nothing
Hi there!
I'm french, so trust me in my translation. "Je vous tout" means "I you everything". Got it? Me neither. So either you heard or read it wrong, or someone is pulling your leg. Could it be Je veux tout? I want everything Where did you see/hear that? See ya Iwik |

It was written on Cassidy's airplane in Flyboys, above the eagle:
 See the ultra tiny red writing above the circle with the eagle? That's it. I thought it was "Je vous tout". I thought it might be idiomatic. But "I want everything" would fit with the character! I was actually able to understand a little of the French dialogue. At least I could get the message. "L'enfants", "oncle", "la guerre", "par Avion" and a few others. So with hand gestures and an occasional word or two, I might actually have been able to make do in Rawling's situation in the movie. We Americans... we really should learn a second language along with our own from the get-go. |

A second one ?
 Lucky you ain't a Belgian.  Dutch, French, German, English was the normal program when I was young. Meanwhile one can also add Spanish to the lessons. For me it's just the first four, but I also speak some Italian and Hungarian, and understand some Spanish.

My daughter, who is taking French, translated it at the theater as "I see everything."

The emblems were vinyl stick-ons, so that the art department could change them at will, which allowed some of us to collect the ones that were peeled off and couldn't be used again. They'll make great shop wall decorations-
