War of the Buttons Page #6

---

My father is afraid of the consequences.

Lo and behold! Look,...

yes?

Good morning, Mr. Mayor.

Obviously visiting day.

?- Come on.

I do not want to see them!

Especially not him! - You have little

control over your charges, Mr. Teacher.

Do you know what they did?

They came to apologize.

- Not on their own, of course.

I do not need to apologize!

They are the sons of communists!

Have I taught you to lie!

- You said so yourself.

This is interesting. - Yes, we all know

that Lebrac's father is a commie.

And violet, I believe, is Jewish.

Ask her about her parents,

she immediately begins to whine.

What does this prove? - That out of the

mouth of babes comes the truth.

The truth is that he wants attention.

- In any case we will

examine this more closely.

Who has seen her documents?

Who has?

I am secretary of the city hall.

Her papers are in order.

Perfectly falsified, you mean.

We're going to examine them closely, too.

Come with me.

Let us see if they are

in order, as you say.

- Do not talk with your

mouth full, Brochard.

Come on, guys.

I'm going outside.

Yes! Let them piss off!

Guys...

Warn everyone.

Lebrac, go to Simon. Quick!

All right.

Listen, young man, I would know,

if something was irregular.

If all is as you say,

you have nothing to worry about.

I'm not worried.

I can smell your fear.

I have an experience

In such cases, with

dozens of people like you.

Le crique!

Warn our friends in the village.

I'll take care of violet.

Nothing new under the sun.

At one time we gave them

A good dressing down.

- Papa Lebrac remembers it well.

He teased me so

I hit him in the face.

His teeth are still etched in my fist.

You should not annoy me.

Like the yellow dwarf in Cao bang...

the police are on their way to Simone's!

They want to arrest violet.

I know that you know.

Where is he? I'm looking for him.

What do you want with him?

That is my business.

- If you know something you have to tell me.

Check it out. I've been looking

for you for several hours!

The police are coming here!

We must hide violet!

Is there a backdoor?

Quickly, I will delay them.

You won't say anything?

- Who do you think I am?

You may need help?

Against the police?

I'm not doing this for you,

Im doing it for her sake.

Come on. Let's go.

Hurry!

I heard that a girl is staying here.

My goddaughter, yes.

What's the problem?

- Nothing.

I want to talk to her.

And look at her documents.

I do not know where she is.

- I do.

In the barn, with her friends.

Chazal, go check it out.

I will stay here.

Beautiful Simon.

And still single?

Such an unforgivable sin.

You need a man.

A real man.

- That's enough.

Ills she not with them?

Is one of you called violet?

I am violet.

I am violet.

We are all violets.

- Well, yes, of course.

And you all live in a milliner?

- Yes.

You may have sheltered a

purebred Jew.

Bacaille is clearly delirious.

I prefer to believe him.

Hi, Simon.

My wife's birthday.

? I want to buy her a gift.

What would she want?

- A bathrobe.

I will look in their holdings.

- Stay here, you!

Hello, Simon, I have an order

from my wife to pick up.

So do I.

- From my mother.

Don't get in front of me.

- You're not from long Verne!

So what?

- Out of my way!

Everyone back!

Tell me, Brochard, didn't your uncle

serve in a colonial regiment?

I had an aide named Brochard.

Such an a**hole! And lazy.

Where is she?

Well, she's certainly not here.

- You're too stupid.

Get out!

You'll be sorry.

Especially you, Mr. Teacher.

Hey, what's he doing here?

He helps us.

Today only.

Let's go.

She is not in the barn.

I was sure.

- There will be consequences.

Brochard, you were born here,

right?

Where are you going, when the krauts

are gone? To berlin?

Do you want to end up against the wall?

With your hands tied?

Why not?

I took the bullets.

So you that you would not be hurt.

We'll be back with the SS!

Then you'll squeal!

I'm the leader!

I'm in charge!

They need to go.

We did everything we could today.

I just wanted to say!

- We have not told anything.

It was fun

- But this is not the end of it.

The whole village would suffer

because of me.

The allies will soon be here.

Then the Germans and their collaborators

will have other concerns.

You are a sneak... Pythagoras.

And all this time?

- Right from the beginning.

Then you're coming back?

I have a good reason to, don't I?

Your shop?

You can get married after the war,

the wait will be short.

My son will take you to little jean,

his godfather.

Here's a note for him.

He will give you safe haven.

These are the supplies.

- Thank you.

Can I help?

- Yes, please.

We are almost there. The road leads

into the valley. There it is.

Quickly now.

It's that house.

He will help you further.

Take care of yourself, soldier.

Keep it.

This will bind us.

Bring it back after the war.

I also want to give you something.

- That's not necessary, silly.

It is. Wait a minute.

Damn!

I'll wait for you,

to sew it.

In the Parisian fashion.

Now go.

Miriam!

Violet did not see her parents

ever again.

A few months later

France was liberated

And she. Along with Simon,

returned to long Verne...
