My smurfy thanks to Matthew Grisham, who had put the original comics at disposal.



(Enjoying the fair weather, some Smurfs left the village for a walk in the forest...)
- I found a nice hellebore flower. What a smurf of luck! - I'm so disappointed... I thought we'd smurf wild strawberries!
- Oh, look! Sarsaparilla!
- Hmmm, it looks smurfingly fresh! - Yeah, it will smurf pretty much under our teeth!
- HALT!
- A sarsaparilla plant that smurfs at this place looks somewhat strange to me!
- Let's try with that!
- How deep! We smurfed a narrow escape! - Thanks much, Papa Smurf! Without you we'd got smurfed! - Surely is a Gargamel's trap! And this bell is smurfing nothing good at all!
-------------------- Keep on always smurfin'!!

- Ah, my trap made a sound! I didn't catch any fish, but perhaps I’ve got some Smurfs!
- A dead branch! It made the trap fail!
- One more blasted day! There's nothing to do than eating lentils in my old damp hovel... All alone! - Meeeow?
- Yes, all alone! Do you think the company of a mangy cat like you counts?
-When I think of Gandolphe... How lucky he is! (- Gandolphe! -My, my! If it’s not my colleague Gargamel!
- How are you doing, old guy? C'mon, enter for a moment, I live here...
- Meet my sweet Aldegonde. She's about to simmer a good pot-au-feu (beef stew)... Stay to have lunch with us!
- Running around the countryside is over for me. I've received at my home, I've got a good clientele, I've sold my philters and potions... That's a good life, old guy!)
- Whereas I stay in that sinister hole and spare my time pursuing Smurfs whom I never get to catch anyway!
- I should have found a companion too! She would cook some nice little dishes while I rested at the corner of the fire...

- A companion, he says? Ha ha ha, that’s a real card! - He’s stupid, gruesome and nasty! Who would smurf her life with him? - Love is said to be bewitching! Perhaps would it change Gargamel?
- You’re right, love could smurf a new man of him… Making him cheerful and kind! - Dis would be chuch a miracle!
- Well, my little Smurfs, we joked enough. Time to smurf to the village.
- It seems you’ve got something in mind, Jokey! What are you thinking about?
- I think that if Gargamel smurfed a well-beloved he would get at home peacefully and stop making our life hell! - Hmmm… That’s possible!
- But one mustn’t dream, that brute won’t find anybody at all! - Nope, unless we smurf a helping hand!
- What do you think about, Papa Smurf? Could we help Gargamel find love? - Love is already complicated for human beings…. Honestly, I don’t smurf this very much!
- It must be necessary smurfing some advice from a human! - But we don’t know any well, who could help us then?
- HOMNIBUS!
- Hey, calm down! Homnibus is a serious and respectable wizard. We mustn’t ask him for… - Awww, c’mon, Papa Smurf! 
- So you wish to find a bride for Gargamel? Here’s such an idea! - Could you smurf anything to help us?
- Yes, my crystal ball. We can make appear all the lonely hearts in the region! - Is that possible? The things that have been invented!
- Lonely hearts! Really smurfy! Does it work well? - Er… I think so. And I had… Hmm… just taken a glance!
- Here we are, it’s lighting up. We shall proceed by circles, around Gargamel’s cottage…
- The one that lives nearest is Trudelise, the daughter of Norbert the butcher. A solid young woman! - Whoa, really!
- A force of nature! She even won a log throwing contest!
- Er… Honestly, I don’t think she’s got the right profile. - Nope! By her side, Gargamel is no smurfmatch!
- Then, here’s the lovely Floralie, the miller’s daughter! - She’s truly charming!
- Besides, she sings like an angel and plays the harp ravishingly!
- This shall never smurf, she’s too good for him! - That’s Gargamel we need to present… GAR-GA-MEL!
-------------------- Keep on always smurfin'!!

-The Smurfs! What a great surprise! - Good morning, Olivier!
- And now, here’s Margot. She’s a very simple and honest girl who lives alone and cultivates aromatic plants she usually sells in the market. - Yes? Let’s take a closer look.
- She looks pretty nice! - Yes, and she could smurf the bill.
- Let’s see… She goes to the market in order to smurf her plants. - And surely Gargamel goes there too! - So it’s there where the meeting should happen!
- Master Homnibus, what must be smurfed for a man and a woman to talk to each other?
- Very well… Putting them in a face-to-face meeting. During a meal, for example.
- Excuse me… I see Gargamel every week at the market. He’s a typical miser!
- So if you want him to go to the inn, it will be necessary to pay him the meal. - Oh, but we Smurfs have no money!
- Well, I once treated the inkeeper’s liver problems. He can’t deny me anything… At least not free meals!
- Whoopee!! Thanks, Master Homnibus! - Our plan is smurfing marvelously! - I really wonder where it will take us… - Personally I find the idea quite amusing! Teeheehee!

