Quotes 

  • Madeleine : I have to type all the chemical additives?

    Marguerite : Yes. It's frightening. We have to hurry to get the paper out on time.

    Madeleine : But there are 27 chemicals here.

    Marguerite : I know.

    Madeleine : But it's like Chinese. All 27 go on the same lettuce?

  • Marguerite : Noon, summer, the street is filled with tomatoes. The light is cut in two tomatoes halves. Juice flows down the streets with its own light, its majestic generosity. Unfortunately me must kill it. The knife slices the living flesh. Red inside! a new sun! No chemicals in our leeks. Buy our vegetables. Our beautiful vegetables. Buy a beautiful lettuce. No chemicals. Without scales or bones. It offers us its wild freshness, the whole of its freshness.

  • Mathieu : School kills them.

    Marguerite : You went to school. And I did. And Marcel. We're no worse for it. It can't go on. I pay taxes for schools and then I pay you too. Do you want to see the books? Come and see them. We can't grow vegetables and support your school too.

    Mathieu : Fuck the books. Are carrots more to you than your kids?

    Marguerite : The kids will manage.

    Marcel : You just make them and they manage.

    Mathieu : So do pigs. Are you pigs?

    Marguerite : Pigs or not, Tomorrow they go to school. Not yours. The other school. And you get back to work. I'm not paying you for not working.

    Mathieu : Out of the question.

    Marguerite : I've decided.

    Mathieu : Not for me. I'll do something else.

    Marguerite : Suit yourself. Tell me tomorrow.

    Mathieu : I'm telling you now. Send them to the slaughterhouse. I'm keeping my pad, comrade-proprietor. For Jonah.

    Marguerite : Keep it if you want. For Jonah. And fuck you.
