La Haine Page #3

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.

Quit taping, d*ckhead!

This ain't Thoiry!

What's with all the a**holes today?

That f***in' broad...

What's Thoiry?

A drive-in safari park.

This ain't no zoo!

Open up, WalMart!

You f***in' jerks.

Talk nice, we're in France.

lt's 1 p.m. and you're in bed?

What's with the hair net?

Lay off!

You a movie star, WalMart?

What's this shitty TV?

Watch where you sit!

Just sweat pants!

Where's the new TV?

lt's too big to move.

l came by for my cash.

Where were you?

l don't have it.

Don't you know what happened?

Go see what your pals did.

Foued's brother did that.

So what?

Give me his address.

Look what he did to my car!

Look what he did!

Just look!

Leave that alone.

l lost ten grand!

l can't work now.

WalMart, it's just a car!

That's what you say!

You don't realize.

lt's all l got.

Cut it out!

Leave that alone!

A homeboy's dying,

f*** your car!

''A homeboy!''

Big deal!

You disgust me!

That car's all l have.

lt's my life!

- They're showing the riot!

- My car's more important!

Look, the riot.

- Some TV!

- Sure, bust it!

- Fix the antenna!

- l'm trying!

lt's David!

How'd he get on TV?

l was over there,

they missed me!

- Fix it! l can't see a thing!

- This TV sucks!

How'd that f***er get on TV?

Hey, gimme my money!

l don't have it. Snoopy has it.

Gimme my coat

and get outta my face!

You guys must be happy.

A cop lost his gun in the riot.

l hope the guy who finds it

uses it uptown, not here for once!

Forget it,

we'll get even!

You know that show,

''Candid Camera''?

So this celebrity's sure

he's been set up.

His buddy's fixed it

with the camera guys.

The celebrity thinks

they're out to get him.

He always eats

in the same joint.

He's sure

they'll film him there.

The others convince him

there's a hidden camera.

He sees the TV truck,

a camera behind the mirror

and the guy with him

pretends to act weird.

The celebrity thinks

he'll fool 'em,

pretending he hasn't noticed.

He thinks all hell

will break loose.

But they just film him, jumpy,

waiting for sh*t to happen.

So you see this guy...

Cut it out, Sayid!

- Wasn't me!

- Then who?

The celebrity's sweating,

trying to act cool.

Each time the waiter passes

he thinks it'll happen.

Then a guy asks him

for his autograph.

The celeb thinks it's a trick

and starts ranting at the guy,

who doesn't know what's up,

so he gets mad.

They start fighting,

and the Candid Camera guys

have to break it up.

lt was a killer punch out.

Then what?

That's all.

Who was the celebrity?

Dunno, but he was real famous.

l don't remember.

This looks like trouble.

See ya.

WE'RE THE FUTURE
