- ANNOUNCER:
- The Meaning of Life: Part Six B: The Meaning of Life.
- MAÎTRE D:
- M-hm-hmm. You know, Maria, I sometimes wonder if we'll ever discover the meaning of it all working in a place like this.
- MARIA:
- Oh, I've worked in worse places, philosophically speaking.
- MAÎTRE D:
- Really, Maria?
- MARIA:
- Yes. I used to work in the Académie Française, but it didn't do me any
good at all,
- A-- and I once worked in the library in the Prado in Madrid, but it didn't teach me nothing, I recall,
- And the Library of Congress you'd have thought would hold some key,
- But it didn't, and neither did the Bodleian Library.
- In the British Museum I hoped to find some clue.
- I worked there from nine till six, read every volume through,
- But it didn't teach me nothing about life's mystery.
- I just kept getting older, and it got more difficult to see,
- Till, eventually, me eyes went and me arthritis got bad,
- And so now I'm cleaning up in here, but I can't be really sad,
- 'Cause, you see, I feel that life's a game. You sometimes win or lose,
- And though I may be down right now, at least I don't work for Jews.
- A-- and I once worked in the library in the Prado in Madrid, but it didn't teach me nothing, I recall,
- MAÎTRE D:
- [choking]
- [clunk]
- I'm so sorry. I-- I had no idea we had a-- a racist working here. I-- I-- I-- I apologise most sincerely.
- I mean, well, w-- W-- where are you going? Know what? I can explain, uh,-- Ehh, quel dommage.
- [clunk]
- GASTON:
- As for me, huh, if you want to know what I think, [sniff] I'll show you something. Come with me.
- MAÎTRE D:
- Ah! I was saying that-- Uh, allo?
- GASTON:
- Come on.
- MAÎTRE D:
- Ah, allo? Allo?
- GASTON:
- This way. Come on. Don't be shy. Mind the stairs, all right? I think this
will help explain. Come along. Come along. Over here.
- Come on. Come on.
- [screeeech]
- [beeeeeep]
- This way.
- [beeeep]
- [honk]
- [screeech]
- Come on. This way. Stay by me, uh?
- [music]
- Nearly there, now. You see that? That's where I was born.
- You know, one day, my-- my mother, she put me on her knee and she said to me, 'Gaston, my son, the world is a beautiful place. You must go into it and... love everyone, try to make everyone happy, and bring peace and contentment everywhere you go,' and so, I became a waiter. Well, it's-- it's not much of a philosophy, I know,... but, well,... fuck you. I can live my own life in my own way if I want to. Fuck off.
- VOICE:
- [cough cough]
- GASTON:
- Don't come following me!
