"Do not you see?" "When you have your heads crushed" "You will carry the consequences?" "No." "The Company will give a pension to your wives."

"And you can wait for payment two weeks?" "Impossible, the two rooms are occupied." "Maheu." "Well, what is new?" "Always the same" "Back to giving us a hard time because of the props." "And we have got a fine of three francs." "I know it's a risk" "But while timbering, the wagons are not filled." "Let them pay for the props." "That's what they want" "So the price will fall per wagon" "And always pay us nothing." "If they lower the price we will have trouble." "We cannot continue."

"When America stopped importing iron and bronze." "It hit our blast furnaces hard." "And since our factories are closing one after another" "It costs us a lot to get rid of our coal stocks." "And if we continue to sell despite the competition" "We have no choice but to lower costs" "And that is what workers do not want to understand." "Gregoire, I pray" "Take one of these crabs." "Gladly, my dear." "The worst thing is that lower costs" "Would mean we have to produce more." "But as we sell less coal" "We have no choice but to lower wages" "And of course those who have most workers are losing out." "We must lose more posts." "Yes?" "It's Mr. Dansaert, in the living room" "Bring him in." "Come in, come Dansaert." "Sorry." "What news?" "All is quiet" "I wanted to let you know" "That a delegation is coming and will arrive soon."

"Apparently you have rebelled." "But I am willing to talk to you." "Well." "What have you to say?" "Is that you?" "A worker who has always shown reason" "Montsou a veteran" "Whose family has worked in the mine for ages." "Do you lead the protest?" "Sir" "Because I am a quiet man" "I have been chosen by my companions." "I'm listening." "We just want justice" "We are tired of starving." "It's time to eat bread every day." "You know we cannot" "Accept the new payment system." "Do we blame the wrong prop?" "It's true."

"Just consider" "It was he who pushed you to create such a provident fund" "If it is a savings fund and not" "A weapon of war against us" "I do not deprecate its existence." "I notice that the Company" "Aims to control the fund carefully" "It is a new requirement." "Until now" "We have not claimed that control." "No." "What we want" "Is that the company stops trying to establish itself as our saviour" "And give us what we're due" "That the profits are distributed." "Is it normal to kill starving workers" "To save the dividend for some anonymous shareholders?" "Who are those who steal our bread?" "Who is going down the mine?" "Who's hungry?" "Who works?"

"Some day" "Workers will get bread every day." "Sir" "Is this the only answer you can give us?" "All right." "So" "I tell my colleagues you are rejecting our offer." "No, I do not reject anything." "I am an employee like you." "Here I have less power than the most humble laborer." "How is Jeanlin?" "Thank you, Sir." "Still in the hospital, but fine." "They have been able to save his leg." "It was a hard lesson" "But you're still defending bad timbering." "Consider, friends." "A strike is a disaster for everyone." "You shall die of hunger within a week" "What will you do then?" "I trust in your wisdom." "I am convinced" "That on Monday, at the latest" "You will be back again." "Although I support the strike" "We should have forced the company" "Without striking." "Now that we have started" "We cannot return and still obtain justice." "Rather die than say we have no reason." "Some may die." "I don't desire the death of anyone."

"You make me lose my hair" "You want me to give credit again." "You want to ruin me." "Do not you owe me enough?" "Not a potato" "Or a crust of bread." "Take a walk to Verdonck's shop" "Or Carouble's bakery" "Because now you buy there." "I'd like to see you rely on them!" "You, Levaque" "A night with me in return for what you want from the store?"

"Are we so cowardly" "To return now to the mine with our heads hung down" "For eternal misery to start again." "Better to die now" "Trying to destroy the tyranny of capitaism that starves us." "We cannot accept that way of living." "We need not be responsible for the calamities of the crisis." "We are not responsible" "This competition, reduction in costs." "It is not fair." "And since we are forced" "We have to seek justice." "Yes." "Justice!" "Justice!" "Starting tomorrow, go to the mines" "And we'll bring out the traitors that are working." "We must show the Company" "We all agree" "And we prefer to die rather than surrender." "And if there are informers among us" "Comrades, go carefully because they will know about it."

"Only traitors!" "We are with you." "They sent me to tell you." "But we cannot stop the fires." "Or stop the water pumps." "If drivers have to go on strike."

"They say they are briniging workers from Belgium." "If true, we are lost." "Belgian?" "They would not dare." "If the Belgians work" "And the mine is producung coal." "We cannot do anything" "The army will protect them." "To think that foreigners will take our place" "Breaks my heart." "I fear we are lost" "We'll have to give in." "What are you saying?" "Are you the one who says that?" "Do not ever say that" "You hear." "We have suffered for two months" "My children have fallen ill" "And all for nothing" "To return to work is injustice."

