:28:00
I half-feel like interfering,
:28:03
but it is none of my business,
it's their fruit.

:28:10
This one's almost
pure alcohol, I'll be tipsy.

:28:14
Anyway, half the people are stingy.
:28:18
They won't allow gleaning because
they don't feel like being nice.

:28:25
There's a lot left.
:28:26
The harvest is over now.
:28:29
Are these not edible?
:28:30
Edible, yes, but not good
for making candied fruits.

:28:34
Do you allow people to collect them?
:28:38
No. I'm not the owner, but up to now,
it's never been allowed.

:28:43
The harvest of the cabbages is over,
:28:46
only a few are left here and there.
:28:49
These cabbages can be gleaned
:28:52
with absolute impunity
:28:55
by gleaners from Avignon or around.
:28:58
Here are lovely tomatoes.
:29:00
The machine couldn't take
what's too low.

:29:03
All these tomatoes,
:29:05
which are just as red
as my bible, the penal code,

:29:10
all can be gleaned.
:29:12
And it's not me,
it's the penal code that says so,

:29:16
in article R-26.1 0. Here:
:29:20
gleaning is allowed
from sunup until sundown.

:29:25
First requirement.
:29:27
The second requirement
:29:29
is that gleaning
occurs after the harvest.

:29:32
And here, we can clearly see
the harvest is over.

:29:36
Paging through
an old law commentary

:29:39
I happened upon a decree,
:29:41
or rather an edict,
dated Nov. 2, 1 5 54

:29:46
which says
just the same as the law today.

:29:49
It allows the poor, the wretched,
:29:53
the deprived, to enter the fields
once harvesting is over.

:29:58
Old documents talk
of the poor, the destitute,