(And soon the whole village discuss about the strange project.) -Smurfing that poor girl in Gargamel’s arms! Ain’t that a shame? -That’s true! He’s such a dreadful wizard! - Yes, but it’s possible that he’ll change… and become smurf like a little lamb! - Well, if not, she’ll simply tell him to smurf an egg, that’s all. - I HATE eggs!
(Thus, the operation begins the next day.) - So you intend to go to the town? You know pretty well that’s smurfily dangerous!
- Rest assured, Papa Smurf, no one shall see us. - We’ll stay safe and smurfsound inside Olivier’s basket!
(On market day, the town looks very lively.)
- So is it understood? May I count on you?
- No problem! I owe a debt of gratitude to Homnibus. I’ll be happy to provide him with this little service! - Thank you!

- Well smurfdone! - And now you need to talk to Margot.
- She always settles there, near the herbalist’s.
- Miss Margot, congrats! - Yes? And why?
- You won a gourmet meal at the Fat Piglet Inn! - Did I? But I didn’t play any game at all!
- It's a draw organized by… er… the butchers and pork butchers' guild!
- You just need to introduce yourself at noon, at the end of the market. - I’ll be there! For once in my life I am lucky…
- All is smurfing quite right! Now we can but find Gargamel.
- He always comes at the end of the market to buy cheap products.
-Ah, here he is! - What?? Two sous* for these meager carrots? That’s an abuse! Extorsion! - It ‘s draught season. The harvest has been terrible. (* a type of currency from that era)
- All of you are thieves! Swindlers!

-98… 99… Huh… 99,5…
-100! Bravo! You won! -Hein? What?
-You’re the 100th to pass in front of the inn. You win a voucher for a free meal!
-Free? Hmmm, you mean... Is there no scam at least? -Not at all! You just need to introduce yourself at noon!
-Then I’ll come. I only hope I won’t get disappointed! -Not certainly!
-That’s it, both took the bait. Now they only need to wait until noon.
-WALNUTS, HAZELNUTS! RAISINS, PRUNES! -Oh, yes! I must buy some prune paste.
-It’s for Homnibus. He usually has it every morning!
-Prune smurf?
-Yuck! This stuff is really sticky! -Teeheehee!

(At noon, the marketplace gets empty…)
(And the inn fills up.)
-Oh, you come for the meal! Follow me!
-Your table is just at the back. The other winner is already installed. -Other winner?
-Yes, a young and nice lady. I suppose this won’t bother you! -Humpf!
-Good afternoon! Did you also win the lottery? -Yes sure, or else I wouldn’t be here!
-This is so stupid, we can’t see anything! And we don’t smurf even what they say! -Not me either, there’s too much noise here!
-Blast! We won’t know what happened! -We need to smurf by their side, but that’s impossible: we’ll be seen!
-Let’s ponder… Certainly there must be a way to spy them without seeing us!
-But that’s just it: the prune paste! What if I smurf it on my back?

-My name is Margot, and what’s yours? -Grmpf… Gargamel!
-Ah, here’s my two laureates! Everything is fine? -We haven’t received the meal yet! -Don’t worry, everything shall be perfect!
-Oops! The napkin!
-Sorry, I’m just a little clumsy!
-There, there… I’ll leave you head-to-head! Bon appétit!
(This is not comfortable at all, but I’ll smurf everything they have to say.)
-Watch out, hot dish on the way! - Ah!! Not too early!
-And here we are… Chicken with truffles and cream sauce! -Hmm, it looks delicious!
-Well, I’ll help myself! I’m hungry like a wolf!
-Glurp… Ouch! It’s very hot!
-------------------- Keep on always smurfin'!!

-A bouquet of flowers, sir? -No, thunks.
-C’mon, look how beautiful they are! They would please the young lady very much!
-Oh yeah? Well, if she wants them, let her buy them!
(What a rude person!)
(Oh no, he did it on purpose! He’s gonna smurf everything!)
-Their chicken is a little dried, and rather leathery!
-First of all, don’t be shy! You took all the sauce!
-Given your waist size, it might be much better for you!
-You brute! If it’s just like that, I’d rather go away! -I’m not holding you back.
(So much the better, more will be left for me!)
(What a moron! After all the bad things that we have smurfed for him!)

