The Trotsky Page #10

Synopsis: Leon Bronstein is not your average Montreal West high school student. For one thing, none of his peers can claim to be the reincarnation of early 20th century Soviet iconoclast and Red Army hero, Leon Trotsky. When his father sends Leon to public school as punishment for starting a hunger strike at Papa's clothing factory, Leon quickly lends new meaning to the term 'student union', determined as he is to live out his pre-ordained destiny to the fullest and change the world.

l know it's all very amusing

for those of us in the post-postmodern

here, this notion of revolution.

ut what kind of people

do you think it takes

to really pull this thing off?

Do you think

they ever change?

No!

They're always

the wrong men for the job.

They're always the ones

other people think are crazy.

- Do l really have to listen to this?

- Do l think Leon ronstein

is the right man for the job?

You bet your ass, Denise,

because he's doing it

and you're not.

- ravo.

- Can l park here?

- Yeah, you can park here.

- O...

- Uh, what's that?

- What's what?

- Holy f***!

- y the way, Denise,

that shining beacon of hope

found me.

nd l'm damn grateful he did.

- We want a union!

oredom!

Union! Union! Union!

Union! Union! Union!

- Well, of course

we're gonna appeal,

but we're very happy

the way things turned out.

- Yeah, uh, this is a message

to the youth of Canada--

uh, nay, to the youth

of the world,

that they may be able

to wound us,

but we will never be silenced.

We will always be heard!

The revolution lives on!

Vive la revolution!

- All charges against Leon

Bronstein have been dropped.

The court released him

on one condition:

he is never allowed

to attend school

in the province of Qubec,

ever again.

- Well, if you need anything,

money or food, just call me.

l'll send you whatever you need.

- Thank you.

- O... nd don't worry about Ontario.

You know, they're not only

lice Munro and Maple Leaf fans.

There are fun people there too.

nd your father wanted to be here,

but he couldn't because

he had a meeting with,

you know,

those rabic people and--

- lt's O.., Mom.

You are amazing.

This is not a good time for me.

- Listen, none of that

matters anymore.

Please, allow me

to buy you a cup of coffee.

Please.

May l put my arm on you?

You and l are going

to change the world.

- Cool, uh, stop touching me.

And don't waste your time

Take time off

and get things done

Get out

Tell your girl she's the one

If there ever was I doubt it

You should find pleasure

From the only place I found it

Take time off

and get things done

Get out

Meet new friends

Tell your girl

that she's the one

Get out get out

We can see the future lately

I've been lost

without you baby

Even when I'm talking

Make up your mind

And don't waste your time

You've been so unkind

Ooh

Je ris pour toi
