The third tale returns to the diner, as two over-the-hill rock bands pull up for a quick bite. Leads Alain Bashung and Arno (playing themselves) discuss their former friendship and current status, Bashung trying not to gloat [over] his continued popularity while Arno exaggerates a waning career.



Final segment is pure nostalgia, as four ex-gangsters "rescue" former colleague-in-crime Pierrot (Roger Dumas) from a hospital and head off to their old hideout, only to discover that the secluded log cabin surrounded by forests has been torn down and replaced by the very exposed diner. With vet thesps including Jean Rochefort, Laurent Terzieff and Venantino Venantini as the old thieves, auds can relax into their amiable camaraderie, comfortable in watching masters enjoying each others' company.
