"He was working in the railways, your husband?" " No." "At the post office." "I can't hear..." "Where was he working?" " At the post office." "Did he work for a long time at the post office?" " He was good, did it all;" "He even worked with registered mail and all." "Did he stay a long time at the post office?" " Yes." " How many years?" "50 years. - 50 years!" " He was twice decorated; once for 35 and 50 years served." "One for 35 and 50?" " Yes, yes." "At the post office it's the state that gives those decorations." "He was decorated?" " Yes, yes." " Why was he decorated?" "Because he worked well." " Because he worked at the same place for that long." "I still have lots of his diplomas." " That you've kept this long?" " Yes." "Fantastic." " We're gonna walk a little." "You had a little sister that was younger." " Younger?" " Your sister;" "Was she younger or older?" " She was older and I was the younger one." "What were you doing with her?" " After me there isn't anyone left." "And I'm the next one in line to go." "You seen the nice hat?" " That means she has ..." "She must be the new one." " She won't stay.." "Her type don't belong here." "What are you doing, changing everything?" " Putting the bed in the corner." "Can we help?" " Sure." "Where do we start?" "The bed." "Okay, by the bed." "Wait a minute, this is in the way." " Push, be careful." "It's jammed!" "Push, be careful, it's jammed against the wall;" "Push!" "Careful now!" "Jules, that's no way to behave!" "Now, what are you doing?" "What's this moving about;" "The rules are clear;" "The bed can't be moved." "The bed must be perpendicular to the wall." "Oh really?" " Really, and the bed will have to be put back in place." "From now on I will take matters into my own hands." "You saw what she told the nurse;" ""these are my things and I will take care of them! "" "Now watch this!" "Not bad." "That was not bad at all." "For you here it's the beginning of a new adventure." "Why did you choose to come here?" "We are very well treated." "Our chaplain is really outgoing." "It's just a shame that so few come and take part in what he organises." "Except for us they stay up in their rooms letting themself go;" "It's ridiculous." "Naturally also ..." "Check this out." "What manners!" " Unbelievably shameful." "Look it's the social assistant;" "he's a really good boy, really gentle." "Come here Jacques, you're going to see the creme of the crop." "Jules admit it, you're happy to have won in front of the new one." "Here, from the new girl." "I pass." "Pair of jacks." " Pair of queens." " Four aces." "Liar." " Me, a liar?" "!" "There, I told you he was a liar." "I don't play wih cheaters." "He loses then he stops playing - haha!" "It's 10 Madame we must get going." " Yes it's the rule of the house." "A round of drinks for the new girl." "Go ahead." " I pass." "Double jacks." " I pass." "Full house." "Oh my god." " I would've never thought of something like that coming from you." "Let's drink this;" "To the cheaters!" " To the cheaters!" "You're still here, you two." "Come on let's dance!" "No, that's not what I said." " You were really offensive." "We say what we think." " She can very well come back with us." "We are polite; she came with us and we'll wait for her." " Vulgar individual." " Drunkard!" "If you're so vile it's because of this ignoble individual." "The manager said it cannot go on like this." "What?" "!" "Whore!" "Sellout!" "Dry cunt!" "Monkey!" "Goddamn, goddamn it's always the same with them;" "Tell the manager Jules saluted her!" "God damnit, When is this gonna stop?" "!" "Chef give me another one please." "Come in at ten." "Is this a barackment or what?" "Good morning Mme. Manager." "Yes, Mme. Manager." "Thank you Mme. Manager;" "Bunch of bigots!" "They treat us like kids and I don't like this nurse" "My little Jules here, my little Jules there;" "Jules doesn't give a fuck..." "Shit!" "Flore, come sit here." "Goddamnit leave me the fuck alone, I don't want to go back in this box!" "Get the fuck off me." "I won't go back;" "Get the fuck off me." "I don't want to go back." "A certain Jules Klaas and other residents from this home are, according to witnesses, causing trouble and you know that noise and racket are forbidden after 22:00, you all know the penal code, and the good order of the city depends on it," "Mr. the mayor will understand me easily." "I think it's useless to prosecute the café owner but I came here to offer an efficient solution:" "A 21:30 curfew for this home." "The solution from Mr. Van Brome seems very positive." "This is no solution." "The problem will reappear elsewhere;" "We must understand their situation and trust them and only there can a solution arise." "Don't you think?" "Jacques, the coffee must be ready in the kitchen." "Bring also beer for those who wish." "So we all agree with Mr. Van Brome's solution." "From now on the curfew will be at 21:30." "Don't worry, everything will be alright;" "Nothing will happen." "Mr. Jacques will take care of things." " But the police came." "You know the police can't do much." " Be careful, the manager is coming." "This morning