We and the workers lived
like penned rabbits.

:23:06
But rabbits multiply.
:23:10
And in the mornings
I met the Algerian children

:23:13
and the mechanics from Simca.
:23:19
Right, so...
:23:21
I thought I passed them by,
:23:24
but we stopped in the same cafes.
:23:27
We were at the station together,
:23:29
had the same rain
and nearly the same work.

:23:35
That's where I understood
:23:37
the three basic inequalities
of capitalism

:23:41
and especially
of the Gaullist regime in France.

:23:45
No difference in intellectual
and manual work

:23:49
between town and country.
:23:51
I see those here all the time.
:23:55
Third, between farming and industry.
:23:58
That also pushed me
to study Marxism-Leninism.

:24:04
Seriously, if I were brave,
:24:07
I’d dynamite the Sorbonne,
the Louvre, the Comedie Francaise.

:24:11
Really?
:24:17
The revolution's no party.
:24:19
It's not made like a work of art.
:24:23
It can't be done
with elegance and peace of mind,

:24:27
with such tenderness and manners
:24:30
with reserve and generosity.
:24:33
Revolution is a violent uprising
:24:35
when one class overthrows another.
:24:39
I’m in the philosophy class.
:24:51
I know I’m cut off from the workers.
:24:54
After all, my family are bankers.
:24:57
I’ve always lived with them.
