From one of my favorite movies of all time:
and the Dailymotion version (lower quality, unfortunately, for those of you who can’t view the YouTube version):
“La chance, c’est comme le Tour de France. On l’attend longtemps et ça passe vite. Quand le moment vient, faut sauter la barrière sans hésiter.”
•
“Luck is like the Tour de France. You wait for it for a long time, and it passes quickly. When the moment comes, you have to jump the barricade without hesitation.”
— M. Dufayel

I love Amelie! It is one of my favorites, also. Unfortunately, the clip is blocked in the US, but I’ve seen it already, many times. 🙂
Oh no! I must find a version that works in the US! Maybe there’s one on Dailymotion?
Does this work for you in the US? : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2acy9_le-fabuleux-destin-d-amelie-poulain_shortfilms
Oui! Brilliant.
