Le père
- Le caïd: I have a court order. This land has been given to the colonist Mr Guérini.
- Le père: But Kaid, this land belongs to my father and my ancestors.
- Le caïd: Do you have the deeds?
- Le père: What deeds? We have no documents.
- Le caïd: Without the deeds, I can't help you. You must leave.
- Le père: That's impossible. I was born here. My father was born here, like all my ancestors! My children too!
- Le caïd: You have three days to leave.
- Le père: If we leave, how would I feed my family?
- Le caïd: It's the law. I can't help it.
- [walks away]
- La mère: [agitatedly] Are they crazy? We have to leave our land based on what a piece of paper says? I'll die here and be buried here!
- [running towards departed policemen, shouting]
- La mère: It's not fair! You're committing a sin! May God curse you! May God curse you! May God curse you!
- Le père: [grabbing a fistful of soil, to family] Remember, this is your land too. You were all born here, and grew up here. But now, we're hounded from it. May God punish them.