I received a visit from the police." "What happened yesterday is intolerable." "I don't want this to happen ever again." "This is why I've decided to close the doors at 21:30." "You understood very well, 21:30." "You only have yourselves to blame." "Thank you, it's going to be fun here." "That's what you said." "And now I want those who have been offensive to others to apologise right here." "It's very courageous to insult others when you're drunk, isn't it?" "You must go up, she knows it's you." "This joke's lasted long enough." "Jules." "Whores!" "Get this!" "Silence, silence I said." "Silence, silence." "Jules get out," "I said get out!" "Silence." "Everybody at his place." "Until he apologises, no dessert." "You stay here." "Now eat your desserts." "Eat your desserts." " It hurts my teeth." "It's not good for me, it makes me fat." "Go on, eat up!" " No chocolate for me." "The doctor said it was bad for her liver." "I said eat." " There's artificial coloring." "I don't like it." "It's bad for the stomach." "Until you've eaten your mousse you're forbidden from leaving your place." "Simone, this isn't reasonable." "Don't you realize that you're aggravating Jule's case?" "I have an idea;" "We'll keep one dessert for Jules." "He can eat in his room and we'll say nothing." "It's a fine idea, no?" "Okay I agree, you keep this one for Jules, while Margaret and I will split hers between the two of us." "Jacques!" "Jacques, being the manager of this home I try to maintain a certain spirit, and since I have known you I've noticed that you don't have this spirit." "That you did not understand or that you did not want to understand which would surprise me knowing how intelligent you are." "Your style can't be adapted to a home like this, you would be better off working with youths." "To understand the aged one must have a certain maturity..." "Of course you will be paid until the end of the month." "Jacques, I wish you good luck." "Jacques!" "I'll help you," "it's unbelievable what they've done." "Well, it's thoughtful." "Do you know what you're going to do?" " Take care of youths maybe." "I would like to work with youths, children." "You know, with those old folks, you have to excuse me if sometimes ..." " Of course." "Maybe we'll see each other again?" "Relax, Relax your muscles." "Relax, relax..." "Let go." "That's good, yes." "Relax yourself." " Okay." "Very good." "Your father's behaviour is a sad thing, we do all we can for them and they don't thank us." "It's a nice home." "Oh yes." "And what that's so terrible have they done?" "I don't dare tell you, it was too atrocious, it took my breath away, oh my God." "You have to know him." "He's so stubborn." "He must apologize to Miss De Mesmaeker and ..." "You're not ashamed?" " No." "I think he should feel an authority from your side too." "I can't handle everything up there." "Are you going to listen to us?" "It can't go on, at home you were unreasonable and here we do all we can for you and you're still difficult." "You know I haven't the space nor money to keep you at home." "Me neither." " And you don't listen to us." "You listen." "No." " You should listen to us." "What do you want?" "You're not being reasonable." "We do all we can for you Daddy." "I have good news, our friend Jules promised he'd be serious." "We forgave him and he's taken his place back amongst us." "But I remind our friend that if he does not keep his promise he will be kicked out immediately, and this is goes for everyone else;" "If you're unhappy or don't want to follow the rules you can go!" "There are enough old dying of hunger in the slums that would be happy to take your place here;" "And that's not all;" "Listen to this whining:" "Dear Annette, I realize now how good I had it when I was with you here at home." "Except on Sundays we always eat the same thing;" "The soup is always cold." "All we see is old people all day long;" "etc. etc. etc." "I skip the rest." "Please take this back to Mme Pulse." "She's exaggerating." "I think Mme Pulse is right." "It's a bit much that they read our mail." "It's disgusting." "It's a bit much to read the residents correspondence." "I said all the truth." "When you have complaints, come to me, you don't need to bother your children with such matters." "Talking of that, Jacques has had to leave us." "I took up the problems you were submitting to him usually and I solved them with our secretary through a card system." "He will explain to you our new rules." "Bon appetit!" "First; there are red cards, white cards, green cards and yellow cards." "First, I'll need volunteers to distribute the cards." "First the green card, I mean the yellow one." "Put your name and your room number or it if you are in your dormitory, your bed number." "and any visitor's time of arrival and departure." "To be able to leave after dinner..." "That makes it so we won't be able to have visitors." " I told you so, I told you so." "Good times, it's over... then shit!" "Yes, it's just the same for the library card but they've been raised by 5 to 2 Francs." "Sorry, sorry there's an error on the yellow card." "Ms Hernote made me