"Silence, or I'll stop the session!" "Ladies and gentlemen, please!" "Mister" "Kodossou' why do you insist on playing savior?" "Why persist so hard in trying to pass bills that would allow white integration?" "Because my party feels that" "Europeans who have worked here for over five years should be allowed African nationality if they request it." "Moreover, they should have access to jobs other than menial ones." "Silence!" "Mr Kodossou'" "I have only one thing to say," "Africa for Africans!"

"On the other hand, we have job openings for... masons," "garbage collectors, road Workers. ." "And domestic employees." "But we have educations." "Garbage collectors and maids make a good living." "Yes, perhaps." "But: it's impossible." "Do you think your quotas might open up?" "In Africa we have highly specialized schools for engineering and teacher training." "Do you need us or not?"

"X have news for you." "I came home especially," "I wanted to tell you in person." "Olivier Morel has not been arrested." "Logically, this means he's alive and free." "Mr. Koclossou, what is the status on the new bill that would allow whites to request African nationality after five years?" "The bill is coming along." "According to a recent poll, 46% of our deputies are favorable." "This means we only need another 6% of voices and the bill passes."

"We'll kidnap the little girl." " Kidnap the girl?" " That's what I said." "Is there a problem?" "No." "But what will we ask for'?" "If he wants to see her alive..." "He must keep the affair quiet." "He'll make a declaration:" "he's still favorable to white integration" " it has to be credible - but after giving it thought, he has decided it's premature." "Thus the bill will be submitted at a later date." "Mr Yokossi, excellent idea." "This will give us time to eliminate him somehow." "And believe me, his Liberal African Party worft go far Mthout mm." "Where do I get off for the White City'?" "It's the next stop." " Thanks." " No problem." " Excuse me, do you speak French?" " A little." "I'm looking for a European who escaped from a transit center." "Pm sure you heard about hm he must be here" "I don't know." "Hello." "I'm looking for a friend who ran away from a transit center."

"You coulcfve gone with Grandma and Grandpa." "You too" "X have an important date thus afternoon" "Me too." "That's news" "What do you have that's so important?" "X have to watch my soap opera." "I'll pretend I didn't hear." "Mommy?" "Why don't X ever see Daddy?" "Generally speaking, divorced fathers rarely see their kids." "That's the way it is." "And on top of it, he's always traveling." "Then he could travel over here." "X made a drawing," "I can't even give it to him." "I think that..." "Let go of her!" "Come with me!" "This is unbelievable."
