I don't speak French, but I'd be interested, what does the french bread say to Charles Aznavour in the "Dressing Room" scene of The Muppet Show (season 1, episode 9). Could someone please tell me this French sentence (and a rough English translation)?
I'd be interested in the other French sentences Mr. Aznavour tells to Miss Piggy, (the translation is "Your oil filter has a leak and your transmission is sagging.").

I should really watch the episode again to be correct, but I remember the Dutch subtitles in my episode saying: "Look closer, sweetheart. My history lies in France!"

Joggy,

If you don't mind double-checking the subtitles that would be great. We can include the French translation on the site.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I watched the tape again and the subtitle seems to be the wrong translation...

If I'm correct the bread says: "Oh, voyons, cherie! Mais j'ai l'accent Français!"

which means:

"Oh, look, honey, but I have the French accent!"
