“What animates you, sir? The one who kept you, Lazare Vilain, alive? Why are you messing with us? Who are you? You think this is entertainment? That life is a game etc... No, life is not a game... It's a war, a class war and my husband gave his life for this cause (...) Shall I tell you something... You got into this like a snob; I guess it felt sweet to sit in the front row of misery (…) You turn into a bourgeois, that's what happens. You are an illegal bourgeois, but you are a bourgeois after all.”
