Danton Page #4

we lose control of Paris

So much for your defenceless Danton

l want to see him today

See that traitor?

Set up the meeting

This session is over

You'd lower yourself to ask Danton

to receive you?

When it comes to the good of the

nation, l'd stoop to anything

l've just spoken to the Committee

Secretary

Some members are accusing you

of high treason

- Just me?

- The others too, all of them

Robespierre agrees?

- l don't know yet. l'm going

- Afraid?

l'd rather not be seen with you

No, change all that, please

Only blue flowers, he only likes blue

New style turbot,

formerly ''maitre d'hotel''

We'll start with stuffed cucumber

Then vol-au-vents

Vol-au-vents in ''Convention sauce''

Formerly known as caper sauce

Quails ''emigre'' style with onions

And to finish, fruit in Varennes sauce

- ls it to your satisfaction?

- Perfectly, thank you

l'd have made him wait, dressed

carelessly, anything... but not this

- lt's a gesture, it's now or never

- Just leave me alone! Go home

Let me see him humiliated, please

Go home! You too, Bourdon

No! Certainly not!

- l must know how to vote

- l said go home!

Everybody out

Now that's blue, exactly

Get rid of all these people, quick -

l must be alone

Right away

Clear out, all of you

Sorry, security

Good evening. l kept you waiting,

l'm sorry

No matter, for once we're alone

together

Just you and me

- ls everything all right, citizens?

- Fine, thank you

- Would you like some?

- No, thank you

And this?

- Magnificent, isn't it?

- No, thank you

- A quail, perhaps?

- No, thank you

lt's not poisoned. Look

Delicious! No?

Sit down

- You're really not hungry?

- No, thank you

What do you want?

To talk frankly with you

Haven't you always?

Why did you attack Hiron?

Why did you arrest Dessenne

and ban the paper?

l must protect the government,

but l don't understand you

They say that you are plotting

lt's not true, you know

l'm as pure as snow

Your many enemies want you dead

You too?

Stop attacking me and l give you

my word you'll have nothing to fear

Because l do now?

l thought you didn't drink?

To our understanding

What do you want?

l like your directness

State publicly that you're joining us

- l can't

- Why?

Because l don't approve of the

government, l have that right

But not to proclaim it.

Especially not you

You expect me to bow down to them?

You think you're above

the government?

The individual is above the masses

We both despise the Committees,

but l say so

They mustn't come between us

Not the Committee, not the

government - nobody

Divided, we both fall

lf you continue your reign of terror

l cannot support you, no one will

The people, our strength,
