Plot: Fine suffers from not being seen but she also does her best at not being noticed, even though she is an acting student. At night, when her mentally handicapped sister Jule cannot get to sleep and stereotypically bangs her head against the wall, Fine turns the recorder on and gives a firework of singing, acting and dancing. However in the acting school she lacks self confidence to uninhibitedly storm the stage. After the well known director Kasper Friedemann invites Fine for an audition, she convinces him with her acting. But he also sees in Fine an injured being (vulnerable personality) that matches his vision of Camille, the main character in his next play. Fine gets her first big part that she in no way wants to lose. She slips into another identity. As Camille, she awakens to her femininity, but through Camille, Fine also loses her own strengths that she shows every day in dealing with her sister Jule. Because Camille is not only self-conscious and sexually active but at the same time mentally fragile and self-destructive. Fine puts herself in the hands of her director who lets her go through hell without psychologically rescuing her. A dangerous game in which she becomes her own enemy.

They decide to chase the champion of fear in Gaul to learn how to fly and make them invincible warriors. Meanwhile, the nephew of Vitalstatistix, Justforkix, is sent from Parisium to the Gaulish village to become a man and Asterix and Obelix are assigned to train the youngster. The stupid son of Cryptograf, Olaf, listens to a conversation of the coward Justforkix with Asterix and Obelix and kidnaps him. While returning to the Viking village, Justforkix meets Abba, the daughter of Timandahaf, and they fall in love for each other. But the Machiavellian and ambitious Cryptograf plan to marry his son Olaf with Abba and become powerful. In the end, Asterix realizes that it is not fear that gives wings, it is love.

If you try to lift it every day, I'm sure you'll make it.::Justforkix: Yeah... I don't think so. It's impossible.::Obélix: How can you know it's impossible if you don't try?

Olaf: [Abba was posing as a man to get onboard the viking longboat, but the vikings discovered her true identity. She has just made a lengthy speech to the all male crew about how women should have all the rights of men] Who is this new guy?::Timandahaf: That's my daughter, cod brain!::Olaf: Your daughter's a man?

Abba: [Vikea has just given Timandahaf a "shopping" list of all the things she wants him to bring back from his raid. Abba walks in carrying a chest] Okay.

Let me come with you just this once and then I'll never bother you again, I promise.::Timandahaf: Well... eh... Absolutly not! No women and no children on board! [Abba keeps trying to get a word in] Don't argue! I have spoken! By Thor and Odin put together! [Abba is clearly getting mad] And don't you go bezerk on me, young lady! [Abba kicks down a shelf in frustration, which in turn knocks down the other shelves, destroying all the family's mugs and plates]::Vikea: I'll make you another list.

I was just... wondering... what's your policy on people who... promise something and then can't... deliver on it?::Abba: Oh, you mean a liar? Look up there. [Gestures with her head]::[Justforkix looks up and sees a skeleton imbedded in the ice, an axe in it's skull]::Justforkix: Aaah! What is *that?*::Abba: The last guy who lied to me. Daddy took care of him.::Justforkix: S-so how about three o'clock Tuesday for your first flying lesson? [laughs nervously]

[Justforkix is tied to the mast on the Viking ship - he has just been reunited with SMS, who has flown to him from Gaul]::Abba: Hey! Cool bird! It's yours, right?::Justforkix: Uh... yeah, it's... it's mine alright.::Abba: Are you the Champion?::Justforkix: [trying to sound important] My name is Justforkix. Who are you?::Abba: Oh, yeah, sorry - I'm Abba.::Justforkix: Can - can you help me?::Abba: Yeah, if I can.::[Abba sees that he's shivering - she takes off her coat, revealing her skimpy Vikingette dress beneath]::Justforkix: Wow!::Justforkix: [Abba wraps the coat around him] Thanks - yeah, that's nice. [Continues to shiver]::Abba: Are you cold?::Justforkix: N-no... I'm not cold. I'm... I'm... afraid.::Abba: [gasps] You are so *lucky*!::Justforkix: Lucky?::Abba: To be able to fly!::Justforkix: *Fly*?::Abba: Oh, I'd love to be able to fly up in the sky, and then soar higher and higher right up to the sun!::Justforkix: Uh...::Abba: Oh, please, teach me? Tell me your secrets?::Justforkix: Uh... if you help me get home, I'll, uh, give it a try...::Timandahaf: What is this? [to Abba] I've told you a hundred times, not to talk to strangers!::Justforkix: S-s-sorry!::Timandahaf: Not *you*! *Her!*::Abba: Gee, Dad, thanks for embarrassing me in front of the hostage!

[Justforkix sees Asterix and Obelix after an intense and - to him - frightening 3 days of training]::Justforkix: No! Please! [Hides behind Impedimenta] Do *not* leave me alone with them!::Abraracourcix: [to Asterix and Obelix] Ooh, is THAT what you call "fantastic", "great" progress?

Just as he and his partner are about to flee Patria with their booty, Riggs realizes he has fallen in love with the girl and returns the money, together with a note that is part confession and part love letter. But the larcenous duo's escape from Patria turns out to be more difficult than they could ever have imagined.

Johnny Parkson Riggs: This isn't a country. It's a cemetery with a train running through it.

Aunt Amarilla: Right now we will have lunch, as only Gaston can prepare it.::Yolanda Aquaviva: I am hungry.::Aunt Amarilla: Good. I've planned something a little special. Fresh caviar, which was flown here from Russia, avocados flown here from California, and roast pheasants - they fly here themselves.

Aunt Amarilla: You have the largest, most modern stables in the entire country. Do you like horses?::Yolanda Aquaviva: Oh yes, I do.::Aunt Amarilla: Fine, we must buy a horse.

Aunt Amarilla: Do my fingernails immediately and bring them to my room.

Victor Budlow Trout: Johnny, do you realize the penalty for impersonating an angel?::Johnny Parkson Riggs: No, what is it?::Victor Budlow Trout: Well, it's - it's - pretty severe.

Yolanda Aquaviva: Mr. Brown doesn't dance... except, perhaps, on the head of a pin.::Aunt Amarilla: Oh, I should like to see that.

Johnny Parkson Riggs: You didn't tell anybody I was your guardian angel, did you?::Yolanda Aquaviva: Not exactly. All I said was that you weren't a real man. My aunt doesn't believe me.::Yolanda Aquaviva: I'm glad of that. I'd rather it didn't get around.

Johnny Parkson Riggs: I'm afraid you made a mistake.::Policeman: Oh no, Señor, no mistake. We have here your descriptions.::Victor Budlow Trout: It's a mistake. [Motioning to himself and Johnny.] We don't look like this.
