Radio Ga Ga is the two-hundred ninety-second video in the lonelygirl15 video series. It is also the thirty-sixth video of season two.

Transcript

(Video starts with a zoom of the French flag under Arc de Triomphe. Cut to Toe walking down the street. Toe just keeps shaking his head. Cut to a man selling miniature Eiffel Towers on the street. Zoom in on dancing figurines next to him. Cut to the man selling the figurines speaking to the group in French. Cut to a tent with tables underneath. At one sits Julia and Steve drinking coffee. Cut to Steve's coffee cup and pan up to Steve.)

Steve: So we think that Charlie is in a prison somewhere down there. (Points down the road. The camera zooms down the road.) We've been to quite a few already, but it's difficult cause we can speak about 8 French words between the lot of us.

Toe: Now that's a bad call, ah man. Don't wanna be messing with the bizzies over here, lad.

Steve: So what do you want us to do then, Toe? Just hang around and expect something to happen?

Julia: Steve, I'm really really sorry. This is all my fault. You know, if I hadn't a called. And now all my friends are involved.

Steve: No, we're in this together. Okay? (To Toe) Including you!

Lauren: Steve! Steve! You gotta hear this. I was in that cafe and in the background there was this stuff on the radio. I've got some of it on here. I-I don't know if it's any good. The sound. But they were talking about Charlie. I'm sure they were. Listen.

(French radio clip plays from Lauren's phone)

Steve: Michelle Clore! I definitely heard the name Michelle Clore!

Lauren: It's not about me, do you think?

Julia: We didn't hear anything else.

Toe: Toyota. I definitely heard Toyota.

Steve: What the hell are we doing here?

Lauren: It's okay, just wait. Do we know anyone around here that speaks better French? We've gotta decode it. Fast! Please!

Steve: Whatever happens, we're not leaving Paris without Charlie, okay? (Gets up and walks away)

(Toe turns the camera to himself, shakes his head at Steve, and turns it off.)

Steve, Lauren, Julia, Toe and Charlie need your help!!

Can anyone here speak French? I can't, I mean I did it in school but I've forgotten most of it now! Steve uploaded Lauren's radio recording here:

Do you know why they've taken Charlie?
