Pierre Falardeau: Narrateur

Quotes 

• Narrateur : In Ghana, the poor eat dogs. Here is the dogs who eat the poor.

• Narrateur : It was the mafia of the time. They bought everything: land, honors, medals, power, everything that can be bought. The fur gang slowly form the elite of society. Thieves gradually become honorable citizens. They launder their dirty money by becoming bankers, lords, politicians, judges. That what the Beaver Club was at the beginning. Two hundred years later, their newly respectable descendants revive this ultimate festival of colonial exploitation.

• Narrateur : They stink of expensive perfume. They are rich and beautiful, horribly beautiful with their horrible white teeth and their horrible pink skin. And they celebrate!

• Narrateur : Tonight, masters celebrate the good old days. They celebrate their golden age and their lost paradise. They shout loud, shamelessly, their right to profit, their right to exploitation, their right to the sweat of others. They drink to their own success. They sing that everything is fine, nothing needs to change, it will last forever... always for he same people, always the same people.

• Narrateur : Applaud us. "We are magnificent people." What bufoonery!
