J'pas, m'sieur le gendarme. Il a tombé au dessus l'escalier...il doit être presque à Grenoble par la.Geez, I dunno, Officer, he fell up here at the top of the stairs...must be almost to Grenoble by now.
Je m'emmerde! Je suis foutu par la grille d'égout!I soil myself! I am f---ed by the sewer grate!
