| Quotes |
Le caïd:
I have a court order. This land has been given to the colonist Mr Guérini. Le père: But Kaid, this land belongs to my father and my ancestors. Le caïd: Do you have the deeds? Le père: What deeds? We have no documents. Le caïd: Without the deeds, I can't help you. You must leave. Le père: That's impossible. I was born here. My father was born here, like all my ancestors! My children too! Le caïd: You have three days to leave. Le père: If we leave, how would I feed my family? Le caïd: It's the law. I can't help it. [walks away] La mère: [agitatedly] Are they crazy? We have to leave our land based on what a piece of paper says? I'll die here and be buried here! [running towards departed policemen, shouting] La mère: It's not fair! You're committing a sin! May God curse you! May God curse you! May God curse you! See more » |