-Margot is leaving already, and she looks furious!
-I think the plan got smurfed! What could have happened? -Jokey shall tell us when he smurfs back!
-Let’s liquidate everything. It would be stupid wasting this!
(Drat! The paste is beginning to smurf!)
-Phew! There, I can’t take it anymore!
(C’mon, Gargamel, hurry up!)
-Well, now to go home, for I need to take a nap!
(For smurf’s sake, here I am, embedded against will!)

-Gargamel left, but Jokey got inside his bag! -What??
-But after all, what’s he smurfing in there? -That guy always has to make the smurf!
-Smurf us out here quickly, Olivier, let’s follow Gargamel! -All right!
-So then, how did the meal go?
-The little lady left soon. Didn’t she appreciate my cooking? -Uh… Yes, she did! I think instead she had some problems with the other guest!
-Really? On the other hand, he’s a very good eater. He practically licked the plates! -This doesn’t surprise me. Excuse me, but I need to go now…
-Wait! I still have a small health problem… Do you think Homnibus could help me? -Surely! Go and see him!
-I suffer from heartburn… You know how unpleasant it is! -Yes, yes, I suspect so! Goodbye!
- Man, Gargamel disappeared and I don’t know where he went with Jokey Smurf!
- It doesn’t matter. He’ll jump off his bag as long as there’s nobody to see him. - Smurf us at the forest entrance, Olivier, so he’ll find us there.

- How now, Margot! Are you already back?
- But what’s happening to you? Did the meal go wrong?
- There was other winner at my table, but he was so wicked to me! He even told me I was fat!
- What? And who’s this man? - I don’t know, but he was all dressed in black and…
- Oh, there he is, that’s just him!
- Oh yeah? Well, I’ll give him that boor a piece of my mind!
- Hey, you! Wait! - Me?
- Yes, just you! I’ve got two words to say!
- You were very nasty to my friend Margot, so you should be ashamed! - Ah, is she… your friend?
-I’m so sorry! I... I’m not very sociable, for I usually spend my days alone... doing my researches. I only talk to Azrael, which is a cat!

(Gargamel smurfologizing? Unbelievable!)
- So you do researches? And what’s your job? - I am a sorc… I mean, a wizard!
- Oh, really? I’m quite interested in occultism! The correspondences, the virtues of stones, the astral body... - Oh, yes… I know this like the back of my hand!
- Still, you could have made an effort! Margot is a susceptible girl. Be nicer next time, right? - Oh, that’s a promise. I’m very sorry!
- Good, I’ll tell her about then. And if you need any kind of rare products, I work at the herbalist’s! Ask Roxana. - I’ll… I’ll remember this!
- This young woman’s got such a temper!
- Roxana… What a lovely name!
- Oh, blast, it’s beginning to rain!
(Something has just happened… My, that girl named Roxana must have smurfed his head!)
(Well, we left the village, so it’s time to get off this bag!)

-Ow, my shoulder! Cursed rheumatisms!!
-Oh, this got better now.
(I’m… I’m stuck up! That’s terrible, he’s smurfing me with him!)
-Smurf us here, Olivier!
-Would you like me to stay with you? -No, thanks, you can return. Jokey Smurf won’t be late!
- He should already be here! I wonder about what is smurfing him.
- Whew, at last I arrived!
- I’m soaked. What a bad time for the season!
- Get off here, Azrael! There’s no meat inside the bag.
- Today I made a meeting in the town... A charming young woman!

-Jokey will never come here. Besides, they left the town before us! - Maybe Gargamel has seen Jokey and smurfed him home!
- Let’s smurf quickly to the village; we must warn Papa Smurf! - You’re right!
- That Roxana has a bold personality and good looks! (SIGH) What a woman!
- Alas! I’m not but an obscure countryside sorcerer… She’ll never be interested in me! By the way… no one!
(And besides can you cook, Gargy?)
-NOOO!
-Drats!
- AZRAEL, CATCH THESE CARROTS!

-AZRAEL, STOP!
- A Smurf here! That’s incredible!
- I don’t know how you appeared in the bag, but you came just in time!
- My soup can wait. I’ll restart my old alchemic experience… Just the one that requires a Smurf broth! Hahaha!
- What? Did Gargamel capture him? My, I knew this story would smurf badly!
- I think there are three storks in the surroundings, and I need twelve Smurfs to go with me!

