1:11:01
I decided that the French
are wrong.

1:11:03
The others have an ideaI.
1:11:07
But not the French.
1:11:12
It's very important
to have an ideaI.

1:11:17
Against the Germans,
the French had an ideaI.

1:11:24
Against the AIgerians,
they don't.

1:11:29
They'II Iose the war.
1:11:31
You think so? I don't.
1:11:34
Yes, I do.
1:11:38
Today everyone hates the French.
1:11:45
I'm very proud to be French.
1:11:49
But I'm aIso
against nationaIism.

1:11:52
One defends ideas,
not territories.

1:11:56
I Iove France because
I Iove the fiIms of du BeIIay...

1:12:00
and Louis Aragon.
1:12:02
I Iove Germany
because I Iove Beethoven.

1:12:05
I don't Iove BarceIona
because of Spain...

1:12:07
but I Iike Spain
because BarceIona exists...

1:12:10
and America because
I Iike their cars.

1:12:15
I don't Iike Arabs because
I don't Iike deserts...

1:12:17
nor CoIoneI Lawrence...
1:12:19
nor the Mediterranean
or AIbert Camus.

1:12:23
No, I Iike Brittany.
And I hate the south.

1:12:29
Breton Iight is very soft...
1:12:32
not Iike in the south.
1:12:35
And the Arabs are Iazy.
1:12:39
But I have
nothing against them.

1:12:42
Or against the Chinese.
1:12:43
No, I'd Iike to ignore them.
1:12:47
But today it's terribIe.
1:12:50
If you caImIy do nothing...
1:12:53
you get heII
for doing nothing.

1:12:56
We do things
without conviction.
