to be.
07:36Why him? It might be a smart girl.
07:39Well, whoever it is, you're going to show him who's the boss.
07:42Yes, Franklin will win for sure.
07:45Are you ready, Franklin?
07:47Yes, I guess so.
07:49Look, Franklin.
07:51Ta-da!
07:53It's beautiful.
07:55Good job, boys.
07:57Yes, thank you very much, friends.
08:03Here he goes again.
08:04Why don't you go get a glass of ice water?
08:07Our visitors will be here any minute.
08:16Welcome, welcome.
08:18Come in, my friends.
08:23Here they are.
08:29Are you okay?
08:31I have a stomach ache.
08:33Did you eat something you shouldn't?
08:35No, no.
08:37I've had a stomach ache since my teacher told me I was going to play against the champion of this school.
08:42Really?
08:43Yes.
08:44And all my friends are waiting for me to win.
08:47What if I don't win?
08:49Besides, I just learned that my opponent is the best in the world.
08:52The best in the world?
08:54Who told you that?
08:56Students who are part of this school.
08:58Oh, those.
09:00But I'm not the best in the world.
09:02Oh, it's you, Franklin.
09:05Yes, and I'm not like you think.
09:07I just like to play chess.
09:09Well, I used to like it for sure before I started to worry about this meeting.
09:13Me too, before I liked to play chess.
09:15But now it gives me too much cramp in the stomach.
09:17I can't stop having hockey, it's painful.
09:19Hockey, really?
09:22Every time I see radical squares, I play hockey.
09:26Yes, I made my best friend completely crazy.
09:29It's funny.
09:31I think this championship made us both nervous.
09:34You know, we're going to try to forget everyone.
09:36And we're going to play to have fun.
09:38Yes, I agree with you.
09:40I like this idea.
09:41How's your stomach?
09:44Very good now.
09:46Excuse me, as soon as you want, we'll start.
09:49Thank you, Mr. Wolf.
09:51I'm ready to play.
09:52And you, Franklin?
09:57I'm not playing hockey anymore.
10:00I think I'm ready to play.
10:02So let's go, we're going to have fun.
