the words caught my attention
i am wondering ..
does 'une' mean 'one' and can 'deux' defined as 'two' ?
it's because i saw this :
The Return (Part Une)
The Return (Part Deux)

Hi, noco, and welcome! Smile

They are French. As you have guessed, "une" (or its masculine form, "un") means "one" and "deux" means "two". Since "part" is English, it seems a little precious to use some English and some French in the same sentence, although there could be a good reason for it, I suppose.

Welcome, Noco! Smile So great to have someone new to join us.

Hmmm...I will have to pay attention because I will soon be in France.

A little precious, huh arnie? Well, I guess you missed the great classic movie, "Hotshots, Part Deux!" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107144/ Wink It's even got Rowan Atkinson! Wowie!!!

Good to have fresh blood, Noco! Welcome to the asylum!

True. Since the movie is a apparently a parody, perhaps the titles seen by noco are parodies of the parody. Or perhaps the Hotshots! movie is a parody of noco's originals? Confused
