Enjoy yourself;

It's much later

than you think.

To Janine...

MONEY MONEY MONEY

in the history of cinema...

During its numerous

interruptions...

...the defense has maintained...

...by means of absurd

and deceptive argument...

...that this case,

being tried under criminal law...

...is actually a political trial!

Gentlemen of the jury,

make no mistake!

These five men are criminals.

I use the term advisedly.

These five common

criminals have used...

...their fertile imaginations

in the cause of Evil.

They have only utilized

political unrest...

...to screen

their sinister activities.

Look into their eyes,

try to detect...

...the faintest glimmer,

the least whiff...

...of a political ideal or thought!

I ask you, Your Honor...

I ask you, the jury...

I ask you, the people...

...what is the common denominator

of all their criminal acts?

Money...

...nothing but money!

Or, in the language

of these gentlemen...

"loot. "

As for politics,

they couldn't care less!

Moreover, psychiatrists

have found...

...that the IQ of

these five specimens...

...is woefully below average.

The medical report

on Simon, for example...

...states that he displays

cyclical symptoms...

...of neuroses ranging from

hysterical depression...

...to acute paranoia.

I will cite just one fact...

...about this individual,

this Simon...

...that fact concerns

his activities...

...near an automobile

assembly plant, in 1961.

Simon Duroc and his friends...

...stole 8,523 tires

in 11 months!

It was his first conviction...

three years in prison.

From then on,

he was lost to society.

WE GIVE AWAY APPLES

- Fill her up, sir?

- 25 francs' worth.

There you are, sir!

Clean your windshield?

Calling Fox Bravo Hotel,

Golf Romeo.

This is T6 Juliet Papa, over.

If you read me,

make a 180-degree turn and land.

We know you are

transporting weapons.

Fox Bravo Hotel, Golf Romeo,

do you read me?

Fill her up, sir?

Fill her up.

There you are, sir!

Clean your windshield?

Hey, my money!

I'm being robbed!

My money!

Thus was born the team

of Jacques and Charlot.

From 1960 to 1965,

they made the headlines regularly.

From 1965 to 1970,

they took a vacation... in prison.

But we have

no details about that.

With Sabena,

you're already there...

Come on, over there!

Been to school?

Can you read?

Read that!

Did you stop?

- Why not?

- I didn't stop before...

I stopped after!

I didn't see it!

My ear!

Are you hurt?

I'll take you to the hospital.

I'll hospitalize you!

Your car okay?

Take me to the airport!

The airport!

- The hospital?

- Take me to the airport!

- The hospital?

- The airport!

Open the door!

Climb in!

We going or not?

Let's go!

Is this your car?

Are you deaf?

- You keep saying "Eh?"

- Louder! I can't hear.

Is this your car?

Yes. Why?

Where's the door key?

The key?

I lost it.

- What're you doing?

- My eyes hurt.

Well done!

Look, we've got

to catch a plane!

Car papers.

License and registration.

This is a stolen car.

A stolen car?

- Impossible!

- It's a stolen car!

Wait a minute!

Look, I don't know this man.

I just met him...

Open the door.

Can't you open this door?

I've never met him!

- Do you know me?

- I don't know him.

Tell them you don't know me!

I don't know him.

Is this your car?

No!

I had an accident

two miles from here.

This gentleman...

you moron!

Wait a minute.

My car's a wreck!

You have to come with me.

This is a stolen car.

What the hell do I care?

It's not my fault!

I'm going to miss my plane!

You can't take me in!

I have to be in Paris

in four hours!

You can take a later plane.

Say something!

You got me into this!

- I didn't steal the car.

- What the hell do I care!

Tell them what happened!

I found the car

and I don't know him.

You can explain at the station.

- Do you understand?

- Yes, I do...

- I've got to get to Paris.

- As soon as we check your story...

Just routine...

a formality.

Then you can go.

"Lino Massaro,

head of a gang of art-forgers. "

I don't know him!

So you don't know each other?

I just stole the car!

Lino Massaro got five years...

...so did Aldo Maccione,

who couldn't explain...

...that the car and the paintings

were two different matters.

So that you'll understand,

I'll describe in detail...

...what these men did after prison.

And I say, today, why not us?

PROSTITUTES OF THE WORLD, UNITE

The fact that so many of you

answered our call...

...shows you feel

the old order is finished.

We will not be

the last French colony!

No more secrecy,

no more ghetto.

Come out in broad daylight!

We took to the streets first,

The sidewalks belong to us!

What would men be without us?

Nothing!

We are not their property!

We are the hub

of a huge industry...

...which brings in billions.

We will no longer be exploited.

Prostitution is a factory

that we can manage by ourselves...

...since we are the tools!

We are thousands

gathered here today.

Tomorrow, together...

...we can be millions!

No more bosses!

No more exploitation by men!

I do not wave the red flag

of Communism...

...nor the black flag of anarchy.

I wave the pink flag of love...

...and of liberty!

We accept our duties...

...but we want our rights

to be recognized!

And we will win.

We'll win by proving that

prostitution is a public service.

I'll go even further.

We want to be declared...

...a public utility!

For our protection...

...for social security benefits,

for retirement pensions...

...for the recognition of our rights

and against all the injustices...

I hereby proclaim

a general strike of all prostitutes!

For the liberty of prostitution!

What style!

You were sensational...

...brilliant!

I didn't know

you could talk like that.

You surprised me.

You should be an actress,

not a whore.

I never thought of it.

Don't be mean.

I'm not. I meant it!

What you don't get is

that it's not an act, it's for real.

C'mon, it looked like

a church social!

You were all enjoying it.

Sure, but it's still serious.

You'll have to explain it to me...

...because I still don't get it.

- What?

- All that!

What are they after?

What are you after?

Can't you see

that pimps are finished?

So that's it!

Look at what's happening

all around you.

Times have changed.

You, with your pinstriped suit,

the Mercedes...

...him with his cap.

I tell you, you're obsolete.

I'm obsolete?

Let me get it straight.

Today the workers

fire the bosses?

You've got it!

That's just about it.

I'll never fire you, boss.

You spoke of self-management.

- That's what I said.

- All right, say I accept it...

...even in the whorehouses.

What then?

But it means

there are no more bosses!

- Can't you understand?

- Nicole, you of all people...

...you can't say I'm a boss.

Never, to anyone!

Aldo, do I treat you

like a boss?

No, boss!

You asked for it!

Be serious for two minutes.

What about us?

You girls have had

some rough times.

That's right.
