:25:12
The modern world has spawned
:25:17
a new form of fascism:
:25:20
The fascism
of monopoly distribution.

:25:23
These monopolies, in democracies
like the US or France...

:25:27
which have always condemned
monopolies...

:25:31
In France, we guillotined a king
because he monopolized power.

:25:36
But we don't give a damn
about supermarket kings

:25:39
like Carrefour, Auchan, etc.
:25:41
But why not exploit us?
:25:43
The government does nothing.
No laws.

:25:47
With a monopoly on distribution,
what's bound to happen?

:25:51
They turn to the winegrower:
"Get lost with your quality wines."

:25:55
I want 1, 2 million bottles.
All the same.

:26:09
Yeah, Magrez.
I work on all his properties.

:26:14
He's a force of nature.
:26:16
He pours his energy
:26:21
into everything.
:26:22
He created William Pitters:
A huge success, as everyone knows.

:26:26
And now he's interested in wine.
He's headed straight for Aniane.

:26:30
But not the same forest
Mondavi wanted.

:26:33
People often ask me:
:26:35
"Is Depardieu taking up
the Mondavi project?"

:26:44
The people of Aniane reacted
:26:50
against
the globalization of wine.

:26:54
That's all I understood.
I read it in the papers.

:26:58
I don't really want to know more.
