1:21:00
But it is nothing
for us to be proud of.
1:21:04
Can we French be proud
1:21:07
of this instrument of torture,
1:21:09
this chopping block
1:21:12
that makes us more
an underdeveloped country
1:21:16
than the light of the world
we aspire to be!
1:21:22
Silence! Or I'll clear the court!
1:21:29
Your Honor,
1:21:31
I say, as did Pascal -
1:21:35
I remember that
thejudge was doodling,
1:21:40
and one of thejurists
had gone back to sleep.
1:21:44
I don't understand justice or judges!
1:21:47
Members of the jury,
1:21:49
today we are once again
1:21:51
in the shadow
of the prosecutor's guillotine.
1:21:56
Yet what does he want?
1:21:58
To have the executioner pick up
this man's head by the hair
1:22:03
and toss it into a basket?
1:22:05
Members of the jury,
1:22:07
refuse to be accomplices
to this crime
1:22:10
and the shame of it.
1:22:19
Do you have anything to say
on your own behalf?
1:22:49
Nothing.
1:22:51
The late hour reminded me
of a theater emptying.
1:22:56
Gino had been
condemned to death,
1:22:59
and I still couldn't believe it.
