:14:02
That's when I began organizing.
:14:04
One of the most important fights
is against tradition.
:14:07
This island's shackled with traditions.
:14:09
- Would you agree with that, Mr. Fleury?
- What?
:14:13
Mr. Boyeur here says he thinks
the island is bound with tradition.
:14:17
What would Mr. Boyeur
have us do? Forget them?
:14:20
Mr. Fleury speaks as if traditions
belong only to him. We have ours too.
:14:24
I'd be the last to deny him his traditions.
:14:27
Which ones, Mr. Fleury?
:14:29
The ones we got
on the slave ships?
:14:31
Or in the cane fields
working like beasts?
:14:33
Or the ones we have now-
the ones we are making every day...
:14:36
despite the slave ships
and the cane fields.
:14:38
No, Mr. Bradshaw, we don't intend
to live the way our fathers did.
:14:42
Your father,
if I remember correctly...
:14:44
worked on my father's plantation.
:14:46
- Till the day he died.
- He was well taken care of-
:14:48
whether he was sick or not,
whether he worked or not.
:14:51
That was charity, Mr. Fleury.
:14:52
What we want is equality.
:14:55
What I want is a drink.
How about you, Maxwell?
:14:58
No, I won't have one.
Uh, this- this headache.
:15:01
- Do you mind if we go?
- Now? But we've only just arrived.
:15:04
We're all going down
to the club later.
:15:06
I told Sylvia
I wasn't up to this party.
:15:08
We can be social some other time.
Will you excuse us?
:15:11
Mavis, Mr. Bradshaw, Colonel.
:15:18
It's good to see you, David Boyeur.
:15:21
It's nice seeing you again, Miss Norman.
:15:23
- It's been a long time.
- Yes.
:15:26
As a matter of fact,
you were 12 years old at the time.
:15:28
It was a party given for the children
out at St. James lawn.
:15:31
- And you won a prize.
- Oh, I did? What for?
:15:34
The obstacle race.
:15:36
I haven't been much
of a prizewinner since.
:15:39
As a matter of fact, I remember
watching you from the kitchen window.
:15:43
It wasn't much of a prize.
Lamb's tales from Shakespeare.
:15:48
You've won bigger.
:15:50
Perhaps.
:15:53
Oh, excuse me.
Just one more question, Mr. Boyeur.
:15:57
What would you say
is the most important problem on the island?
