Original subtitles

Tell my friends that my truck has been confiscated

that they must work elsewhere and I'll get in touch.

You can stay with me. - Thanks,

but these people saved my life

so now I must help them.

Nobody leaves the shelter before the alert is over.

Especially not until the alert is over. Passive defense.

Go on.

It's on the right.

Where? - To the right.

It's here. Here!

Take everything worth anything.

What are you doing? Help us.

A regular Ali Baba's den.

Look at all the books.

Do they have "Les Miserable?"

Hey candlesticks. - Jewish candlesticks.

Candlesticks are candlesticks. So?

No. But there's a Bible, if you're interested.

Is it good? - It's not bad.

Keep on looking.

A close call.

It's the first time they bomb Paris.

Do we always have to share with the Gestapo?

Great suits.

We'll be dressed to the nines until we die.

Where I'm going, will I be able to listen to the radio?

Where we are going, Mr. Ziman, there's no electricity yet.

But I'll give you the news every morning.

Look out.

I've always been afraid of the dark.

I'll light the way.

I'm to stay here? - Yes.

I'd have brought flowers, but

this is the best I can do.

What's this? - A Swiss invention.

What for? - It makes money invisible.

Invisible.

There's invisible money? - Yes, money that doesn't exist.

I'm to go to Switzerland to get money that doesn't exist?

It only exists in Geneva.

They won't give it to me. - Yes, they will.

I don't want anything. You're among friends.

Ladies, could you kindly come over to the rotunda.

It's very simple.

These gentlemen will make you up and do your hair.

Then I'll dress you in beautiful gowns.

Be beautiful for a beautiful party.

Honey, since I can see Mommy every day

I send you this picture

but you must promise

to return it to me when we meet again.

You know I love it.

I've started walking

and without your mother's persistence

I don't know how I'd manage.

Was the chicken good? - How can I thank you?

It's nothing. I brought some flowers.

For my daughter.

Nice weather? - Very.

Besdies my wife and daughter, I miss daylight.

I understand, but

there's too much going on around here to let you out.

Time to walk now. - But it hurts real bad!

It hurts more than yesterday.

The doctor said so, you must walk in order to walk.

Come on.

My stick? - A stick? What for?

I'll be your stick.

Your husband's a great guy.

You met a long time ago? - When he came up to Paris

for the Farmer's Fair.

We met in the market area.

20 years ago! Can you imagine?

Wasn't just yesterday. - I can't stand it.

Good thing you're here. He's better.

Oh, yeah? So you can walk now?

Show me.

Good.

He's made progress.

I can't. It hurts.

I'll help you to bed. - How was Switzerland?

I never thought anyone would give me so much money.

So much money! - I told you.

Here it is. To prove my point. Here is your money.

No, keep it. - You made me go there to...

You'll get the same amount every month.

You're mad. - Every month!

Every month? - Let's say...

I'm investing in farms. I'm your partner.

There's no doubt that the gangsters who robbed

the Vichy government's payroll

had inside information. Therefore

both Marshall Petain and President Laval

request that no pity whatsoever be shown

to the hoodlums who prey on the misery

of the people of France.

She's beautiful.

Well she's a ballerina.

That's not why.

How old's your paper? Maybe she isn't so pretty now?

You're so negative. 1930.

The year they got married.

You keep track of everything. You're quite something.

You know he's had 25 acquittals?

Great! If I want to kill someone. I know who to go to.

I like him. Don't fret, I'm not jealous.

At least he looks at me! - You in love?

Cut it out! - You're not in love?

He is charming.

I don't want a Jew in your bed.

I don't know why.

Listen, it's time to sleep.

We're talking nonsense here.

Next week is going to be busy.

Don't make any appointments in Paris.

We're going in Lyon.

Must we share with the Krauts? - I told you so.

"French Republic Treasury Department, Vichy!"

I'll be laughing until the war is over.