-True, I’m not happy in love, but if I succeed in fabricating the philosopher's stone thanks to you...
- …I’ll be able to change the lead into gold and I’ll become prodigiously rich, what shall be my consolation!
- Do you wish to say your last words?
- Yes!! You’re regrettable, having this loser’s spirit! - WHAT?
- Absolutely! I know you got the smurf stroke for Roxana, but you give up without having smurfing anything at all! - Bah, I’ve got no chance!
- Oh yes, you have! You didn’t smurf the signals she sent you, that’s all! - Signals? What signals?
- I could explain you everything, but as you are in such a hurry to smurf me in your cooking pot...
- Hmmm… I’ve got nothing to lose, listening to you for a moment! (Whew!)
- I smurfed what was going on: as soon as you talked about magic, you caused her interest!
- When she left, she wasn’t angry anymore, for she smurfed you her name and suggested that you go to the herbalist’s. An invitation, indeed! - Oh, you think?
- Yes! But on the other hand, you behaved awfully towards Margot. Therefore, it will be necessary to resmurf from scratch!

- Papa Smurf requested twelve Smurfs to come with him, so I wonder why you came too, Smurfette! - Please, Brainy, don’t start with your smurfmale chauvinist comments again!
- Here we are! Watch out, Gargamel mustn’t see us at all!
- Let’s smurf our approach by that side without a window.
- Hefty, smurf a look inside! - Right now, Papa Smurf!
- So that’s more smurf than smurf!!
- They’re discussing like the best smurfs in the world! - Huh? But that’s impossible! - I need to smurf that with my own eyes!

- You should smurf also a great effort to improve your appearance!
- And being gallant with the ladies without behaving like an ill-smurfed bear!
- It’s necessary to speak politely and gently with them, and to smurf compliments too!
- Yeah, I understood well!
- However, this is too difficult for me, so that I’ll get back to my first idea: putting you in my pot!
- No, Gargamel! Just wait!
- Not possible! That’s really the day of the Smurfs!
- Jokey Smurf is right, Gargamel! We can smurf of you another man, if you follow our advice.
- Your advice? Who do you think you are, miserable little elves? You don’t know anything!
- Excuse me, I could smurf you some lessons about maintaining your posture. Have you already smurfed at a mirror lately?
- And what about your clothes and hair? My, I’ve never seen anyone so badly smurfed!

-I’ll teach you to express yourself with elegance and smurf pretty letters! - And I’ll smurf you the rules of politeness and etiquette! - You’ll smurf with me physical exercises in order to lose this horrible paunch!
- C’mon, Gargamel, take up the challenge! If you smurf what you’re told, even Azrael won’t recognize you anymore. - Hmm…
- Alright! I agree to follow your instructions… for a week!
- But I’ll keep him hostage. And if I don’t get a date with Roxana, he’ll go to the pot!
- Here’s my strongest cage.
- I'll hide the key as soon as you leave, so don’t have any hopes of releasing him!
- Very well, by which part shall we start?
- Uh… Let’s wait until tomorrow, for we must smurf a program!
- But promise me that you won’t smurf him any harm and that you’lll treat him properly. -Who do you think I am?
- Here we are, little one! A beautiful carrot for your dinner.

-My! This time I think we’re smurfed in a fine mess!
- Hefty is right, changing Gargamel into a Smurfing Prince is an impossible mission!
- Don’t forget he’s in love. And as Poet Smurf said, love is bewitching and can smurf wonders!
-Yeah… But about Gargamel, I don’t believe so much. We should smurf a plan B!
-I hope it will work right... I’d really like to become irresistible!
- Er… Let’s not smurf the bar too high! Just being nice it’s already very good!
- Just nice? This won’t be enough for a young woman so special and marvelous as Roxana! (Oh my! He’s smurfsolutely affected!)
(In the evening, the Smurfs develop their strategy.) -Very good, Painter Smurf! That’s really the all-smurfed Gargamel!
- Well, in your opinion, what are the unsmurfiest defects of his?

