La Haine Page #4

Synopsis: The film follows three young men and their time spent in the French suburban "ghetto," over a span of twenty-four hours. Vinz, a Jew, Saïd, an Arab, and Hubert, a black boxer, have grown up in these French suburbs where high levels of diversity coupled with the racist and oppressive police force have raised tensions to a critical breaking point. During the riots that took place a night before, a police officer lost his handgun in the ensuing madness, only to leave it for Vinz to find. Now, with a newfound means to gain the respect he deserves, Vinz vows to kill a cop if his friend Abdel dies in the hospital, due the beating he received while in police custody.

So, the train stops and everyone

jumps out to sh*t

on the tracks.

l'd teased Grunwalski so much

that he went off on his own.

The train starts moving,

so everyone jumps on,

because it waits for nobody.

Grunwalski had a problem:

he'd gone behind a bush

and was still shitting.

So l see him come out

from behind the bush,

holding up his pants

with his hands.

He tries to catch up.

l hold out my hand,

but each time he reaches for it

he lets go of his pants

and they drop to his ankles.

He pulls them back up,

starts running again,

but they fall back down,

when he reaches out for me.

- Then what happened?

- Nothing.

Grunwalski...

froze to death.

Good day.

Why'd he tell us that?

l got the address. l'll call you.

Why'd he tell us that?

'Scuse me,

l'm just out of the hospital.

l haven't eaten for 2 days.

My child's hungry,

l need your spare change...

l wanna date with Mina!

l'll lasso her!

What d'you want?

My dad's in jail,

my mom's in jail,

my whole family is!

Get a job like everyone else!

What is this, Mardi Gras?

my welfare ran out.

lt's a block away.

ln 2 hours, they may be free.

Make the most of it.

How 'bout a bullet

A nice little bullet?

You gotta stop in time.

You need self-control.

Take it easy!

Don't get me aroused.

You look like a b*tch from behind!

A nice b*tch to suck me off!

Blow jobs!

B*tches to suck my dick!

That's the way.

Then you relax!

But it's hard to stop in time.

You gotta stay in control.

That's the trick.

He's cute.

What was the name?

- Are you cute?

- Yes! l'm cute!

Aren't they pretty?

Take a good look!

The little guy's excited.

Leave him alone!

lt's so easy to go too far!

But you mustn't!

Though you're dying to!

Right, you Arab sonofabitch?

OK, let's go.
