Things aren`t that bad.

You`ve still got a bed.

Yes. Good hair quality.

Ten francs.

Dear Reverend Mother.

The bishop of Digne,

may he rest in peace...

...often told me of your convent

and its good works.

In his memory,

I would like to give a--

Or is it ``l should like"?

`"Should`" is preferable.

And "endow" is less brutal than "give."

-I should like to endow--

-Monsieur!

There`s been an accident.

One of the workers. Lafitte!

-Get me out! I can`t breathe!

-Stand back. Let me through.

-Let him through.

-Help us. We need leverage.

-Come on, move!

-Gather round!

-Together. All together.

-Let's go, boys!

Get me out! It`s breaking my rib!

-Get ready.

-Come on, pull. All together. Pull!

Boys, push. Push. come on, push.

-Marla.

-Good evening.

-Where`s Claudette tonight?

-Oh, monsieur.

-There are more than ever.

-Inspector, you startle me.

Yes, I counted four new girls.

You see, captain, when a town grows,

crime grows with it.

-Shall I get the men and make arrests?

-No. did you check off the regulars?

Yes.

-And l`ve noted the new girls.

-Good work.

-Marla.

-Good evening.

-Is it 1 0:
00? I didn`t hear it ring.

-I`m early. I was restless.

-You heard about Lafitte and the cart?

-Nothing else.

Incredible feat.

Has the mayor

always been that strong?

Well, he`s a big man,

but I didn`t know he was that strong.

-Didn`t he show it when he was young?

-I didn`t know him when he was young.

Oh, that`s right. He moved here.

Where`s he from?

Well, he came here from paris,

but that`s not where he was born.

-You know, I think he told--

-Didn`t you check his papers?

-I suppose I did. Don`t remember.

-Perhaps you didn`t.

Why should you?

How about her?

Who are you?

-Push off!

-Yeah, get off.

-Hi, dearie.

-Oh, yes. yes, yes, yes.

She`s new.

Who is it?

I`m buying your horse and cart.

The doctor says your kneecap`s broken.

You won`t be able to do your old job.

I`ve written to the sainte marie convent

in Paris.

The sisters need

a new caretaker and gardener.

-I`m sorry. I`m so sorry.

-Sorry for what?

Monsieur, I used to--

I was angry at you.

Because when you came here,

you were a worker like me...

...and you grew rich...

-...while I had troubles.

-We`ve all had troubles, Lafitte.

And we all need help

from time to time. rest.

And l`ll let you know when

I have word from the convent.

`"Thank you for...

...our new...."

C-A-R-E. Caretaker.

-That`s it, caretaker.

-Excuse me.

-Inspector Javert is here to see you.

-Tell him to wait.

I have exciting news, monsieur

le maire. Paris is interested in my plan.

-What plan`s that?

-It`s in the letter, sir.

Why don`t you tell me?

You said it`s your plan.