You still not happy?

I'll get used to it.

How are you going to spend your dough?

I'll do like Mr. Madeleine, redistribute it.

Only your share, if you don't mind.

That's enough.

General von Scholtitz will arrive this very night.

My love, with what is happening in Stalingrad.

I feel as though God has finally switched sides

and that we will soon be together.

Am I distrubing you?

Francois is off to Geneva to get your money

so I came to keep you company.

Aren't you cold? - No, I'm fine.

See what I found?

1930. She was beautiful.

I hope she still is!

Robin Hood weds Cosette!

Not an easy place to find!

You live in here?

I'm sure happy I didn't take up boxing.

Seriously, who are these guys?

Regular guys like us, who haven't found themselves.

So they rob trains!?

These are miserable times.

Is Doc a real doc? - He kept you alive!

Unforntunately.

Excuse me. Your papers aren't in order.

Please come with me.

Officer!

We forgot to tell you. They are traveling with us.

Fine.

Thank you, sir.

Why do people hate Jews so much?

Anti-Semitisim is like an impotent man

who blames his wife. See?

When the world is impotent

it blames the Jews.

You think Hitler is impotent? - I know he is!

He's impotent?

It even happens to me. And I'm not an anti-Semite.

I heard Hitler's grandpa was Jewish. That cuts you short, huh?

I'm already cut short.

I don't know what Hitler's grandpa did to him,

but he's vindictive!

If I told you about Hitler's childhood...

...Cosette's would seem like a life of holidays.

Why do you compare everything to "Les Miserables"? It's weird.

Because of a guy who can't read.

And because our times are the most miserable of all.

In 1937, I played at a concert here.

I was flattered that the great Elise Ziman came.

Why are we here? - These men were on the Eastern front.

I promised them a great party.

Your French?

Why the uniform? - Well because

the Germans honor the good French.

Must I sleep with you?

If you wish to survive, I think it's the sensible thing to do.

I'd rather you were German. - Me too.

You know what I mean.

The women here have been chosen for excellent reasons.

You okay? - Fine. Nobody wants me.

I must phone my daughter.

The General invites you to a private dinner.

Please follow me.

Mrs Ziman, don't do that again.

Or I'll send you away.

Arrest her.

I hurt your feelings?

Do you realize what you're asking me to do?

Don't move! I won't touch you. No touching! There!

I won't even help you walk. You're doing fine, anyway.

I don't know. If we did...

So you're married. But she's not here!

You might never see her again. Maybe you will, maybe you won't.

Today's today. Now. Not yesterday.

The Jews, Moses and all, I don't mind.

We're all going to die.

I might die today!

All I want is...time without borders. That's all.

Maybe we could...I mean, it's all here, in the air.

We don't need any... Of course.

I mean, if we had to live like that all the time, well...

I never had any of it! Maybe you did.

Fine. But I'm just a regular jerk

I'm vulgar and all. But, I gave you what I had to give.

So don't bullshit me. We'll never meet again.

I don't want to cheat on your wife. You can't cheat on nothing.

You could be dead, but you're alive.

You're here, you jerk. And my husband, the other jerk

he likes you. And he's jealous of you!

But there's nothing to be jealous about. You're here

and I'm still a woman, right? It's not over.

That's all. All this will go away fast.

We'll spend the night here, to avoid any suspicion...

then I'll try to get you out of here.

I don't get it. - That's okay.

Who are you? - I'm not one of them.

Children must stay with their mothers.

Men must disband behind the building, on the right.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespassess...

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Deliver us...

You! Say the prayer alone. - What do you mean?

We were told you're hiding a Jewish girl.

On my most Holy word, I swear

there are no Jews here.

Say the prayer alone.

Our Father who art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy name.

Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us

our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Deliver us from evil. Amen.

What's this, an inn?

I'm tired.

I'm hungry.

So? - I think I saw this when I was a kid.

It's a 30's film. No way.

