Santa Claus is in the trash this December 25 evening on France 2! A chance to discover the origin of the famous line “That’s it, yeah” uttered several times throughout the film by the character played by Thierry Lhermitte.
A guest on France 5’s C à vous program, Patrice Leconte, who made three Les Bronzés films with the entire cast and who knows the team well, returned with a somewhat crazy story along these lines:
30 seconds to play? Do you understand if these dialogues are coming from a tanner or is Santa Claus rubbish?
“Splendid, there were six of them, six more. (…) and then it started to work a little for them. They all had one agent, Georges Lambert. (…) and they said to themselves: “It would be good to tell Georges Lambert, That we leave him because he doesn’t do anything for us, or even enough.”
“They throw and it falls (…) Thierry Lhermite”continues Leconte. “So they have a meeting and Georges Lambert is a bit of a weird guy. He was smoking a cigarette with a cigarette holder. That doesn’t happen anymore. (…)”
– Hey, George, he’s helping us a little, I’m not sure…, in short, he wets his feet a little and finally says: – Well, we’re going. Leave the agency. There was a huge silence on the radio, and Georges Lambert, after a while, simply said and drew on his cigarette holder: “That’s it, yes!”
And since then, the line has remained, reused by Thierry Lhermite in Le Père Noël, almost as punctuation for the character of Pierre Mortes. Slightly coiffed, with nicely brushed and ultimately rather wicked hair, Mortes attacks his colleague Teresa, who he says “doesn’t have a simple physique”, but for whom he has feelings that are especially expressed… through painting!
