:12:01
Of course.
Our homegrown revolutionary.
:12:04
The press is a nuisance,
but it exists.
:12:07
And I believe in cooperating
with what exists.
:12:12
I'm Denis Archer,
the governor's aide.
:12:15
How is it I haven't
seen you before?
:12:17
Maybe it's because you buy
your toothpaste at the wrong drugstore.
:12:21
What should I take that to mean?
:12:23
- I work at the Bon Marche drugstore.
- Oh.
:12:26
In that case,
I shall change my patronage.
:12:30
You're wondering
what I'm doing here, aren't you?
:12:33
- Well, uh-
- Well, I wasn't invited.
:12:36
Uh, David Boyeur
dared me to come.
:12:38
I don't like being dared.
:12:41
I see.
:12:43
- Next time I shall see that you're properly invited.
- [Chuckles]
:12:47
[Laughing]
:12:50
- The colonel's been
telling me about David Boyeur.
- Oh, has he?
:12:53
Yes. There's a man with real power.
:12:55
Notice the very special
treatment His Excellency's giving him.
:12:58
Strange. In all the years
I've lived on this island, I've never met him.
:13:01
Oh, I have.
He used to work in the kitchens...
:13:03
at the St. James Hotel
when we used to live there.
:13:05
And I was very,
very young.
:13:07
- He's gone far since then.
- Too far.
:13:10
- Why don't you take up Boyeur's challenge?
- What do you mean?
:13:12
With this new constitution,
Boyeur's going to try and capture...
:13:15
the legislature
at the next general election.
:13:18
Seems to me some of you planters
should go in for politics, and rather quickly.
:13:22
Fight him at the polls.
Stand for election.
:13:24
- Me?
- Yes. Why not you?
:13:26
The Fleury name means
a great deal on the island.
:13:28
Everyone respects your father,
even the West-
:13:31
You'd stand an excellent chance of winning.
:13:37
Do you often smoke these?
:13:39
Only on special occasions.
:13:41
They're Egyptian, aren't they?
:13:43
Yes, I had them made for me in Cairo.
They're very difficult to get here.
:13:47
My childhood wasn't
very much different...
:13:49
from any of the other children
who I grew up with.
:13:52
It was always the same story.
:13:54
Rum and ginger, please.
:13:57
No opportunity for anything.
No one to tell, pay any attention.
