The women here have being chosen for a good reason.

Are you okey? - Fine, no one wants me.

I must phone my daughter.

So what if we did. You married but she's not here.

Maybe you won't see her again. Maybe you will, but maybe you won't.

Today's today. Not yesterday. The Jews and Moses and all. I don't care.

Everyone is going to die. I might even die tomorrow.

All I want is time without borders.

Maybe we could... It's all here in the air.

We don't need any...

I mean, if we all had to live like this all the time we'd...

I didn't have any of it... May be you did.

Fine but I'm just a regular jerk.

You could be dead. But your alive.

Your here, you jerk. And my husband the other jerk likes you and is jealous.

And your here and I'm still a woman. Over here.

That's all. All I wasn't is for this to go away, fast.

Well spend the nigh here to avoid any suspicion.

... then I'll try to get you out of here.

Who are you? - Not one of them.

Children must stay with their mothers.

Men must disband behind the building to the right.

...on earth as is in heaven.

Give us our daily bread.

And forgive our trespasses..

... and forgive those who trespass against us.

You! Say the prayer alone! - What do you mean?

We where told you where hiding a Jewish girl.

On my holy world, I swear that there isn't a Jewish girl here.

Say the prayer alone.

Thou farther who art in heaven. Hallow be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us our daily bread and forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Deliver us from evil. Amen.

What this? an inn?

I'm tired.

I'm hungry.

Well? - I think I saw this when I was a kid.

No way. It's a 30's film. I'm leaving because I've seen it before. Don't exit during the intermission.

Didn't you hear me?

I'm a convict. Out of hard labour.

19 years of hard labour. "Considered dangerous"

Intermission is over. - Don't ask too much.

Tonight during the alert, people are going to rob your building.

Friends of the Gestapo.

So hide your valuables and warn your neighbours.

Answer me Marius.

Answer me. It's not a bad wound.

He'll heal. But only if you can make him happy.

Your leaving? What have I done?

No baby! You mustn't. You mustn't.

Marius, I scared. What's going on?

Why won't you kiss me?

Yes farther. Why won't you kiss her?

Oh, Farther.

Hold me tight.

Lyon is off. - What's up?

The Krauts where licked in the east...

... and the allies where landing.

We have a few days to switch sides.

What's that mean?

We have a few hours left to be heroes.

How is it? - The second half is a bit much.. Gavroche dies, Marius saves him. Valjean saves Marius. Valjean saves Javert who kills himself.

Like us in the resistance.

Wait! My contacts in Normandy.

Where you grew up?

What's one more coincidence?

Good weather. - Good for us.

Good for the Krauts. Hi kids.

Your late. I like to eat on time.

Hi, precious.

Come in.

Miss perfume.

You want to drink Milou?

I can't stand your perfume.

So stop wearing it or I'll start opening my mouth.

I've got things to say. Things people would like to hear.

He's just in a bad mood.

Yes, I'm in a bad mood. Sit down and stay for lunch.

A Chandelier. - See that.

And a radio. We won the lottery.

What's this? - In case they land we want to treat them well.

Sorry we're late. We had a family lunch.

So it dragged on. - Did you see the paper?

They'll land near Calais. I know they will.

What's wrong?

More bad news?

Goodnight. Go on home.

Something bound to happen soon.

Something will defiantly happen soon.

You'll see. Something will definably happen soon. I'm sure of it.

They'll land near Calais

As you can here. Everything is fine and I'm singing.

I'll keep you posted every half hour.

The pigeon loft is where I lived.

With pigeons? - Yeah, Who crap on you.

This is Krauts heaven. - You lived here long?

Us till 1920. Until I realised my manager was ripping me off.

As soon as the wars over you'll meet my son. His your age.

Now this is one hell of a surprise gentlemen!

Have a drink. I'll be along.

Nothings changed. Except for the customers.

You want a drink?

Do you still have the bosses cider?

Marius, two ciders. Say that again?

Marius two ciders.

Are you the real Marius? - Yes, sir.

Here's to you. - Yes, sir.

This is my son, My pride. - My Gavroche.

Nothing. How about your brother.

He left... with my wife.

He fought at Dunkirk. He fought a good war.

Don't you wonder why I'm back after 25 years?

You wanted to see me?

Come on.

They are in the resistance.

We want a view over the sea.

Things are happening tonight.

What do you see? Over there?

They come here for the booze.

I can't stop all that drinking.

Coffee ready, sir.

Do you live in the pigeon loft?

I like you more and more.

Hurry up everyone. Into the shelter. No laughing.

If Th?nardier doesn't open the sewer door. Marius dies.

If Th?nardier doesn't save Cosette from starvation.

Then there is no Cosette, no Marius and no love story.

No Th?nardier, no love story.

They say that Th?nardier is an angel. Sent by the lord.

He's horrible with his kids. Are you kidding?

Not with his kids. With kids.

No wonder your wife left.

I'm not saying that he is not a scumbag.

I'm saying that he was sent by God.

What a great story. - You can't read between the lines.

I can't read. - They all praise Jean Valjean.

He hasn't got a family of a wife that loves him.

So Valjean is nothing and Th?nardier is the good guy?

Exactly! - Come on.

His wife loves him.

And Gavroche? - Gavroche is his son.

They are family, family and country.

And what he did to Cosette?

He saved her. - From what?

What is it mother?

Angels children. The real ones.

Gentlemen we no longer have time to finish breakfast.

Jeannot.

Look at that.

Damn, What did we get into?

They'll cream us. - Damn right.

General. There are thousands of ships here. Send reinforcements of we'll be butchered.

Start shooting when they get to the coast.

To general command... Quick Quick!

This is madness. Total madness.

To general command: Where being butchered. Quick Quick!

So? Long live France. - Long live France.

Victor Hugo

Victor Marie Hugo (French: [viktɔʁ maʁi yɡo] ( listen); 26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. Hugo is considered to be one of the greatest and best-known French writers. Outside of France, his most famous works are the novels Les Misérables, 1862, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris), 1831. In France, Hugo is known primarily for his poetry collections, such as Les Contemplations (The Contemplations) and La Légende des siècles (The Legend of the Ages). Hugo was at the forefront of the romantic literary movement with his play Cromwell and drama Hernani. Many of his works have inspired music, both during his lifetime and after his death, including the musicals Notre-Dame de Paris and Les Misérables. He produced more than 4,000 drawings in his lifetime, and campaigned for social causes such as the abolition of capital punishment. Though a committed royalist when he was young, Hugo's views changed as the decades passed, and he became a passionate supporter of republicanism; his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and the artistic trends of his time. He is buried in the Panthéon in Paris. His legacy has been honoured in many ways, including his portrait being placed on French currency. more…
