"Give me your book." "Come on, lie down." "Good night, Michel." " Good night, Bébert." " Night night." " Get under the covers." " And don't fart." " Stop." " Stop what?" "Good night, Hervé."

"Come, come, the armistice has just been signed." " What's happening?" " It has been signed." "Come on, drinks are on the house." "Take that and go do the announcement." "Have a drink first." "Vicar, the armistice has been signed." "This is victory." "Rosanna, Rosanna..." "The armistice has been signed." "Ma'am, Ma'am..." "The armistice has been signed!" "Let me do it, you're too excited." "Why are you crying?" "That's no time for tears." "Come and tell me what's wrong." "What's happened?" "Why are you crying?" "Go and sit down, it'll be alright." "Get ready to leave." "School is off for the day." "Thank you, Sir!" "Today is a Holiday." "Listen before leaving." "We've just sang together as we are very happy." "But I urge you to think, and you all know, because you have a father, or a brother who was involved in this war because there are hundreds of thousands of frenchmen who will never make it back home." "Many from this village, we will never see again so I ask you to have a thought for them." "There is also M. Bourlin, your teacher." "I wish he had been rapidly back teaching you." "But he was seriously wounded and will not be back for months." "So have a thought for him too." "You can leave now." "Long live France!" "Michelle!" "Michelle!" " Where are you going?" " To Paris, celebrate the armistice." " Goodbye." " See you soon." " Will you bring me something back?" " Like what?" "A little plane." "Careful, you rude rascal." "Hervé, you want a plane?" "Do you want an apple?" " What about you?" " I have plenty." "Shall I eat it?" "Thank you." " Bye bye." " Goodbye, Hervé." "Goodbye, Sir." "Thanks to our soldiers sacrifice, and before celebrating this victory owed to them, we shall have a thought for all of our children who were killed in action." "Before some questions on the previous Ethics... lesson," "I'll read you a text about Education," "I hope you'll make the best out of it." ""When in May," ""wheat has grow and the field looks like a meadow," ""it could be mown and fed to cattle" ""to everyone's avail." ""But this grass is like none other." ""The further in season, and from each stem" ""an ear full of wheat will grow" ""on which men will feed" ""or if not eaten, sold by the owner" ""for hard shiny cash." ""Well, you are like that growing ear of wheat." ""If you were used for labor, and for labor only," ""without being taught anything," ""you would only ever be a labourer, unable to read or count." ""Only worth the strength of your arms, your legs and your back."" "Jean-Louis, are you alright?" "Are you listening?" ""But if your intellect is developed through education," ""the value of your mind will add to the value of your body." ""You will be able to be a worker," ""but also a steward or a boss." ""The equal of a man from a richer background" ""you will be proud of your place in society" ""reached by bravery and intelligence." ""Can you try and understand your situation?" ""Your country and your family is providing you with the greatest tools" ""but you are the one who will use them." ""This is a sacrifice..."" "Be quiet!" ""This is a sacrifice..." ""And you're asked in exchange" ""good will and nothing more." ""Without it, you would be ungrateful." ""And you would be the only one" ""punished for this ingratitude." ""Today, you think lessons are boring." ""Learning about history and geography." ""Learning to count and to spell." ""You'd rather play heaven and hell," ""play truant, hunting for bird nests." ""Your teacher is strict," ""you hate being punished when lazy," ""of course." ""But take today this opportunity to learn," ""as it will not be given to you ever again." ""Soon, you will have to make your own living." ""Eating will mean working." ""If you daydreamed through school, you'll have bitter regrets." ""It will be too late for these though." ""You'll see your comrades go forward in life" ""whilst you languish behind." ""You'll be humiliated by their superiority." ""You may even have to beg them for work." ""They will be the ones giving you orders." ""And the ones with the bigger pays," ""whilst you survive on your unskilled wage." ""It will only be just" ""as they will be able to lead a farm or a workshop" ""and you barely manage being a worker." ""It will be just but it will make you suffer." ""If I had known, will you think then." ""To be one of them as well," ""you should have been a