La Haine Page #2

Synopsis: The film follows three young men and their time spent in the French suburban "ghetto," over a span of twenty-four hours. Vinz, a Jew, Saïd, an Arab, and Hubert, a black boxer, have grown up in these French suburbs where high levels of diversity coupled with the racist and oppressive police force have raised tensions to a critical breaking point. During the riots that took place a night before, a police officer lost his handgun in the ensuing madness, only to leave it for Vinz to find. Now, with a newfound means to gain the respect he deserves, Vinz vows to kill a cop if his friend Abdel dies in the hospital, due the beating he received while in police custody.

Community service? The pits!

You'd rather do time?

Your bro stole a dog!

- His mouth is full!

Put it on my tab.

Liar! Your nose is growing!

l'll bust your nose, Sayid!

Beat it!

A .45!

Like the gun in ''Lethal Weapon.''

We saw that movie together!

lt was a 9mm. Glock!

- What?

- No, it wasn't!

That was a Desert Eagle.

He shot at the truck!

That wasn't ''Lethal Weapon''!

What are you talking about?

A cop lost his handgun

during the riot.

That's a good one!

who lost his piece.

But l'd like to know

who found it!

No joke!

Everyone's been inside, except me.

A month for theft

What's going on here?

Think you're in Disneyland?

You're not allowed up here.

You gotta go down.

We're causing no trouble.

Still, you've got

to get off the roof.

We like it up here.

Off the roof.

You learn that sh*t at Notre Dame?

Cut it out! Quiet everyone!

- l'll handle this!

- Forget it!

You can't stay here!

So fold your little tents,

grab your chairs...

and let's all go downstairs

nice and easy.

OK!

Who's gonna make us leave?

Your goons or you,

in your little uniform?

Nordeen, we're doing our job.

Leave us alone!

Don't talk to me like that,

l don't know you.

Now get lost!

Sitting duck!

Your mother drinks Bud!

Anyone who wants to stay, stay!

Heat's off.

- l'm staying

- You're going.

Let me stay, Nordeen.

- What did l say?

- You said go.

- So what do you do?

- l go!

OK, l'm going!

Vinz, c'mon!

Don't play tough guy!

You always wimp out!
