The premise

Here’s the bit.

An English-speaking motorist, stranded in France, stops a cyclist to ask where she can find a garage. He answers fluently but insists he does not understand English, then brings a second passerby into the conversation. Their polite, unhelpful exchange turns into the same puzzle in German before the woman gives up and leaves.