- He’s misleading and wicked! - He’s stupid enough to smurf hay! - He’s gruesome! - He’s coarse! - He never bathes! - He’s got foot odor! - I HATE Gargamel!
- Alright, that’s smurfenough. From what you all said, his case seems hopeless!
- Let’s think under a more positive way: what can we smurf to improve him?
- As I told him already, if we teach him to smurf more straight, he shall look much better! - And we could style his hair and make him dress smartly!
- Very well! You’ll smurf a team to make him more presentable.
- He talks pretty badly, so I’m going to smurf him a diction course and teach him some beautifully smurfed sentences! -And I’ll smurf him the rules of politeness and courtesy! - Perfect!
- A little exercise would smurf him very well!
- But we must smurf the results in a short time. So I’ll need Handy Smurf’s help to conceive some gear! - OK!
- That’s a good beginning. However, be specially effective! The main challenge is smurfing a date with Roxana in a week! - It's not smurfed in advance!
- I would smurf a little permanent on his hair! - What next, then? We can also smurf it in blond!! - Oh yes, why not?

-GARGAMEL! - Yes, my dear? Here I am…
- Wake up, Gargamel. Time to begin your training. - Huh? What? Are you already here?
- Yes, we’re waiting for you downstairs. And keep your cat from bothering us!
- No, Azrael, no hunting Smurfs today!
- I’m gonna work in a team with them! I know this is so vexing, but I’m doing it for Roxana! So you must stay locked here.
-And stop grumbling, this is very important to me!
- Ah, here he comes!
- I smurfed you a fruit salad! That’s a very healthy breakfast.
- When you're done, we'll go to your posture lesson. Try already to smurf cleanly!

- Let’s begin, Gargamel. Take that blue book, exactly the thickest! - A spellbook? But why?
- Hold it and smurf it on your smurf. - Sorry?
- She told you to put it on your head. - Just that! Now, you must walk smurfing it in balance!
- In balance, without holding it? This will never work!
- Ah… Ah… Yeah, I’ll get there!
- What do you say about?
- That’s such a smurfstrophe! Much worse than usual. - We need to make use of other way, but it’s going to be hard to smurf!
-Hey there! Come everybody and smurf me a hand!
- Smurf by this rope, you must hoist the broom to the ceiling!
- Do you allow me to smurf on your shoulder?
- Go and smurf just below the broom!

- Give some slack and let it smurf slowly! - I can’t see what is to come!
- OH! AAAAAAH! This tickles!
- There, it’s much better! Walk on and bulge the smurf… I mean, smurf the torso!
- Hmph… He’s bulging specially the belly! It’s time to smurf a bit of sport.
- But first, you have to remove that! Wear some lighter clothing.
- Eww! No doubt he’ll also need new pants!
- We prepared already the equipment. For the first exercise, you must smurf on your back... -On my back? This doesn’t seem hard for me.
- What?! You removed the wheels from my cart!
- Smurf under the wheels. Then raise them at arm's length twenty times. That’s enough for today!
- Hmpf… It’s hard! - Sure! That’s the idea.
- Very good, Gargamel, go on! Twelve… Thirteen! Fourt… Er, no, this doesn’t count, you didn’t stretch your arms enough!

-Ow… I’ve got bicep cramps! -That’s not grave! And now you’ll smurf a foot race on a special engine.
- Ok, here we are. You only need to assemble it smurfing this scheme. - But… You have pierced my barrel!
- I can’t understand your scheme at all! - But it’s as simple as smurf! Start by smurfing the axis through the barrel, and…
- Whew! Ready, at last! But it’s missing a small peg here! - Very well, coming!
- And what shall it be used for? Making butter? - No, you’re going to smurf on it and begin to run!
- Running on a barrel? But I’ll break my face! - Not if you keep the rhythm. - Thumbs up! Think about Roxana.
- There! Very well!
- Too bad, you lost the rhythm.
- Pf! About sport, I’m just fed up! - That’s good! Poet Smurf is going to smurf you a diction course.

-Follow me, Gargamel; we’re going to the waterfall.
- But it’s far away. Why do we have to go right there? - Because it’s very important for the exercise we shall smurf.
- The goal is just learning to smurf clearly: your voice must cover the sound of water! - Well, and what do I have to say?
- Start by repeating this: “eight late smurfs and eight great smurfs”!
- Er… no, wait! Better smurf a translation: “eight late mates and eight great dates”!
- Eight lite mates… Eight late mites… Eight late mates and eight grate… Drats! - Don’t smurf your temper, just focus on!
(So much later…) - “Eight late mates and eight great dates! Eight late mates and eight great dates”!
- So what do you say about that? - Very good, and now we can smurf to the next step!
- Now you’re going to smurf the same words with these pebbles in your mouth!
- Pebbles?? But what if I swallow any? - Oh, it doesn’t matter: there’s more of them in the river!

