[subtitled version]
Bob Montagné : I was born here. It was not so dirty then. And I left to conquer the world. I was fourteen when I left my mother.

Bob Montagné : Yes... a mile away.
Anne : And your father?
Bob Montagné : I use my mother's name.
Anne : She was unlucky with you both.
Bob Montagné : I returned ten years later, early one morning. I saw an old woman on her knees, scrubbing away, as she always had. That's how I recognized her. I left without a word. Then I sent her a postal order each month. One month it was sent back. She had stopped scrubbing.

Bob Montagné : Why the suitcase? Selling shoelaces?