good pupil, working hard at school, and use properly" ""what your country and family had to offer."" " We're going to Paris." " We're going to Paris with Dad." "Your dad is nowhere near picking you up." "I don't care, I'm staying here." "We'll have fun anyway." "You'll be on your own at Mother Jeanne's." "Didn't you know they were going to Paris?" "I'll go when I'm a hairy soldier." "Your dad is no longer a soldier?" "No, but he is hairy like a monkey." "And what about your mother?" "Come quick, I'll throw." "We haven't won yet." "So Hervé, did you do well?" "Yes, I got a first in essay." "That's good to hear." "Show me your notebook." "I hope you had a good subject." "We had to tell about our best day of the summer." "What did you talk about?" "When we had that picnic with Mother Jeanne and Marcel." "Come with me." "You've worked well, I'll give you a book." "An award from school when I was about your age." "I love it very much, and re-read it many times." " What's it about?" " It's the story of a little boy... from a very modest background but who had success in his own life." " Is it sad?" " Not at all, all ends well." ""Night is generally my time for walking in London."" " Do you know where London is?" " In England." ""One night I had roamed into the City," ""and was walking slowly on in my usual way," ""musing upon a great many things," ""when I was arrested by an inquiry, the purport of which did not reach me," ""but which seemed to be addressed to myself," ""and was preferred in a soft sweet voice" ""that struck me very pleasantly." ""I turned hastily round and found at my elbow a pretty little girl," ""who begged to be directed to a certain street" ""at a considerable distance." "'It is a very long way from here,'" "'I know that, Sir,' she replied timidly." "'I am afraid it is a very long way, for I came from there to-night.'" "'Alone?" "' said I, in some surprise." "'Oh, yes, I don't mind that, 'but I am a little frightened now, for I had lost my road.'" ""It brought a tear into the child's clear eye and I..."" "I am not reading you the whole book."

"And what about you?" "You want me to give you one?" "I have 36." " Liar." " No, I've got many." "I see many girls." "At school, they're all my friends." " I have for 5 or 8." " They love you?" " I love girls." " Do you?" " Do you want one?" "I'll give you two." " A pretty one, please." "One is enough." "Are Bébert and Michel leaving tonight?" "They're taking the train." "For Paris." "They've packed their suitcases." "Lucky them." "I am gonna leave soon too." " Me, I don't know." " It doesn't matter." "Mine will come with a Deudion, a real nice car."

" No, it's too far." "You promised, Marguerite." "You know I've never been." "We'll come and get you if you want." " We'll have to ask Albert." " I'm sure we can make it happen." "Ask him and come spend a Sunday with us." " That would be nice." " I'll make a nice roast chicken." "We'll have some of your jam." " Do you still have some?" " Yes." " Of course, we kept some." " They'll remember you." " You've been so kind." " They've been as well." " The house will feel empty." " They've grown haven't they?" "It was a laugh, right?" " Did they take some toys?" " Little mementoes, yes." " They'll be back." " They were so sweet." "Here's the train." "It' time." "Bye bye." "Goodbye, Mother Jeanne." "Bye, Marguerite." "Try and come soon." " Are you happy with your new mum?" " I don't know her yet." " I've heard she's got a little girl." " Yes, Brigitte." "You'll have a friend to play with." "Come on, move..." " Hello, Sir." " Hello, Miss Marguerite." " How are you?" " Very good." "The house feels empty since Bébert and Michel have left." "I'm sure they've forgotten us already." "They just haven't got time to write." "When Hervé leaves, we'll be on our own." "Soon, you'll have Marguerite's little ones." "Look at my new suit." "It suits me?" "It's real nice." "It suits perfect." "Thank you." " Let me see." "Do you like it?" " Yes." "It's Hélène you need to thank." "She bought it for you." "Can you teach me how to play?" "You knew how earlier." "Now you don't anymore?" "Yes, but I never stop." "Move, you gonna lose points." "You're gonna teach me." "Sure." "Some is flying away." "It's all over me." "It looks like snow." "And it's summer." " There is not much left." " Some is on me." "We can go and get some more." " Your daughter is so kind." " Yes, she's a sweetheart." " I think Hervé likes her already." " Do you think so?" "I know him well." "I love the smell of your lime tree." "I am running out of