- What then, how was this first day? - Exhausting! I’m broken.
- And precisely I’ve just had a better idea. - Yes?
- Let’s unite our knowledge, so that we could manufacture an irresistible love-philter! - No, no way! Love-philters are cheating and dishonest!
- And besides, they’re short-term and can bring about side effects!
- You have to play fair! Go rest and tomorrow you’ll resume your training! - Oh, well… If it’s as it should be.
- And don’t forget Jokey Smurf’s walk, you’ve promised it! - Alright, but just after you leave and at the end of a leash! - Ha! Wonderful.
(The following days, Gargamel continues his efforts.)
-One, two! One, two!

(But on the seventh day…) - The week has passed, and I've had enough! -Me too!
- Okay! Time to invite Roxana then! - But he can’t go there like that, wearing those clothes so smurfed up!
- That’s right! Go to the town and smurf a more elegant outfit!
- This won’t be necessary. I’ve got a costume in reserve for special occasions!
- Well, where did it go? Ah, here it is!
- So what do you say about this?
- But it’s just the same as the other! - Not at all! It’s made of velvet.
- I see we must smurf these things by hand! - Right! Let’s call Tailor Smurf.
- You shall need to smurf just above the knee, Tailor. - We’re gonna indent here… - And tighten it at the waist!
- We’ve got the seams to smurf, but we’ll need a thick needle and solid thread! - Yep, the fabric is heavy!

-Lala lalalala… Lalalalala… - Whoa! Be careful with this needle!
- It's smurfsolutely better! Much more suitable. - Now, a hairdressing session and you’ll get ready.
- Is this really necessay? - Oh, yes! Smurftrust me.
- Handy, will you smurf me the curling iron?
- Here it goes, Smurfette!
- Come back here, Gargamel!
- That’s it! We couldn’t have smurfed better. - Not with him, anyway.
- And now just imagine you’re before Roxana, and smurf her an invitation!
- Say, chick, what if we get a little grub at home, just you and me? - Ewww, that’s horrible! I better smurf with you to prepare you on the way!
- Good luck! - Best of smurf!

-And above all, talk to her about magic! This subject interests her.
- Er… Good morning!
- Oh, is that you, Gargamel? You look pretty great today! - Really?
- And what can I do for you? - I’d like a half-ounce of crushed figworth.
- That’s here, well weight. Anything else? - Yes!!! A little bur… bur… burnet!
- That’s all, right? It’s three sous. - T…Three sous? Right now!
- Gargamel, what are you waiting for? Tell her, for the smurfness’ sake!
- But where do I have my head? I’m forgetting the most important!
- I was wondering… Since you're interested in occult sciences, maybe you could go home tomorrow night! I'll show you my lab, and we’d talk a little, around a good meal...
- Unfortunately this won’t be possible…
- Oh!! Never mind… It doesn’t matter!
- I won’t be free tomorrow, but I’ll be glad to go the day after tomorrow!

- She said yes! She said yes! -Hey there, calm down!
- Here they are!
- Smurfed mission! She has accepted! - Hooray!
- Just tell us, Gargamel! Was this test very hard to smurf?
- It was terrible! Exhausting! For a hundred times I almost gave up!
- But I held it on! I gave all that I had, until the end… AND I SUCCEEDED! - Yaaay! That’s the true winning spirit!
- That’s good! Now, don’t you think it’s time to release Jokey Smurf?
- None of that! If I release him, you’ll go away, and I need you to prepare the dinner! - What? Why, you dirty smurf… -You’ve promised!

-Listen! If you free him, we’ll promise to help you. Otherwise, we’ll sabotage your date secretly!
- Right, right! I’m gonna look for the key.
- I’m taking it back, Azrael… for I must release the Smurf.
- No, no, you can’t leave as long as they are here!
- Free, at last! I was going to become smurf in that cage!
- Let’s smurf down to business without further delay. We have to clean and arrange everything, as well as smurf a little decoration! - This shall be no picnic!
- I also promised to prepare a good meal! - And that’s for my smurf, of course!
- Well, I’m going to change my clothes!
- First of all, no hanging around! We won’t smurf all your work for you!

-To start, you have to smurf a good sweep everywhere! - Right, right.
- AAAAHHHHHHH! THAT AIR! - We’ll smurfocatte in there!
- Now you’re going to smurf some order in this jumble!
- C’mon, let’s go! Smurf all of that to a discount store!
- Hey, where are you going with my last new bed sheet? - Very well, it shall smurf a very nice tablecloth!
- Don’t you have any plates in better conditions? - Huh… I must have two tin ones somewhere.
- Removing the fly dirt shall smurf things out!
- She won’t take you seriously with such a neglected lab. Get to work!
- Say, what’s this kind of thing inside your aluminum furnace? - Oh, just a quiche I tried to warm up last week.

