Michele.

Of course I love this land,

that's why I am fighting!

I want you here, Raoul.

I cannot carry on any longer

alone.

VIOLETTE:
Michele! Michele!

Yes, Violette?

The Germans

have been here again.

- They are looking for you.

- Already?

I sent them away.

- Did they find the Englishman?

- Not while Violette is here.

- Raoul.

- Come.

I have made some coffee

for you.

(BOTH GREETING IN FRENCH)

Monsieur Raoul!

- Monsieur Raoul.

- Ah!

(BOTH SPEAKING FRENCH)

- We ought to

get cracking soon.

- Ah...

The trouble is that good

coffee is wasted on you.

- Are you trying to flatter me,

Monsieur Raoul?

- Not at all, Violette.

I was going to say that

any coffee would taste good

after a year in England.

Who are you?

That's Daddy's brother.

And that is

a very good friend.

Rene.

Perhaps today,

perhaps tomorrow,

The Germans will ask you

if you have seen either of us.

But you have not.

Do you understand?

We are fighting for France.

And if you can forget that you

have seen us, you will be

fighting for France, too.

- And you would like that,

wouldn't you?

- Yes.

Then you have never seen

this gentleman or myself.

- Not ever. See?

- Yes.

Come on, Raoul.

Goodbye, mademoiselle.

Thank you.

- I'm afraid I've been rather

a difficult sort of guest.

- Nonsense!

All our friends are welcome

here at any time, aren't they,

Michele?

Of course.

- Are you not coming back

tonight?

- No. It'd be too dangerous.

For you, I mean.

Don't worry about that.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

In the pantry. Don't breathe!

(KNOCKING CONTINUES)

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

- Oh, it's you, Martine!

- Bonjour, Violette!

Bonjour, mademoiselle.

- Another fine?

- (SPEAKING FRENCH)

There was some more

de Gaulle signs put up

in the night.

I thought so.

It was very funny

this morning.

I met old Fayolle, and when

I ask him for some money,

he wouldn't give me any.

So I ask him again...

What are they saying?

I cannot hear.

- Here you are, Martine.

- (THANKS IN FRENCH)

You know, Violette,

it really was so funny

this morning...

Now run along, my child.

(BIDDING FAREWELL IN FRENCH)

You can come out now.

What did she want?

She was collecting money for

the fine we will have to pay

after the raid last night.

All the German wires were cut.

That's what's called

passive resistance.

- You remember Old Fayolle?

- Fayolle, yes.

Well, Martine met him in the

street this morning,

And asked him if he would like

to contribute 30 pieces

of silver.

- What does that mean, exactly?

- You don't know Fayolle.

I was always urging the people

not to anger the Germans,

But Fayolle goes further.

Much further.

Before the war, no one minded
