The Gas Bar is also regularly attended by his friends as Gaston Savard (Gilles Renaud), Jos, Normand Party, Yves Michaud, Claude, Nelson and Ti-Pit.

Mr. Brochu, widower and suffering an initial Parkinson's disease, would like to keep his family united by the work at the station; but the dissatisfaction of the boys with the routine seems to send them away.

He sees the way in which the transition is managed as a kind of forced modernization, which suddenly clears the everyday life of East Germans, as well as the new self-services will replace filling stations.

The day after Jos and Ti-Pit read the "End of Business" message of "The Boss": first perplexed, immediately go in search of the other friends of the group, sure to find them at the convenience store.
