"It all has to stop." "Enough." "Does she think change is possible or is it just a dream?" "Is there a movement to make this happen?" "I don't see anything happening in Brazil right now." "Does she feel anger?" "Or a sense of injustice because her profession isn't respected?" "You shouldn't ask that because she's just a maid." "Ask her." "She wants to know if you're angry because you're a maid." "No, I'm not angry." "Are these questions part of the job interview?" "I don't know either why she's asking this stuff." "She's wondering why you ask these questions." "Do they bother her?" "Do they bother you?" "A little." "I told you." "It's not right to ask." "If you want her to work for you."

"I'm not saying it's your fault." "But the injustice hits you in the gut." "She wants to know since we live in a democracy and stuff with inequalities, if you'd like a revolution?" "To change everything?" "That would be nice, right?" "How can you stand those shaky images?" "Who cares?" "It's what they say that's amazing." "At least buy a tripod." "Or get a cameraman." "Robert?" "Your brother-in-law?" "God help me." " You can't do this alone." " I'm fine alone." "It's just an anthropological film." "Not a documentary." "He's a great cameraman." "And he needs the work."

"Robert." "Please." "Coming." "It's a moment that interests me." "He's off on his own trip and she wants him to film you." "I wanted to know..." "Why don't I take the camera." "I can't focus if you..." "I can go back to Paris if you want." "You want that?" "Back to Paris?" "You know how to use this camera?" "The focus is here." "OK, take it." "But we're not here to film bird cages." "Do you mind if your employer helps with the dishes?" "Of course." "Ask the question." "He wants to know if it's a problem if your boss does the dishes?" "Yeah, it would disturb me." "It's not good." "For the boss to do the dishes." "OK, you were right." "I apologize." "I was going to tell you a colleague's story." "An employer who hit the maid." "I was shocked." "Thank God, it never happened to me." "This is too important!" "Let me be." "You're acting like a boss." "I have the right to..." "You're behaving like the bosses you criticize." "Are you here to help or to do your own thing?" "We're working together." "But I'm not your camera slave." "No, but you're my cameraman and I'd like to film the responses..." " Yes Ma'am." "Robert is comparing himself to a maid." " Sweet Jesus!" "Don't crack me up." " Don't repeat what I said." "Am I too ugly to be filmed?" "She says she is too ugly to be filmed?" "I've been filming you the whole time." "And I really want a nice image." "Asshole." " Guava or mango..." " We'll serve ourselves." "Perfect." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "I never know how to deal with that." "Do you think he's screwing her?" "That would be too much." "Totally unethical." "Exactly your subject." "Come on, Irène." "What about your sister?" "And under our roof." "He's shameless." "What are we going to do?" "Nothing." "At least tell him not to walk around naked." "Come on, Irène." "Like you always say; we're in Brazil."

"I live here with dignity." "Do you say you live here?" "I don't deny where I live." "You work in a house, you need to eat well." "Just because they eat butter doesn't mean I have to eat margarine." "It's not right." "We're not allowed to eat like them." "Because they eat steak, it's off-limits for us?" "Our food is separated." "Our plates are separated." "You want to stop?" "Would you like to stop?" "No." "Are these questions upsetting you?" "No." "No." "It's good to get it off my chest." "Good to let it out." "Alex, are you happy here?" " Are you happy living here?"