(Everybody deals with the preparations.)
-There! All we need to do is smurf it on the wall.
- Your sunflowers look so bizarre! - It’s not easy smurfing a painting with such a thick brush!
- What are you cooking for dinner? - Some smurfsnacks to start…
- …Then, smurfed morels* accompanied by a salad of young sprouts with hazelnut oil! (* a type of edible mushroom) - Yum-yum! Delicious!
- “Smurf me morels”! Easy to say, necessary to find… Hmph! The meal for him, the chore for us! - No, Dopey Smurf, this is a puffball!
(And finally the big moment approaches.) -Ready! He’s washed, dressy, hair done… - Now I’ll smurf the final touch!
- What’s that? - Rose extract to perfume you!
- Hmmmm… It smells good!
- Stop, you’ll smurf of roses ten feet away!

-I think everything is ready! -Yes, but Gargamel looks pretty nervous and doesn’t stop biting his nails!
- She’ll be here soon! What must I do? What must I say? - It’s time to smurf your own wings! You’ll have to improvise.
- Gargamel, this bouquet needs some more colors. Go smurf some poppies quickly! - Pop… Oh, poppies! Good idea.
- I know where there are some: on the embankment there!
-This shall keep him busy for a moment. If he is too tense, he’ll smurf everything!
- What’s the matter, is Gargamel already back? - That’s not him! Let's all hide!
- That’s it… They’re splendid!
- But… This broom doesn’t belong to me!
- Hello, darling!

-Mommy?! Is that you? - That’s right! Come to my arms, my little Gagar!
- That’s Gargamel’s mother! And where did she smurf from? - Teehee! She called him Gagar!
-What are you doing here? -What question, I’ve come to visit you!
- You abandon me for a flying carpet salesman and come back as if nothing had happened? - Alfalzar is a great wizard renowned throughout the Orient!
- MOREOVER, I DIDN’T ABANDON YOU! YOU HAD ALREADY TWENTY YEARS OLD WHEN I WENT AWAY AND I LEFT THE HOUSE TO YOU!
- Ha! This old rotten hovel! - Well, I don’t find it so bad, I’m even surprised at your good taste!
- And you’re also rather well-groomed. But that’s just because you’re waiting for a young woman… Roxana, right? - Huh… How do you know all of that?
- Oh, the maternal instinct as well as my own means to know. I’m a first class witch, after all!
- Well, Roxana shall arrive. Under no circumstances will she find you here! - But I’d like to meet her!
- Not al all! You must leave right now! - Why, you… ungrateful son!
- Too late, here comes her!

-Good evening, madam! - Miss!
- My name is Roxana. - Yes, I know! I’m Gargamel’s mommy.
- Oh, nice to meet you! Will you have dinner with us? - No, sorry! She needs to leave now. Mommy just came in a broom… I mean, a gust of wind!
- Yes, that’s right, I’m going! Have a nice evening, miss!
- Make yourself at home, Roxana. I’ll say a few words to my mother and I'm coming.
- No need to accompany me. I know when I’m not wanted!
- Don’t mount your broom here, that looks rather nasty. - In addition, you’re ashamed of your mother!
- Well, I'll be honest: this girl is pretty good, so we could do something about it.
- On the other hand, you don’t rely too much on your charm. It won’t be enough!
-Luckily I’ve got everything planned. I brought you this philter of irresistible love!
- Oh, no… Papa Smur… Whatever, I don’t intend to use that! - Anyway, keep it. You shall thank me later!

-Bonne appétit and good luck, Adonis! Ha ha ha.
- Where are you, Roxana? - Just here, Gargamel!
- I was so impatient to see your laboratory… Occult sciences have always fascinated me! - Oh, really?
-However, I’m just a bit disappointed: I was expecting a more spectacular installation! - You know, the equipment is less important than knowledge!
- Then I suppose you deal with the “Great Work”? The transmutation of metals? - Ahem… Certainly! And my work is very advanced, but I need to keep discret!
- Between us, what do you think about the treatise of Albert the Great on the “philosopher’s stone”? - Treatise of… Oh, shucks. There’s the one to take and the one to leave!
- But come here, dear friend, let’s have something!
- I’m so happy that you could come! - Me too, it gave me the chance to meet your mother!
- Hm. Excuse me, I’ll bring the smurflée… I mean, the soufflé!
-Gargamel, do you believe Hermes Trismegistus the famous alchemist is a real character? -Ernest who? In any case, I’ve never met him!

