1:18:00
Why?
1:18:07
Why did you choose
this place to meet?

1:18:09
This plantation used to
belong to my family.

1:18:12
It was the first on the island.
1:18:15
I wanted you to see it.
1:18:17
Your family?
I didn't know that.

1:18:22
It was destroyed during a slave uprising
in 1843, during the French rule.

1:18:28
I wonder what
could have caused it?

1:18:31
Any number of reasons.
1:18:33
A single insult, a whipping, a girl.
Who knows?

1:18:38
Do you know what happened
to the owners?

1:18:48
That was more than
a hundred years ago.

1:18:51
And, now you're here,
and I'm here.

1:19:09
Do you still feel that anyone whose skin
is different from yours is an enemy?

1:19:13
- Do you think I do?
- I don't know.

1:19:15
At carnival time,
my brother-in-law's car was damaged...

1:19:18
his telephone wires cut.
1:19:20
You hate Maxwell, don't you?
1:19:22
You think of him as an enemy.
1:19:23
I think of him as a snob,
as an arrogant plantation owner.

1:19:30
Is that the reason
why you almost didn't get here?

1:19:35
Or did they tell you
that you shouldn't be seen with me?

1:19:38
That I'm an upstart, a nobody
who's gotten control of the union.

1:19:42
That I'm a dangerous man
who should be watched carefully.

1:19:46
You don't suppose I'd listen to them?
I only believe in what I see and what I know.

1:19:50
Do you know what
they say about me?

1:19:52
Poor Mavis Norman,
always getting into trouble.

1:19:57
Always picking the wrong man.
