I'm currently writing a sit com and I wish for your help!
I've decided to set my sitcom during the construction of the channnel tunnel. It's set in 1993 just as construction on the tunnel is in full flow and it follows both the french side and the english side, so it's quite an ambitious script! I've written about 50% in english and 50% in french, so if there are any french languagists out there I would be very grateful for any input!
I know its a bit of a risk but please be patient and offer any advice you can.
INT- DAY- CHANNEL TUNNEL
Gareth:
Come on guys! just another 10 miles to go and we're in the middle!
James:
Whats the point! you know them frenchies will make it there first!
Gareth:
Why do you say that?
James:
Well you know what them frenchies are like, they'll probably lay out loads of frog legs so we trip over them and don't make it to the middle in time!
Gareth:
Good point, but you can't be like that, them frenchies aren't all bad.
James:
What makes you say that?
Gareth:
I knew a frenchie a once, she was alright. Yeah so she was bit overweight but other than that she was really nice, and also very very funny!
James:
are you just talking about Dawn French again?
Gareth:
(reluctant) yes, so what if I am. She's so funny and the gag with her in a big bra never get's old.
James:
Here we go again!
Pierre :
Ces idiots anglais n'ont aucune idée quel; traçage re !
Jean :
Que sommes-nous traçant encore ?
Pierre :
Vous savez, le tout laisse obtenir au milieu avant qu'ils fassent la chose.
Jean :
Oh ouais, et pourquoi faisons-nous cela ?
Pierre :
(Parler comme si le beurre fonte de faux) De sorte que nous obtenions d'appeler le tunnel après une personne française! remenber vous débile! nous pouvons l'appeler le tunnel de Didier Dechamps. Voyez comment les anglais aiment cela.
Jean:
I longtemps pour le jour où des personnes françaises ne sont plus mentionnées dans la même phrase que Dawn French! Je souhaite que son et son mari se casse!.
Pierre:
(petit et même)Oui, je souhaite que Dawn French juste meure et nous ait laissés poursuivre avec nos vies.
Jean:
la danse des juste et espèrent que le tunnel sous la Manche se construit !
