Chantal Darget: La femme dans le métro

Quotes 

• La femme dans le métro : Know what you niggers are? You're potential murderers. And you know it.

  L'homme dans le métro : And you, your dream is to be like a Hollywood hooker. Money is all you think about. It's written all over your face.

  [La femme points over to Robert and Paul who are eavesdropping on the conversation] 

  L'homme dans le métro : They just don't get it. They just don't get it. They take their heads in their hands and blather, "Oooh, I just love Bessie Smith."

  [Robert and Paul look at each other] 

  L'homme dans le métro : They have no clue what she's singing about. "Here's my big fat black ass." She's not singing about love.

  La femme dans le métro : What, then?

  L'homme dans le métro : It's not about desire, not about sorrow. Nothing like what you think. Want me to tell you? Her big fat ass is telling you to f*** off. That's what. Same goes for musicians. Take Charlie Parker.
