:19:05
Why did you choose
this place to meet?
:19:08
This plantation used to
belong to my family.
:19:11
It was the first on the island.
:19:14
I wanted you to see it.
:19:16
Your family?
I didn't know that.
:19:21
It was destroyed during a slave uprising
in 1843, during the French rule.
:19:27
I wonder what
could have caused it?
:19:30
Any number of reasons.
:19:32
A single insult, a whipping, a girl.
Who knows?
:19:37
Do you know what happened
to the owners?
:19:47
That was more than
a hundred years ago.
:19:50
And, now you're here,
and I'm here.
:20:08
Do you still feel that anyone whose skin
is different from yours is an enemy?
:20:12
- Do you think I do?
- I don't know.
:20:14
At carnival time,
my brother-in-law's car was damaged...
:20:17
his telephone wires cut.
:20:19
You hate Maxwell, don't you?
:20:21
You think of him as an enemy.
:20:22
I think of him as a snob,
as an arrogant plantation owner.
:20:29
Is that the reason
why you almost didn't get here?
:20:33
Or did they tell you
that you shouldn't be seen with me?
:20:37
That I'm an upstart, a nobody
who's gotten control of the union.
:20:41
That I'm a dangerous man
who should be watched carefully.
:20:45
You don't suppose I'd listen to them?
I only believe in what I see and what I know.
:20:49
Do you know what
they say about me?
:20:51
Poor Mavis Norman,
always getting into trouble.
:20:56
Always picking the wrong man.
