Dedicated to those
ghosts of Baudelaire -
:00:03
Michaux and Prevert who
still hover on this Earth...
:00:35
Gentlemen.
:00:38
I don't want to tire
you or myself -
:00:41
by going through
the many reasons -
:00:45
why life is impossible
in this part of the city.
:00:49
We all know the circumstances
forced on us in our early years:
:00:54
crowded homes,
ignorance and hunger.
:00:58
Not to mention stuffy buses -
:01:02
with irregular timetables.
:01:05
There are more hills here -
:01:08
than anywhere else
in the world!
:01:12
Loose-running kids and dogs -
:01:14
make it impossible
to move in the streets.
:01:16
Like lepers we hide
in the back alleys.
:01:21
We are humiliated
and spat on -
:01:25
as if we weren't free members
of a proud nation.
:01:30
Besides, an evil old woman
kicked me in shin once -
:01:34
only because I opened my
mouth in the wrong place.
:01:39
I'm not a dog.
:01:42
I know that you can also -
:01:45
respect yourselves slightly,
if necessary.
:01:48
That is why we are here
today: no more crying -
:01:52
it's time to leave.
The decision is not easy.
:01:57
Many of us have strong
emotional ties here.
