Free Men Page #2

Many beautiful girls here.

Good day, Salim.

-Good day, Jeannot. Are you okay?

What do you think of

that blonde at the bar?

I'm kidding. Take a drink.

Cheers.

Health.

Slow down, it's not tea.

Day, Salim.

-All right, honey?

See you soon.

Soon.

You know everyone here.

-Everyone knows me.

When I arrived in Marseille,

I was just fourteen.

I knew nobody.

I had no work.

Now I'm taking advantage of it.

After the war I'll

open my own nightclub.

Les Folies Ismailia.

God grant that.

To your health, brother.

Not so fast, I'm drunk.

I warned you.

prohibitions on Jews in the performing arts,

the film or in the music

What's that?

All bullshit. Come.

Who's there?

-Larbi. Open up.

I got this in the nightclub.

Jews may no longer perform.

-I know.

I can't risk

the police closing my place.

Distrust everyone.

Many people are informers.

F*** you, I have to perform.

Nobody forbids me to sing.

Tell me about the singer.

Yesterday I went drinking with

him in Pigalle.

He lives in the 11th arrondissement.

Have you learned anything?

What?

Speak.

What are you doing?

I see you often, but never

in the prayer room.

ln the prayer you can partake ...

of the world in which we live.

Don't you think so?

What are you doing here?

What do you want?

-I need to talk.

Not now, I'm busy.

I need to talk.

Right now.

I'm busy, I said.

I knew you would come.

I spotted you right away.

You weren't very discreet.

But I didn't know that they

were interested in Salim.

Does he know?

I wanted to tell him, but ...

What should I do?

Do what you want,

but I wouldn't tell him.

Go to the mosque bathhouse.

Ali.

I thought you were dead.

My cousin.

What are you doing here?

-I was looking for you.

Come.

Because of you I'm in trouble.

The police interrogated me.

I was almost screwed.

What were you thinking of?

Relax, Younes.

Don't get involved.

I'm in a resistance group.

I'm hiding in the mosque.

Nobody can know.

You have not seen me, you understand?

Why? It's not our war.

I fight for freedom.

Now in France, soon in Algeria.

And then across North Africa.

I was with Ben Ghabrit.

What are they accusing me of?

What do they have against me?

They don't know that you are Jewish.

Sorry about the last time.

I wasn't alone.

Forget about it.

A drink from me.

Larbi.

Where is Larbi?

What do you know?

I don't want to go back to them.

A toast to

the Franco-Arab friendship ...

and I want to thank His Excellency

Si Kaddour Ben Ghabrit ...

the minister and representative

of the Sultan of Morocco ...

for promoting

friendship ...

with North Africa, Lebanon, Syria

and the Islamic world.

Your Excellency,
