Martin Guerre movie - The Dinner lyrics

<br>

Arnaud<br>

To my family and friends, to my uncle our host<br>

If you all quieten down, I must first drink a toast<br>

For all you've done since my return<br>

For all the kindness that you've shown<br>

I want to say these days have been the happiest I've known<br>

Now I think at last, we've a gift for you<br>

(he hugs Bertrande's stomach)<br>

Sometime in the spring, you should have a new Martin<br>

(the villagers cheer, Arnaud and Bertrande embrace)<br>

Villager 1<br>

Hey Martin, you dirty bastard, not like you to be so quick<br>

Villager 2<br>

What's the secret?<br>

Three Crones<br>

Seven years on army rations did the trick!<br>

Pierre<br>

All right that's enough! It's late, go home! I want to talk to Martin.<br>

Mme de Rols<br>

What's the matter, Pierre?<br>

Pierre<br>

André, take your wife home.<br>

(the villagers leave)<br>

Guillaume, not a word!<br>

Guillaume<br>

Of course not, Pierre<br>

(he leaves)<br>

Pierre<br>

Is it true what I hear, you've turned from our faith, <br>

you're a Protestant now?<br>

Mme de Rols<br>

What are you talking about??<br>

Pierre (to Bertrande)<br>

And have you done the same, tell me is this the truth<br>

Mme de Rols<br>

She would never do that!<br>

Pierre<br>

And the child that you bear is a Protestant heir?<br>

Arnaud<br>

Yes. I'm a Protestant now<br>

Mme de Rols<br>

Bertrande is this true??<br>

Arnaud<br>

This is my faith<br>

Bertrande<br>

I showed him how a God can love<br>

He understood<br>

Arnaud<br>

At last I found another way<br>

Mme de Rols<br>

Is this how you repay our love?<br>

Bertrande<br>

Mother, please, understand!<br>

Mme de Rols<br>

You're no daughter of mine!<br>

Pierre<br>

If one word of this gets out<br>

They'll hang you up and watch you break<br>

Not one word of this gets out<br>

I swear they'll burn you at the stake<br>

Mme de Rols (overlapping with Pierre)<br>

No, not a word, do you hear me not a word<br>

Not a single word (...)<br>

Both<br>

Silence, perfect silence, always silence only silence just,<br>

silence, total silence, simply silence now as silence must<br>

(Guillaume appears)<br>

Guillaume<br>

And so the treachery begins<br>

A secret deal to save their skins<br>

A secret's well and good except it's only secret when it's kept!<br>

(he runs into the streets)<br>

Lubin! Galoche!<br>

Villager<br>

What Guillaume, what?<br>

<br>
