I Do Declare

Q:

Take the 2 word phrase "visual pistol"  (as opposed to a concealed weapon), and the word "crime".  A visual pistol may be used during a crime.

Now, rearrange these 17 letters to create a 3 word phrase and then a second single word in which the second word may be used after the 3 word phrase.

Last Minute Hint:

Look at the pictures.  Who are they?  Jacques Mesrine (Public Enemy) and Babar.  What do they have in common?

A:  


Both pictures refer to French figures.  The answer is in french, although very common.

S'il vous plait (please) and merci (thank you).  The word merci may be used after s'il vous plait.