it." "The tree is getting old." "That's a shame." " You're gonna come and get Hervé?" " Soon I hope." " Tell me he's not a bad kid." " He's sensitive and kind." "It will be tough to see him go." "He will forget about us." "Only a matter of time." "He's a child, that's normal." "You're having fun, my darling?" " You're not with Hervé?" " He's over there." "Can you put the cups on the table, please?" " Where is it?" " Outside." " How do you like your sister?" " She's cute, I like her." " And the missus?" " Not that much." "It must feel weird to sleep in a bed." "At first, one can't sleep." "Too soft or something." "Put your hat on, it's too hot." " I can't sleep." " How extraordinary." "Too soft, too warm." "Anyway..." " What about work?" " I got my job back." "I told you about setting up this thing." "We'll have to wait another 6 months for the space to be free." "But we'll get it." " And in the meantime?" " I took my job back in the workshop." " Can I help?" " Everything is ready." "Bring the cake and the jam if you want." "You brought the sun with you." "It's so hot!" " Do you want to wear it?" " Why not?" "I'd scare the birds in a field." "Here is some lime-flower tea." "Hervé!" "Marguerite!" "That's her disease." "Lime-flower tea." "And then she complains I snore at night." "Do you want a cup?" "Yes, I'll try it." " No snacks?" " There are some cakes." "Are you happy in your new suit?" " Yes." " Do you like it?" " Do you want a cake, Hervé?" " Yes, please." " Two?" " Just one." "Final answer." "There you are." "You're pretty." "What are you doing, Marguerite?" "Next time, we will take you to Paris." "It will be soon." "Hard to find a flat." "You're making your own jam?" "Fruits from our garden." " I will give some." " It's kind, thank you." " Are you bored, Brigitte?" " A little." "What's wrong?" "Come here." "Do you want to go and play?" "Later." "You don't like the countryside?" "It's different." "Why don't you play with Hervé?" "He'll show you his rabbits." "They're pretty ones." " Go on." " Come, I'll show you." " Come." " No." "Come on, Brigitte, go with Hervé." " They're so cute." " Here's Romeo and here's Juliette." " What are you doing?" " I'll put Romeo with the female." "Get in there!" "What will they do?" " Won't you be told off?" " I'll give you some babies." "She's sweet, don't you think?" "She's pretty for sure." " You look like you're in a bad mood." " I am not." "I'm sad because Hervé is leaving." "Do you think I don't feel the same?" "You think he'll get along with her?" "A child is always happy anyway." "Thank God for the little one, she's nice." "Very sweet." "Albert has been gone for a while." " Where?" " Looking for the little girl." "Do you know her?" " I only know she's very young."

"Come here, Magali." "Her parents dropped her on the platform and left her with the station master." " What's wrong?" " Your eyes hurt?" "Let me see." "She's got a falling tooth already." " What?" " Your tooth?" "Is it better?" "Show me the one that moves." " This one." " Don't touch it." "Is it moving a lot?" "An iron, a piece of string..." "Hop!" "Don't be shy." "Look at Mother Jeanne." "Aren't you tired?" "One is strong in the navy." "Come, I'll show you your room." "Go on, go with Hervé." " She's so young." " All her stuff is in there." " I'll get them ready." " I'll stay here." "Smoking my pipe peacefully." "Here's your room." "You'll sleep here, I'll leave you my bed." "I'll sleep in the big one." "Take your hat off, you'll be too hot." "Sit on the bed." " What we're gonna play?" " Hide and Seek, play tag..." "Let's have a snack, children." "Get on my laps." "Come." "Do like this." "How do you do this?" "You see you're ticklish." "It tickles here." "Try here." "Go on." " Is there a mirror here?" " Yes, what for?" " I need to make myself pretty" " Pretty?" "Come with me." "Get on the chair and look at yourself." "Do you think you're pretty?" " Yes." " I think so too." "Who do you live with?" "With Daddy only." " And your mum?" " She's dead." " Dead?" " Yes, there's only the two of us." " Only the two of you?" " Yes." "You liked being with Daddy every night?" " Are you happy?" " Yes, of course." "Go away!" "Go away, I said!" "Come over here and they'll go." " Can this one come?" " No, I'll tell you when." " Magali, look." " It can come now." "You see, I have one." "I had to run hard for it." "You know what this is?" "The Holy Virgin." "She did two miracles so they built a statue." " What are you doing, kids?" " We're waiting for the Holy Virgin." "Come for a walk with us then." "Come, Hervé." "Where