Calamari Union
:00:00 Dedicated to those
ghosts of Baudelaire -
:00:03 Michaux and Prevert who
still hover on this Earth...
:00:35 Gentlemen.
:00:38 I don't want to tire
you or myself -
:00:41 by going through
the many reasons -
:00:45 why life is impossible
in this part of the city.
:00:49 We all know the circumstances
forced on us in our early years:
:00:54 crowded homes,
ignorance and hunger.
:00:58 Not to mention stuffy buses -
:01:02 with irregular timetables.
:01:05 There are more hills here -
:01:08 than anywhere else
in the world!
:01:12 Loose-running kids and dogs -
:01:14 make it impossible
to move in the streets.
:01:16 Like lepers we hide
in the back alleys.
:01:21 We are humiliated
and spat on -
:01:25 as if we weren't free members
of a proud nation.
:01:30 Besides, an evil old woman
kicked me in shin once -
:01:34 only because I opened my
mouth in the wrong place.
:01:39 I'm not a dog.
:01:42 I know that you can also -
:01:45 respect yourselves slightly,
if necessary.
:01:48 That is why we are here
today: no more crying -
:01:52 it's time to leave.
The decision is not easy.
:01:57 Many of us have strong
emotional ties here.
