Won't they close-down the plant, then?

They can't. They have to respond

to their work orders. They need us.

If we go on talking, we'll be in the

same situation as last year.

I believe we have to occupy the plant.

Calm down.

We've been negotiating.

What should we do?

We stay quiet.

We have to do something.

It's over.

Are you feeling bad?

What's wrong with you?

- The right side?

- It's alright.

Did you do some holes on the letters?

- Stretch it.

The wind could turn it down.

- Maybe we should fasten it down here.

- It's OK. I've got it.

- You looking for someone?

- My son. Frank Verdeau.

Frank, you've got visitors.

- How are you, mom?

- I'm fine. And you?

- I brought you some clean clothes.

- Thank you.

- Where do you sleep?

- Don't worry.

- You may come home.

- It would be better if I didn't.

- You're right. You know what you have

to do. -Don't worry about that.

Cowards, go on strike.

The plant is closed. We occupied it.

Twelve employees have been dismissed.

You could be on that list.

Don't call me madam.

We are together in this.

Aren't you mad at it? Do you need money?

You're young. She is young, also.

Being young is no excuse.

- Look up at them.

- They think they're wise. Come down here!

We can do nothing.

Put your tools down.

Why are you still working?

You're fired. You hear?

Go on strike with us.

Jean-Claude, stop it. Don't let they fire

you like that. We are here for you.

- I asked nothing to no one.

- You never asked anything.

Your children are running risks for you

and you don't do anything.

Go on strike!

Pick it up, pick it up.

You'll always be pathetic.

I'm ashamed of you, you know?

The shame I've been feeling

since I was a kid.

Shame of being the son of a worker.

Shame of being a student,

the son of a worker.

- There is nothing to be ashamed of.

- You tell him. He made me that way.

Shame of his social class!

I've given you a good news.

They won't fire you, you'll retire.

It's not because you've been

a good worker for 30 years.

This is a favor the boss did to me.

Because he likes me.

We talk as equals.

I don't like that. That.

You know?

I know I'm being unfair.

I should be thankful.

I should thank you and mom

for all your sacrifices.

You did it. Your son's on

the capitalists' side.

I'll never be a worker. I'll have

an interesting job. I'll make money.

I'll have responsibilities and power.

The power of talking

the way I'm talking to you.

The power of dismissing people

the way they do now.

You shame is very deep inside of me.

I'll carry it with me the rest

of my life.

Rouet, the game is over!

Testing- 1, 2, 3...

Please...

Today is a celebration day.

A special celebration,

because we are starting a strike.

We stopped the machines.

Nothing will leave the plant.

We'll have to be patients.

We believe all of us should

keep our jobs.

We should accept no dismissals.

It's very important.

Those who were dismissed

last year...

have joined us. Today,

some of them are smiling.

But we are very excited.

The game is still open.

Kiss me.

- You want something to drink?

- Thanks.

What will you do now?

I'm taking the train tomorrow.

I'm going back to Paris.

It's alright. You deserve better.

This could kill you like hell.

Your place is not in this hole.

And you, when are you going to leave?

Where is your place?
