Ah, what joy! This is wonderful!
I am going to drink my tea and start my new book.
The day is over at last!
Yes, in the evening, it's quiet. It's very important for everyone.
Alex, Amélie, have you finished your homework?
Yes, Dad. I'm working on it.
I am tired and need a lot of calm to concentrate.
I'm reviewing history. I have an important test tomorrow.
Please, no noise, just five minutes.
No, it's not possible! What on earth is that terrible noise?
It's horrible!
It is a real nuisance for everyone.
Nothing can be heard. It's as if the sound is piercing our head.
Oh my goodness! My tea spilled onto my book.
They're everywhere! I'm really angry!
That's enough! This noise is unbearable!
I'm going to knock on his door immediately. It's urgent!
Yes, go ahead, Dad. Tell him it's torture.
Ah, hello! Are you my neighbor? My name is Gérard. Nice to meet you.
Hello Gérard. My name is Christophe Dubois.
Listen, I'm really sorry to bother you at this hour.
No problem. Did you like my solo? It was my new track.
Uh, no. To be honest, it's not pleasant for us.
Your music is extremely loud.
Loud? Really? I don't understand. I thought I was playing softly.
I am passionate about music and practice every day.
Please, listen to me. It's impossible to live like this.
My children cannot review, and my wife cannot rest.
It's a major problem for us.
Oh my goodness! Really? You're serious?
I didn't mean to cause you any harm. I'm truly sorry.
Yes, I'm serious. Every evening, it's the same thing.
The noise is pounding my head. Could you please stop playing after 6 p.m.?
8 p.m.? That's difficult. I get home very late from work.
I'll try to be a bit more discreet. I promise to be careful.
Being careful is not enough. You'd better stop.
Make an effort, Gérard. Good evening.
Alright. I'll do my best. Good evening, Christophe.
That's not true. I can't do it anymore.
I cannot perform my subtraction.
Me too, it's horrible. I'm reading my history book, but I can't understand anything because of that terrible sound.
Oh no, not yet. I'm going to get a bad grade tomorrow because of this.
It's the neighbor, Gérard. He said he'd be careful, but he's lying; he doesn't respect anyone.
Maybe Dad should go there one more time? He's more persuasive.
No, Amélie, there's no need. Dad already went there yesterday.
Gérard said, "I'll do my best." And look, he's still going. Talking is useless.
What can we do then? We're children, we have no power at all.
Do we have to endure this noise? It's unfair.
No. Gérard deserves a lesson. He needs to understand what it feels like.
A lesson? What are you going to do, Alex? Are you going to yell at him?
I have a brilliant idea. I found Dad's secret weapon in the garage.
The secret weapon? What is it? I want to know.
Shh! It's a secret. Come with me, Amélie. We're putting the plan into action.
The neighbor will be surprised.
Alright, I'm following you.
If it means stopping that dreadful saxophone, I'm with you.
The neighbor is playing his awful saxophone. Amélie, now, is the speaker properly stuck to the wall?
Yes, Alex. The speaker is ready for your ghostly voice.
Gérard, Gérard, it's me, the spirit of music.
My saxophone must stop.
Great, Alex! You're terrifying. He's going to run away.
My God! It's a ghost! That's impossible! There's a spirit that doesn't like my saxophone.
Hi, Gérard. What's wrong?
Did you hear that? It sounds like the cry of an irritated spirit.
Yes, the noise. It might be a spirit that dislikes the evening's commotion.
The noise, yes. It's loud. I'm sorry to have disturbed you. I won't play anymore in the evenings.
That's a very good idea, Gérard. Let's keep calm in the evening.
Yes, you're right. I promise to practice only in the afternoon.
Thank you for helping me understand my mistake.
No problem, neighbor. Silence is important for everyone.