I've seen it. I'll wait outside.

Don't leave during the intermission, okay? See you.

Didn't you hear me?

I'm a convict! Out of hard labor!

I spent 19 years in hard labor! "Considered dangerous!"

Intermission's over. - Don't ask for too much.

Tonight, during the alert, people will rob your building.

Friends of the Gestapo.

So hide your valuables

and warn your neighbors.

Answer me, Marius!

Don't die!

It's not a bad wound.

He'll heal, but only you can make him happy!

You're leaving? What have I done?

No, baby, you mustn't. You mustn't.

Marius, what's going on? I'm scared.

Why won't you kiss me?

Yes, Father, why don't you kiss her?

This is a poor man's ballad!

Oh, Father.

Hold me tight.

Lyon is off. - What's up.

The Krauts were licked in the East and the Allies are landing.

We have a few days to switch sides.

What's that mean?

We have a few hours left to be heroes.

You still like it? - The 2nd half's a bit much.

Gavroche dies, Marius saves him.

Valjean saves Marius, Valjean saves Javert who kills himself.

A bit over the top.

Like us in the Resistance. - Wait, my contact's in Normandy.

Where you grew up!

What's one more coincidence?

Nice weather. - Good for us.

Good for the Krauts. Hi, kids.

You're late. Me, I like to eat on time.

Hi, precious.

Come and get it.

Hey, "Miss Perfume."

Want a drink, Milou?

I can't stand your perfume!

So stop wearing it or I'll start opening my mouth.

I've got things to say

that people would like to hear.

He's just in a bad mood.

Yes, I'm in a bad mood. Sit down. Stay for lunch.

A chandelier. - See that.

And the radio. We won the lottery!

What's this? - In case they land, we want to greet them well.

Sorry we're late, we had a family lunch.

So you see, it dragged on. Give it to him.

You saw the papers?

They'll land near Callais. I know they will.

What's wrong?

More bad news?

Good night. Get on home.

Listen to the radio tonight.

Something's bound to happen soon.

Something will definitely happen soon.

You'll see, something's going to happen.

I'm sure of it.

They'll land near Calais.

As you can hear, I'm singing. Everything is okay here.

I'll keep you posted every half hour.

The piegeon loft where I lived.

With pigeons? - Yeah, who crap on you.

It's Kraut heaven. - You lived here long?

Until 1920, when I realized my manager was stealing me blind.

As soon as the war is over, you'll meet my son.

He's exactly your age.

Now, that's a hell of a surprise! Gentlemen.

Have a drink. I'll be along.

Nothing's changed. Except for the the customers.

You want a drink?

Still have the boss's cider?

Marius! 2 ciders. - Say that again?

Marius! 2 ciders.

Your a real Marius? - Yes, sir.

Here's to you! - Thanks, sir.

This is my son. My pride. - My Gavroche!

Nothing. How about your brother?

He left. With my wife.

Got killed at Dunkirk. He fought a good war.

Do you wonder why I'm back here after 25 years?

You wanted to see me?

Come on.

They are in the Resistance.

We want a view over the sea.

Things are happening tonight.

See what's back there? Come look.

They come here for booze.

I can't stop all that drinking.

Coffee's ready, sir.

You live in the pigeon loft?

I like you more and more.

Hurry up. Everybody in the shelter. No laughing.

If Thenardier doesn't open the sewer door, Marius dies.

If Thenardier doesn't save Cosette from starvation

there's no Cosette, no Marius, and no love story.

Without Thenardier, no love story.

I say Thenardier's an angel! He's sent by the Lord.

He's horrible with his kids and all. You joking?

Not with his kids. He's great with his kids.

No wonder your wife left!

I'm not saying he isn't a scumbag.

I'm saying he's sent by God.

What a story. - You can't read between the lines.

I can't read? - They all praise Valjean.

He hasn't got a family or a wife who loves him.