are we going?" "On this map, Alsace-Lorraine still shows in white." "There are three Departements." " Moselle, chief town?" " Metz!" " Bas-Rhin?" " Strasbourg!" " Haut-Rhin?" " Colmar." "Hervé, show us on the map where are the three departments?" "Moselle." "Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin." "Marc and Philippe, take the map away." "Open your geography books, page 34:" "Colonial France." "Serge will read from here." ""Colonies and protectorates are great resources" ""for our commerce and industry." ""They provide raw material..."" "Quiet please!" ""France then in return" ""can bring them progress" ""and help the locals" ""by exposing them to the benefits of our civilisation."" "Jean, take over." ""France can be proud of the work" ""accomplished in Algeria and Tunisia..."" " Can I have a word?" " Yes, of course." "No bedlam, kids." "Sorry to disturb you, I'm coming to pick up Hervé." "His dad wants to take him back in Paris." "Really?" "I'll tell him to get ready." " Do you want to wait here?" " Yes, I'll wait." "Hervé, pack your stuff." "Your dad is waiting for you." " Why is he leaving?" " His dad is here to pick him up." "That's a shame." "He was nice with me." "He was a good friend." "You'll miss him?" "He'll back once in a while." "Right, Hervé?" "Yes, sometimes." " I'll write him a letter." " He'll like that." "You have your beret?" "I hope you will behave in Paris." "You need to focus a bit more." "You once had a first in essay, but most of the time, it's not very good." "You need to work more." "You remember what I told you?" "Those who don't work well at school..." "Go and say goodbye." "Say your goodbyes to your little friends." "Serge, go to my desk." "You may behave there." "And the others too will behave." "You'll be in charge of the class." "Hello, Magali." " What's happening?" " Hervé is going to Paris." " Say goodbye." " Bye, Magali." " He will take you in a nice car." " I don't wanna go." "Don't argue and don't be sad." " Thank you, Mr Testin." " Goodbye, Hervé." "You promise to make an effort at school?" "A little kiss?" "Bye, Magali." "Thank you, Mr Testin." "Everything will be fine." "Don't be sad." "You'll see, Paris is beautiful." " I'm leaving for Paris." " That's good." " Have a good trip." " Enjoy your meal!" "Two more burials today." "After this Great War, now the spanish flu." "Poor France..." "Wretched country." " Goodbye, Mr Saquin." " Have a good trip." "This Hervé, I'm happy to let him go." "As a choir boy, he was a real little devil!" "He broke so many candles!" "And I would get told off by the vicar." "Go away, young man!" " You're not at school?" " My dad came to pick me up." "So you're leaving for good?" "Don't be sad." "Your dad will be very happy to see you." "He'll also be a little scared." "And you'll be back." "My son-in-law will be happy to know you're well." "It's not the end of the world, you'll make new friends." "I don't care, I want to stay here." "Mother Jeanne will take you back for holidays." "Here, when my hare gives birth, I'll keep the foal for you." " For real?" " Yes." "Come on, scram." "Goodbye, Albert." "Sure you don't want a drink?" "I have very good cider." "OK then, I like cider." "Mother, pass me his socks." "I washed them last night, they're not dry yet." "I wanted..." "I wanted to pay you some of the money back." "I'll pay you the rest as soon as I can." "I understand." "I also wanted to give you a picture of Hervé." "I used to keep it in a locket, it's for you." "He was so cute." "How old was he?" "It was just before I brought him here." "Thank you." " What's this?" " A taxi." "Hello, my son." "Are you ready to go?" "I am here to pick you up." "Hervé, come change your clothes." "You see, all your stuff is ready." "I'll come for holidays." "I'll write, I'll be thinking about you." "You'll write often, right?" "Wait, let me undo this." "I hope you'll bring him back often." "Yes, but you should also come to see us in Paris." "I heard you were gonna get married." "No hurry, they need to get acquainted." "Dad is in no hurry." "But you are, that's normal." "Cheers." "Thank you." "Do you want some too?" "I put your shirt on top for tonight." " You'll send me postcards." " Yes, of the Eiffel Tower." "Go and put your suit." "You're not taking your beret?" "You want to eat something?" "Something to drink?" " Goodbye, Jeanne." " Goodbye." "Thank you once again." " You'll write?" " Of course." " Do you remember Paris?" " No." "You'll see, it's beautiful." "Translation:" "Colonel Gatito Timing:" "Corvusalbus, Besmel"