-Poor Gargamel, if she goes on smurfing this kind of questions, he’ll fall into the ridiculous!
-Did you enjoy it? -It was delicious. I’d like to take a look at your library, Gargamel. It seems very interesting to me!
- What a beautiful copy of the "Enchiridion"! It's really fascinating! (Mommy was right: she’s interested in magic, not in me!)
(Nobody sees me. To heck with Papa Smurf, I’ll make use of the philter!)
(Let's not skimp. I’ll put everything!)
-Here, my dear! Taste for me this sweet cider of love apples... Uh, small apples!
-Here, my dear! Taste for me this sweet cider of love apples... Uh, small apples!
- Oh, Gargamel… I…I… - Yes, my dear, tell me!
- I don’t… feel… good!
- Roxana!? What does she have?? HELP!

-She’s breathing normally, but remains unconscious! - It’s probably because of the mushrooms she smurfed! -No, sorry! The morels were excellent!
- I’ve no idea what she has! - I… I made her drink a love potion that my mother gave me!
- WHAT!?! YOU ROGUE!! I had warned you yet, and we don’t even know what this philter contains!
- Take her outside, in the open air! That’s all we can do this moment.
- At least the bodybuilding exercises smurfed well for something!
(At this moment, at the edge of the wood…) -Ah, here’s a cottage! Finally I’ll be able to ask my way.
- A horseman’s coming here, let’s hide!
- But what’s happening here? Is this young lady sick? - Huh, she’s just got… a little discomfort!

-But first, who are you? -I’m Adalbert, the king's messenger. Would you mind if I helped? I took a training in first aid!
- But… That’s Roxana!!
- Do you know her? - She’s my childhood friend! We’ve lost sight of each other for years!
- I’ll try a technique used for drowned people, called mouth-to-mouth!
- WELL, WELL! DON’T BE SO SHY!
- Oooooh… Where I am?
- I succeeded! She recovered consciousness! - Congratulations! Now you can go, so that you won’t be late!
- Adalbert? Is it really you, or am I just dreaming?
- Adalbert? Is it really you, or am I just dreaming?
- Yes, Roxana, that’s really me! - After so much time, I didn’t hope to see you again!
- This time, if you ask me I’ll never leave you anymore! - Oh, Adalbert!
- My, things are not smurfing as expected!

-Gargamel, thanks to you I found my childhood love again! - Yeah, but… The dessert…
- Adalbert shall go with me, but I’ll never forget what I owe you!
- You’re such a remarkable man… with a certain dark charm!
- And once again thank you for everything!
- No sense at all! Is she leaving with that whipper-snapper?
- What does she see in him? It must be the effect of that stupid love potion!
- I’ve warned you: we can’t foresee the consequences!
- I should never have listened to you! I made all those efforts just to end up all alone, as before!
-Well, not quite… You’ve got Azrael yet! -Er… I feel he’ll smurf his crisis. Time to go…
- YOU ARE GOING TO PAY ME, YOU WRETCHED IMPS! - Let’s smurf or he’ll catch us! - We shouldn’t have trained him in the race!

-Whew! He gave up pursuing us at last!
- Anyway, what a coincidence! He was her childhood friend and was smurfing just by there! - Oh yes, they’re just the things of love and chance. - Well, this would smurf a good title for a play!
- And here we are, everything is ruined. Mommy was right… Love is not for me!
-Behave yourself! Why are you looking at me like that?
- But what are you doing? Stop turning around me!! - Shoo, I tell you! -MEOOOW!
- All's well that smurfs well. Roxana and Adalbert met again at last… How beautiful is love!
- I smurfully agree, Smurfette!
- Wait! I was just going to invite you to smurf a literary piece at home!

Say, mind if I use your translations of the pages to edit and put into the comic pages (replacing the original French dialogue, of course)?

You're smurfy welcome. Just to correct a careless mistake I made on the sixth panel from the page 16:
- Oh yeah? Well, I’ll give him that boor a piece of my mind!
CORRECTION: - Oh yeah? Well, I’ll give that boor a piece of my mind!

I was thinking of doing that. It's nice to have the translated dialogue, but it's better to have it be placed in the word balloons themselves.