So Thenardier's the good guy and Valjean is nothing?

Yeah. - Come on.

His wife loves him.

And Gavroche? - Gavroche is his son.

They are family. Family, love, country.

And what he did to Cosette?

He saved her! - What?

He saved her! - From what?

What's that, Mother? - Angels, children.

But real ones this time.

Gentlemen, there's no time to finish breakfast.

Jeannot.

Look at that.

Damn what'd we get into?

They'll cream us. - Damn right.

General, there are thousands of ships here.

Send us reinforcements or we'll be butchered.

Start shooting only when they get to the coast.

To the General Command.., quick, Quick.

This is madness. Total madness.

We're being butchered. To the General Command,

quick they're coming!

So? Long live France? - Long live France!

Marius! Buckets! Quick, make a chain.

Get down, kid.

Get down, Marius.

Protect the kid! Protect the kid!

So? - The bunker is mowing them down.

They can't land.

Get grenades. We'll blow it up.

Can I help? - Can you use it?

I can learn. - Smart move.

Let's hit the bunker.

What? - The bunker.

I'm going too. - Stay here.

We can't just let them wipe those kids out.

Marius and I know them. We deliver their food.

We'll blow them up. - I'm coming.

They don't know you. - Show me how.

Pull the pin. Count to 5. And blow the bunker up!

Count to 5. - To 5, but not too slow.

Gusty kids.

Stop! Stop! These are Guillaume's children.

They're seeking shelter with us. Open the door!

Damn! The kid's hit.

I'm going up.

What's with that asshole? He'll get us killed.

Stop! They'll shoot back.

General? The Americans have landed in Normandy.

The supreme battle has started.

After so much war, fury and pain this is the decisive moment

In Normandy?

Wasn't it to be Calais?

Who gives a damn! Normandy or Calais it's the same.

It's over. I'm happy the Jew's leaving.

The war is not over yet.

Not today or tomorrow. Not yet.

But he'll be leaving soon.

They didn't land just to visit the seaside resorts.

I'll go tell him.

Wait, wait. What's the rush?

Aren't you off to Switzerland to get money?

So what? - You never think, do you?

It bugs you to see him go, doesn't it? Bugs the hell outta you.

Well, it bugs the hell out of me to see him stay!

He doesn't care about you.

Take a look at yourself.

It bugs you to see him go. Bugs you a lot.

It bugs me to see him stay!

We're even! It bugs me to see him here, that Jew!

It's obvious you're no farmer.

Storms come and go as they wish

and here they were on the Germans' side.

But how could the situation change so suddenly?

I told you. The storm, the bad weather.

It's over. They control everything now. Everything.

What if I disguise myself?

All the Jew were exterminated. Even the ones in disguise.

They couldn't kill all the Jews!

If some are still alive, it's thanks to people like me.

You know the Americans. They'll try another landing.

With good weather, they'll win.

Hitler said that Germany's vital space is Europe.

He won't give up. He's a maniac.

A maniac! When he's real angry, he's been known to eat carpets.

I don't blame you, Ziman. I'm not jealous. Not jealous.

It's just, you know

I have images in my mind, like my wife...

It's been quite a while since she and I got cozy, you know,

because she gets it here!

But I have never slept with your wife.

Stop this, I didn't!

It doesn't bug me that you're a Jew. I'm not an anti-Semite.

I'm not an anti-Semite. I'm a good Christian!

But my wife's my wife. What can I say?

What can I say?

A letter for his daughter.

What else?

Are we really doing this?

Are we really?

It was here? - Someone must've taken the furniture.

I hope it was Ziman.

We're still a team, right.

No furniture left.

Look out, Miss, he's a punk.

Where's Marius?

Behind you.

I think he found himself a Cosette.

A nice one too.

What's your name? - Germaine.

Too bad. Remember, we're going to Paris soon.

Are we sticking together?

No. I won't forget your help. We're friends for life.