notice something very judicious;" "on the yellow card you must sign on the right not on the left." "For the green card it's the same but you must put EV when going to the city, EK when you..." "My god." "My god, what is this?" "!" "Say something." " He's now the manager's good boy." "I'm going to a restaurant." "Come on we're going to the restaurant." "Where are Jules, Anna and Marguerite?" "I can't find them." " They might've went to another restaurant." "It's not recent enough?" "Look at this mess." "I think I found something." "So, Madam Pulse, how come we've found this in your room?" "That's not what you think, I found that on the tram as everyone was leaving the car," "I saw it on a seat." "So I told myself, better I pick it up so it would not fall into the wrong hands and tomorrow I'll ask around whose bag it is." "Yes, it's me that took it but only to bring it back to it's rightful owner." "Yes, this is one of the articles stolen from our store." "Come closer Madam Pulse." "Come on, closer." "Your thumbs please." "Next!" "Miss Peters!" "So you know nothing." "It's not smart risking a criminal record for so little." "Don't you think Madam Peters?" "So, about your friend Jules;" "you know him." "The manager told me he was one of your friends." "When was the last time that you saw him?" "You're lying when you say you paid for this tie." "Because you are an hypocrite and a liar." "You have to tell us where your accomplices are or you're obstructing justice." "So that's the police." "When someone's shy you shout at him and abuse him, but this tie was paid for with his own money." "You can ask around, they are all witnesses," "And one more thing, Mister!" ", we've worked all our life, may we not have a few things?" "!" "The true thieves are those at the pensions, it's not with this little pension that he can buy ties." "I say Good day!" "You were right, I can't get nothing out of them, I think I'll make a call to TV and radio." "It's the only solution." " Don't worry." "Ladies and gentlemen in a few minutes we present you with the famous John Ford movie Stagecoach starring John Wayne." "and we already wish you a very good evening." "But first the prosecutor of the King of Belgium has this announcement to make:" "Jules Klass." "Age 71." "Height 1 meter 70 is missing from his home the home in Sainte-Marguerite, Brussels." "He is average weight." "On the day of his disappearance he was wearing grey velvet pants, a white checked shirt, a green tie, a beige pullover and a Prince of Wales blazer." "He's known not to have full mental capabilities." "... Augustine." "Age 72, height 1m58, average weight, white hair." "Anyinformationaboutthese3persons must be communicated urgently to the police." "Put your signature." " What are you writing?" "They're going to be surprised." " Yes!" "Won't you stop that?" "!" "Victoire!" "These are from Jules." "Watch out for the manager!" " Yes, yes." "For the manager, eh?" "!" "Ohh, look at all these fancy pics!" "That's good for Jules." "He's in all the tricks, this one." "Cheers to Anna and Marguerite!" "Cheers... and Jefke your postcard;" "what's the postal code?" "Hello from Jules, Anna and Marguerite." " That's nice!" "Cheers!" " We never drank without them." "Why didn't you close the door?" "Come on dear." "And how are you feeling?" "Are you alright?" "Of course, a ray of sunshine and everyone's happy." "Oh, the window's open." "That's not right at all!" "I'm closing it." "Wait I'll help you." "Wait." "It will be easier." "Like this." "Are we better?" "Yes?" "Now we'll leave you." "We don't want to tire you." "Thank you." "Hello, Mr. commissioner?" "Yes." "I've got good news." "Yes..." "Perfect." "Hello Interpol?" "InthisnightIwant togetlost, the sound of the city makes me feel in love." "I don't need money to buy love, my pretty girlfriend takes me to the sky." "Underthegleamofthewhite moon the world becomes our love bed." "Let's go to the bar, lady joy needs to take her revenge." "Let's live this night, forget the day." "InthisnightIwant togetlost, the sound of the city makes me feel in love." "Idon'tneedmoneytobuylove, my pretty girlfriend lends me her eyes." "They're here!" "Augustine!" "Flore!" "Anna!" "Jules!" "Please no ladies, stand back." "Move along." "No, please, ladies." "By all means don't let anyone in." "Let us pass Mr. commissioner." " We can't get in." " Let us pass!" "You know what I just heard?" "They're going to put all three in an asylum." "Do you realize?" "!" "The mayor is here too." "It's no jail here." "This is outrageous." "Jules!" "Give us Jules back!" " Yes, give us Jules back!" "Everybody in your rooms." "I said everybody in your rooms!" "Disperse from all of this." "Come on evacuate." "Quickly." "Fire the manager!" "And now we've twiddled our thumbs enough." "Very well." "They're in for a surprise." "Let's split up." "For the telephone you first need to pay." " We've already paid enough!" "Hey over there that's enough!" "Hello sir?" "There are injuries." "Yes, lots of injuries." "Bye." "It's already full." " You'll wait for the second trip." " I'll wait." "But be quick." "OK It's lit." "Okay, spread