:13:01
Oh, I have.
He used to work in the kitchens...
:13:03
at the St. James Hotel
when we used to live there.
:13:05
And I was very,
very young.
:13:07
- He's gone far since then.
- Too far.
:13:10
- Why don't you take up Boyeur's challenge?
- What do you mean?
:13:12
With this new constitution,
Boyeur's going to try and capture...
:13:15
the legislature
at the next general election.
:13:18
Seems to me some of you planters
should go in for politics, and rather quickly.
:13:22
Fight him at the polls.
Stand for election.
:13:24
- Me?
- Yes. Why not you?
:13:26
The Fleury name means
a great deal on the island.
:13:28
Everyone respects your father,
even the West-
:13:31
You'd stand an excellent chance of winning.
:13:37
Do you often smoke these?
:13:39
Only on special occasions.
:13:41
They're Egyptian, aren't they?
:13:43
Yes, I had them made for me in Cairo.
They're very difficult to get here.
:13:47
My childhood wasn't
very much different...
:13:49
from any of the other children
who I grew up with.
:13:52
It was always the same story.
:13:54
Rum and ginger, please.
:13:57
No opportunity for anything.
No one to tell, pay any attention.
: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.