But now's the time to make it real big.

I hope so. For you. But your thing is not my thing.

Can't you see...

Excuse me, ma'am.

During the war, I moved things into that house.

Who took the furniture?

I don't know. I saw nothing. - We saw nothing.

We're not home all the time, peeping on the neighbors.

Thank you.

Why meet in Montmartre? - I want you

to take a look at a little apartment.

Overlooking the Sacre-Coeur? -Right.

See you tomorrow, Mr. Chief

of the new crime divison of the new government.

Is this a joke?

Is my war record a joke?

What's the flat like?

Teeny-tiny, or biggy-big? - Cutsy-cute.

My Salome. Just like Mommy and me

you must be disappointed that the Americans didn't land.

Don't lose hope, honey.

They'll soon be back, more numerous, stronger

and this time for good!

The good news is I beat my own record.

I walked 53 time back and forth in my cave!

Soon I'll be able to jump.

What now? - Ziman, Hitler... That's it. Hitler...

In London, England...He made a triumphant entrance

like Julius Caesar. In London! Hitler.

Take this letter and go to the boarding school.

Bring my girl back.

Don't you think we thought about that? We tried everything.

She was caught! Because of your letters.

A Jew, Salome.

She's registered under a Catholic name.

A Catholic name : Fortin.

Fortin. Salome Fortin. But the letters, Ziman.

The letters. Your daughter's dead!

You get it? The letters.

The letters. The letters.

Never forget that. It's the letters.

If this is such a good business, why are you selling?

It's too much for a woman.

My husband didn't make it back from the war.

You say it draws a Parisian crowd?

We're 20 minutes out of Paris.

The moment the sun comes up, they show up.

If you want, I could help you out for the first year.

Show you the ropes.

You like it? - If you like it, I like it.

Are your pals involved in this? -No.

That's over. No more pals, no more partners.

You think I'm a jerk?

I know what you do with him!

Go on, make a fool out of me if it makes you feel better.

You don't get up anymore?

What's going on in Paris?

The German are partying.

Champagne, woman. Our whores, our women.

And that's nothing.

They dropped two atom bombs.

One over New York, one over Los Angeles.

Over a million dead.

All the American Jews are being arrested and shot.

You might be the last living Jew!

The last one or one of the last.

So Mussolini, Hitler and the Emperor of Japan rule the world?

Hitler didn't give a damn about the neutrality of Belgium?

He just announced the he will invade Switzerland.

So, for your own good

if there's any money left in your account

better get it out now,

because Switzerland won't last long.

You're right.

Well, it's just that your friends offered me a job...

You call that a job? - Mr. Fortin! Where have you been?

Mrs. Bubois, my neighbor!

Here's Marius, who chooses easy money over hard work.

May I kiss you? - You bet.

You're coming back? - No. Just getting some stuff.

There's a letter. - For me?

Shall I read it? - Of course.

"Sir, I imagine you remember me.

I am Salome, whom you kindly brought to the boarding school.

With no news of my parents, I don't know who to write to.

I wonder if you know where they might be.

I'm very worried. And you?

How are you? I hope to see you

because I liked being with you."

I tired to find one like yours.

Where are we going? - I found a beach near Paris

where you can swim and dance all your life.

When will Mom and Dad join us?

You know, it takes months for prisoners to come back.

They're not dead? - I'm sure they aren't.

Why don't they write me? - You'll meet a great guy.

Guess what his name is? Marius.

Imagine that!

Is there a school there? - Yes.

It was destroyed during the bombings

so I'm helping them rebuild it.

Your holidays will be short.

You married? - Long ago and not for long.

Why? - Women don't like fighters.

Why? - Why? Because we lead a rather weird life.

We can't go out dancing.

We can't...See what I mean?

Grow up first.

Marius and Salome. Pretty, isn't it?

It's much prettier than "Marius and Cosette."

