| “I'm French!” and “Mind your own business!” | 2 | |
| The threat: “If you will not…, we shall…” | 2 | |

| Our English and our acting | ||
| Pronunciation and intonation | 4 | |
| Acting: the accents, the voices, the gestures | 4 | |

| Mark out of 20 | 20 | |
Before filming: the most important points are your own insults — silly, creative, never vulgar — and your acting. Arthur stays solemn and polite; the soldier is very proud of his outrageous accent. Learn your lines: no reading!