"The Belgians have arrived." "They start work at Voreux in the morning." "Yes, they came this evening." "Hopefully no more dead." "If you are determined this will end in a bloodbath." "You'll see, I was right." "As long as you realise that the strike is over" "We have accepted that." "But one gets drunk" "And starts to wait for something tp happen" "When everything goes wrong forget that it was all expected." "So if you think you lost" "Why do not you go away." "Because of your comrades?" "Everyone has their ideas" "I still think that a little more sacrifice" "Our bodies hungry will best serve the cause" "Is that your whole policy?" "If a soldier could put a bullet in my heart" "I would be happy to end that way." "Hear what I'm reading." "Two hatters in Marseilles" "Have won the jackpot a hundred thousand francs." "And they said" "We will buy shares and live off the income." "There" "There you have French workers?" "Unearthing a treasure for themselves." "I lack the courage to restore to the poor" "The money I sent you for luck." "You will never be worthy of being happy" "Long as you have something which I detest." "You cry against the rich while you are poor" "But the hatred of bourgeois is only you" "You envy the bourgeois." "I hope the day when you are poor and downtrodden" "And lying in the mud." "Someone will come to destroy the race of egoists." "Look at my hands" "If my hands could" "They would take the land so" "And would shake it so it shattered" "So that you sink under the rubble."

"Do not talk about it" "What do we do now" "We have nothing." "What will become of us?" "This house is theirs." "We ate bread but we were united." "When there is no hope the joy of living is gone."

"No I do not reproach you" "But if I were you" "I would die of shame" "For having done so much evil to my comrades." "My father is dead and it's your fault." "Are you happy?" "This strike has been for nothing." "We start work in the morning, nothing has changed!" "The old society no longer exists." "A new world is born" "But inequalities do not disappear" "People will remain smarter than others" "Who will live at the expense of the weak." "This has no solution." "What are you doing?" "I am returning to work at the mine." "If mum does not want my money I'll go back with Chaval." "I can not stand to do nothing" "And see how people starve." "I beg you, let me." "Go with you." "You cannot do that." "Yes, I'll walk with you." "Come, get dressed." "Where are you going?" "Have not you gone?" "Back to the mine." "Go home." "I command you, understand?" "Do not judge me."

"Can not we try getting out through the passages?" "Via the passages!" "Passages!" "Go see the passages,  They have collapsed!" "This is a trap." "There are two dead guys." "I could take Gabriel's lamp." "See?" "Since you're so clever" "Try getting back to the top" "If you can swim, go." "Our only chance is to go out via Requillart" "Yes, what about her." "Mum!" "Mum!"

"No!" "No!" "No!" "The flame is going out." "Outside it will be fine." "What fools we were for waiting." "You wanted to" "But I wouldn't." "Do you remember those nights at home" "When we slept in the same room?" "We listened to each other breathing" "We wanted to." "Do you remember the day you gave me a slap?" "I wanted to." "But I tried not to think of you." "I thought, that's it." "But I knew we'd end up together." "Just needed a hand." "Just nothing at all." "Just a little happiness to start all over again." "So" "This time you will stay with me?" "Yes" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "I'm happy." "Is this their home." "Come Cecile." "No one in." "What a shame." "Sir, Madam" "Are looking for the neighbour?" "She has gone to Requillart." "If you want I have the key." "The old man is inside." "Thank you, Madam." "Good morning, good man." "Be careful, very polite." "He seems to have something broken in the brain." "How are you, good man?" "Are you cold?" "Should I make an infusion?" "Take them, grandfather, good shoes for the winter." "No thanks from him."

"It is true that Ithreatened to kill" "The first of us to come down the mine" "And that means." "I would have to kill myself, right?" "But I have to look after the children and the old." "How is the old man?" "Well." "But his brain is no longer working." "He was not convicted because of that." "They wanted to take him to the madhouse, but I did not want that." "He is not a bad man." "Anyway I can withdraw his pension." "What of Jeanlin?" "He is working." "Gets twenty cents." "With the thirty I get that makes fifty." "If we weren't only six, we would not have enough to eat." "Maxime now devours everthing." "It's only for four or five years" "Until Leonore and Henri can work." "Are they well?" "Yes." "Now it's up to them." "We got them into this" "Now it's up to them." "Come!" "We have to go!" "Coming!" "So you're leaving." "Yes, I am going." "You're right." "Best to be somewhere else." "I'm glad I saw you." "At least I know I have nothing against you." "One time I was resentful of you, so many dead." "One thinks, you know?" "But I know that after all its not your fault" "You are not responsible" "Many things have been said about me!" "They said that I slept with you." "My God!" "If I had been younger, maybe." "Anyway, better not to have happened." "Or I would be sorry." "It is true, we would be sorry."