Let's stop here for a bit and pig out.

What's "pig out" - Pig out?

It's like having a good tuck in, stuffing you face.

Say, young lady, let's see what's in this magic basket.

If I teach you reading, would you teach me slang?

Gimme five. - Give you what?

To close a deal you slap fingers.

You'll speak slang before I can read.

As a kid, what did you learn first? Slang or French?

Straight to slang!

That's why you're a boxer? - No.

Because I was cold and hungry.

It's complicated.

It's easier to toss a lump of shit on a shingle

than in the hole in the gut. Go on. Say it if you can.

It's easier to toss a shump of lingle in the hole in the gut.

It's easier to toss a lump of shit on a shingle

Toss a lump of shit on a shingle than in the hole in the gut.

It all there?

It's not enough? Need more?

What did we make today?

Soup.

Want to kiss him good-bye?

"Don Quixote saw 30 or 40 windmills."

Comma. "Looking at his squire, he said: Colon.

Not so fast. - Mr. Henri!

The Mayor wants to speak with you.

It's important? - Seems so.

Do your homework.

Mr. Mayor, you're up early.

Can I have a coffee?

2 coffees! - I'll make it quick.

You've been here a year now, and you've been helping everybody.

So, everybody asked me to ask you

to take my place as Mayor.

Me? - I've lost interest in anything but fishing.

Me? - Mr. Henri, there's a lady here who wants to see you.

A lady? - She seems all shook up.

Excuse me. - There's no rush.

Take your time. I'll come by tonight for your answer.

Mrs. Ziman.

The Mother Superior gave me your address.

Is Salome here? - You bet. Come along.

Look.

She's studying.

What now? - Your friends.

What a day. - They're in trouble.

I think The Bill's wounded.

What's up? - The cops are after us.

Here? - No, we lost them in the forest.

Come hide in the cabins. Follow me.

Act like nothing's going on. Take care of Salome and her mom.

Hurry! It gets crowded at noon.

You sure they didn't tail you?

Where have I seen him? - They've got wounded people.

I've seen him before.

That's the car they used in Paris.

Surround the beach. Call for backup.

When did he stop writing? - At the end of the war.

He may be alive. - That's what Mr. Fortin says everyday.

Marius, get me a pan of hot water.

Sorry to leave you, Mrs. Ziman.

I thought you and Salome needed time alone.

Thank you, for Salome. - With her

I found a hell of a pal. And a hell of a teacher.

Can we order, ma'am? - Of course.

Mr. Ziman's not with you? - No. I was just telling Salome.

You'll tell me about it.

Sorry again, Mrs. Ziman.

Salome, show your mom around.

You two can settle in my room, okay?

Don't move. Nobody move!

Where are they?

What do you want? - Where are they?

What? - What's the water for?

I know you! - Well,

in my job, I get to know a lot of hoodlums.

Where are they?

What the hell is he doing? Go find out.

We must stop the hemorrhage.

Shit!

Tell me where you hid them and we'll plea bargain.

Did you plea bargain?

Which cabin are they in?

You know I'll never answer you.

You want to drink that? - A real obsession!

Nobody move, hands up!

Okay, okay.

Don't move.

Don't move. Get his gun.

Get his gun.

You don't have a chance.

What do you mean, no chance?

Your chance is our chance.

Because we're sticking together now.

Sticking together. - Stop!

Calm down. You have to get out of here.

With him! With him! With him!

Yes, with him.

We're in deep shit. - What's up?

We're splitting. With just about every cop in France on us.

I told them I didn't think we'd shake them.

Why did you come here?

Why? Why?

See what they did to my pal.

If he croaks, you croak.

Stick them in the cabins.

You stay. So long as you're alive, I'm alive.

Tell your guys to pull out. Go on, tell them.

Maybe we can make a deal? - The guillotine.

Is that your deal?

For the last time, tell them to pull out.

"No"? You said, "No"? What do you mean, "no"?

