You'll follow me soon

No one will remember you, your

house will be razed to the ground

Show the people my head,

it's worth it

lt's over, Maxime, our victory is

total, and the people let it happen

You must accept the dictatorship

now

lt seems to me...

...that all l've believed in, all l've

lived for, has collapsed for ever

l don't understand

The Revolution...

- lt's taken a wrong turning

- How can you say that?

l don't know what l'm saying

You see now that a dictatorship

has become a necessity

The nation can't govern itself

Democracy is only an illusion

- l'm crazy

- No, just desperate

- So blow your brains out

- Good idea

lt would end my troubles

l just want to sleep

Sleep...

Don't wake me when you leave

My little brother has learned

something for you

''Article One:
all men...

''...are born and shall remain

free and equal...

''...before the law

''Social distinctions can only be

based on the common ground

''Article Two:

''The goal of all political associations

is to safeguard...

''...man's inviolable rights

''Article Three:

''The concept of all sovereignty

must emerge from the people

''No group or individual may rule...

...without the express consent

of the people

''Article Four:

''Liberty is the right to do anything

not harmful to your fellow men

''Thus man's freedom to exercise

his natural rights has no limits...

''...beyond those that ensure the same

rights to all other members of society

''Only the law can set such limits''
