why?
all right .  you're the one who must decide.
why? isn't it wise?
alright. see you tomorrow.
but it's he who won't be safe with me .
not yet .
let's try .
it's good nobody is following us .
what do you think of the strike, ali?
yes, i think so too .  it's been organized well .  but what will the french do?
no, they'll do even more. we've given them the opportunity to do a lot more .  do you understand what i mean? starting tomorrow, they won't be groping in the dark any more; every shop and every worker who strikes will be a known enemy, a self-confessed criminal .  and they will be able to pass to the offensive. have you thought of this?
but kader told me that you weren't in favor of the strike.
why?
that's true .  wars aren't won with terrorism, neither wars nor revolutions. terrorism is a beginning but afterward, all the people must act .  this is the reason for the strike, and its necessity: to mobilize all algerians, count them and measure their strength .
yes .  yes. the problem also involves the un. i don't know what it's worth, but this way, we'll give the un the possibility of evaluating our strength.
do you know something ali? starting a revolution is hard, and it's even harder to continue it. winning is hardest of all. but only afterward, when we have won, will the real hardships begin.
anyway, there's still a lot to be done .  you aren't already tired, ali, are you?
and doesn't it seem to you even more cowardly to drop napalm bombs on unarmed villages, so that there are a thousand times more innocent victims? of course, if we had your airplanes it would be a lot easier for us. give us your bombers, and you can have our baskets.
in my opinion, the nlf has more chances of beating the french army than the french have to stop history.
i can only tell you that it would have been better if i had never been there .
is the show already over?