Tell them to pull out. Quick!

You said, "No"? Watch!

You still won't tell them?

Watch some more.

Watch. Your boss said "No"!

What are we going to do now? Guess it's your turn.

What do you think?

Tell your guys to pull out of the beach. Tell them.

I'll waste you!

Why did you save my life?

Why hunt miserable people down?

To each his own duty.

Because your duty is to hunt miserable people down

doesn't mean they can't save you

Why did you do it? Why?

Why did you do it?

So I'd see you in court.

I always served my country.

When you see a quiet place pull over. I need to pee.

Keep going. I'll catch up.

You have 30 seconds to split. That's all I can do for you.

I'll say you escaped. Let's all take a piss.

When the car leaves, mow him down.

I have to piss too.

You don't want me in court saying you tortured me.

I've always served my country

I served Marshall Petain. - Just as I said.

Then I joined the counterspying service.

I think you switched sides and joined the secret service

after drowning too many.

I changed sides when I felt the Marshall was wrong.

Let's go.

Go on. Go on, I'm coming.

That's not what the police say. - What do they say?

That you asked to stop to pee

and then attacked the commissioner.

When he realized my trial would be his trial, he shot himself.

I got the best lawyer in Paris.

My husband's best friend.

Any news of Mr. Ziman?

I went all the way to the Swiss border. No sign of him.

You know, so many funny things happened in the war.

He could have lost his memory. It happens.

Can Salome and I stay at your place?

Of course you can.

I just can't go home.

During all this time, where were you?

In Poland. - How'd you make it back?

I prayed. - Well, I better start praying too!

13 days and still no news from my farmer friends.

Tonight I'll try to go outside.

My diary tells of my 625 days here.

It's dedicated to my family

and to the farmers who risked so much for me.

Germany Surrenders

I'd like to speak...I'd like to call

the Holy Heart boarding school in Normandy.

"When men are ignorant and desperate," Comma.

"When women sell themselves for bread," Comma

"When children suffer," Comma.

"Les Miserables' come knocking at the door." Period.

"Victor Hugo was 60 when he finished 'Les Miserables'."

Period.

"He felt he could then die having fulfilled his duty. Period.

What can I get you?

Since we're quoting, let's remember Willa Cather's words.

"In the history of the world, only 2 or 3 stories, keep recurring.

This story is one of them and it has every alibi.

I did say, "every alibi."

How many Americans would have died had Henri Fortin

not taken the bunker?

How many women

do not mourn their husbands because Fortin saved them?

You say, Mr. Prosecutor

that he stole the Vichy government's payroll.

Did the Vichy government represent France?

Answer me. You have put on trial a man

who cannot read or write.

A sensible man who followed his common sense

and therefore was able to distinguish good from evil.

Does the law punish common sense? Since when?

Weren't the legislators...

...sensible?

Mr. Prosecutor, 45 years ago

Henri Fortin's father was on trial, as he is now.

He was sentenced to hard labor on appearances!

Will you convict his son on appearances too?

Will you sentence the Fortins from father to son?

Generation after generation? On the appearance of a crime?

The husband will choose the family home.

You must provide that home. And you, you must live in it.

So, Miss Salome Ziman do you take

Mr Marius Abelard as your lawful husband?

Listen, Salome, a wink won't do.

I do. - Good.

Mr Marius Abelard, do you take

Salome Ziman as your lawful wife? - I do.

No wink for me?

As they say in boxing: May the best person win!

You're gorgeous. I'm proud of you.

You'll come see me?

Promise you won't let me down? - I promise.

Without you, I wouldn't be here.

Me neither.

You don't seem happy, Ziman.

Happiness is not a Jewish thing.

Even today? - We're always a few sorrows ahead.

Victor Hugo said: "The best years of our lives

are yet to come."

"Buffalo Bill's son doesn't shoot as well as his dad."

Of course not!
