La Maison Sous la Mer Page #3

Beautiful?...

It's just apple trees.

Why don't you go to sleep?

There's something

you're not telling me.

How's your love life?

There's always a dispute about

the count of the buckets...

...2 men should monitor

the loading dock.

But that'll have to be accepted.

Not very reassuring...

this mode of transport!

You just need to

keep fairly still, sir.

This monitoring will increase

profits by 10%.

There's also a 10% more

risk of an accident.

Maybe we could consider

a bonus.

100 francs per man.

Though we'd end up

settling for 50.

I'm offering drinks

all round!

But you pay for

the second glass!

You don't pay at meetings!

- We have our rights!

- Three cheers for our host!

- The worker has all the rights.

That's enough!...

Shut up and listen!...

Our comrade's widow

has to keep her accommodation.

Management wants

to take it back.

We'll take action,

if management persists.

- Anouk! Where the hell are you?

- Quiet!

Pass the Calvados!

Why don't you

marry her now?!

We're a miserable lot...

because we never know...

...when fate will take us.

So I'm going to open a library.

So is it unanimous?

I'm taking this opportunity

to discuss my choir project.

From all our discussions...

you know me well.

I've got management to agree

to a bonus of 50 francs a man.

Any volunteers?

- Don't all talk at once!

- You gotta be kidding!

- We're miners.

- Not flying-fish!

You can buy a drink.

Those aerial buckets

aren't meant for people.

Stick to your books.

- Is the 50 francs for sure?

- It's for sure.

Oh yes... then it's taken away!

Of course!

I'll volunteer.

- You're not a real miner!

- We've all the right to choose.

The boats rolling!

Don't knock my work...

I connected the platform.

No problem.

You can do it, my boy.

It's not an voyage

on the high seas.

- We wouldn't be scared.

- Can I join you?

I'm not selling myself

for a lousy 50.

So yes or no?

- Another volunteer?

- Work under the stars,

...plenty of fresh air.

- Nobody?

Who cops it for you,

from management?... I do!

When you're unhappy,

who cops it from you?... I do!

If you were offered nothing,

you'd all volunteer!

Shut up!

You're just another boss!

- An exploiter!

- I am!?

- Drop dead!

- You make people stupid!

I used to be a worker...

I made something of myself!

You can all go to hell!

- Mr Capel!...

- What?

You're needed at your father's...

it's serious!

Go and fetch Flore...

she'll be near the cliff.

So... will this be

our rendezvous place.

I'm not rendezvousing with anyone.

I'm just glad you came.

Me too.

You no longer need my house.

You'll have yours.

Is it good to be meeting like this?