it some more here." "Be careful." " I'll relieve you." "Leopold I'll relieve you." "Yes." "They don't know what they're gonna get." "That's some nice work!" "Come see." "There's black smoke coming out of the roof." "Come!" "Look!" "Look over there!" "And it's been going for awhile." "Oh my God, they're all going to burn!" "There's a fire!" "Powertotheelderly." "Jules is not mad." "We pay to stay." "Let's go!" "Quick!" "Here she comes." "Block the lift." "Go." " The elderly ..." " We can't see very well." " ... to the power." " Oh yes that's it." " We really see they're revolting." " I've heard the manager is new." "We've never seen this before." " They're completely crazy to make fire up there." "They're going to fall." "It's very dangerous isn't it?" " Yes." "Claire, the nurse, went into a rage because nobody would eat her chocolate mousse." "Nobody ate out of solidarity for Jules." "That's when the manager started bothering us, with cards." "White cards to go in, yellow cards to go out, green cards for visits..." " Regulations!" "So here's the result." " This summarizes everything." "No, not this." " It's not the time!" "What are we going to do?" " But madam we should call back the policemen, have they been informed?" "No, Yvonne." "Be reasonable." "We won't be able to understand each other this way." "Don't you trust me anymore?" "There is a minimum of respect one must have." "You don't realize all we do for you." "All the trouble we go through." " We pay for this!" "Go!" "Stop!" "I beg you, stop!" "Stop!" "We still need this for the gendarmes." " Make up your mind, go up or down?" "I'm telling you." " Take your responsibilities Mr. commissioner." "Don't waste our time." "Let's go." "Julesisn'tmad." "Cops, bastards!" " Careful, the police!" " Leave us, leave us!" "Come on leave us!" "Bunch of murderers!" " Move along." " Stop!" " Defend yourselves!" " No!" "Power to the elderly." "Jules is not mad." "Freedom." "Wepayto stayhere." "The misfortune which struck one of us so harshly gathers us all around her tomb." "The Lord called to His side our friend Coba, thus appeasing a long suffering." "Those who among you knew her well and to whom she sometimes confided in, know the extent of her courage." "No one ever heard her complain, nor did they hear her speak ill of someone else." "Alone and ruined after the death of her husband and children, she courageously went back to work, offering her life for peace and understanding between men." "What an example she was for every one of us." "Sometimes we complain about our loneliness or our little infirmities, let's then remember we're not alone to suffer and we all have our miseries." "Come on." "Stop thinking about it." "Yvonne, I've been watching you for weeks." "I've seen all the trouble you gave yourself day after day." "You have nothing to be ashamed of." "Look at me." "It's over." "You must stop thinking about that." "Regain your confidence." "You're an active woman." "The world needs people like us." "People who can command, who know what they want." "Trust me." "I know the life in a community is not always easy." "Let's help each other carry our burden, and forget our discord and pettiness." "Remember the example of our friend who, having lost her family, managed to make each of you a parent." "Today, as she is not with us anymore, let's gather in the same heart, and the same sorrow, to understand the message of her death." "Cora hated injustice, quarrel and discord." "Let's be worthy of her and strive to understand each other and trust those who lead us for our good." "We'll then avoid a lot of bad judgements and injustices." "Dear brothers and sisters, let's live in peace and love, and God will grant us true happiness." "Amen." "After having lived such distressing events, I must confess nobody had forecast the end of this story." "Indeed, things changed a lot at the Sainte-Marguerite Home." "Jacques, I'm going to tell you some amazing news." "The Home residents have decided to choose you as the new manager." "After informing the relevant authorities and having obtained their agreement, they asked me to be their spokeswoman and to tell you their desires." "We're all waiting for you impatiently and I already rejoice at the idea of your return." " It's Jacques!" " Are you alright?" " Did you have a good trip?" "Really, things have changed alot in our Home." "The residents unleash their imaginations, participate in the life of the Home, assemble in a co-management board moderated by the new one, Flore." "Or course they wish to have all their decisions ratified by the new manager." "Aren't they wonderful?" "By achieving their dream they also realize a bit of mine." "Remember, when we parted, I hardly dared dream of seeing you again." "And now, who knows, maybe..." "InthisnightIwant togetlost, the sound of the city makes me feel in love." "Underthegleamofthewhite moon the world becomes our love bed." "Let's go to the bar, lady joy needs to take her revenge." "In this night I want to get lost, the sound of the city makes me feel in love." "Idon'tneedmoneytobuylove, my pretty girlfriend lends me her eyes."
