We Reed a SUBTITLE in the sky above the farm house; CHAPTER ONE “ONCE UPON A TIME IN... NAZI OCCUPIED FRANCE" This SUBTITLE disappears, and is replaced by another one; r1g4l one year into the German occupation of France”. The farm consists of a house, small barn, and twelve cows spread about. The owner of the property, a bull of a man FRENCH FARMER, brings a axe up and down on A tree stump blemiching hie property. However simply by sight, you'd never know if he's been beating at this stump for the last year, or just started today. JULIE One cf his three pretty teenage daughters, is hanging up laundry on the clothes line. As she hangs up a white bed sheet, she hears 4 noise, moving the sheet aside she see's; ze SULIB'S FOV: A Razi town car convertible, with two little the hood, a NAZI SOLDIER behind the wheel, a back seat, following TWO OTHER NAZI SOLDIERS ever the hill on the country road leading to nazi Flags attached to NAZI OFFICER alene in the on motorcycles, coming up their farm. JOLIE Pappa. ‘The French Farmer sinks his axe in the stump, looks over his shoulder, and see's the Gexmans approaching. The FARMERS WIFE, CHARLOTTE comes to the doorway of their home, followed by her THO O'PNER TEENAGE DAUGHTERS, and see the Germans approaching. The Parnor yolls te his family in FRENCS, SUBTITLED IN ENGLISH; FARMER Go back inside and shut the door.FARMER (to Julie) Jolie, get me some water from the pump to wash up with, then get inside with your mother. The young lady runs to the water pump by the house. She picks up a basin, and begins pumping, after a few pumps, water comes opt splashing into the basin. ‘The French Parmer sits down on the stump he was previously chopping away at, pulls a handkerchief from his pocket. wipes sweat from off his face, and waits for the Nazi convoy to exrive. after living for a year with the sword of Damocles suspended over his head, this may very well be the end. Julie finishes filling the water basin, and piaces it on the window sill. JULIE Ready Pappa. FARMER Thank you darling, now g6 inside and take care of your mother. Don't run. Julie walks inside the farm house and closes the door behind her. As her father stands up from his stump, and moves over to the window sill with the water basin... +e.The SOUND of the ENGINES of the two motorcycles and car get LOUDER. ‘The Farmer SPLASRES water from the basin on his face and down his front. He takes a towel off 2 nail, and wipes the excess water from his face and chest, as he watches the two motorcycles, the one automobile, and the four representatives of the National Socialist Party come to a halt on his property. We don't move into them, but keep observing them from a distance, like the Farmer. The THO NAZI MOTORCYCLES? are off their bikes, and standing at attention next to them. ‘The NAZI DRIVER has walked around the automobile, and opened the door for his superior. whe NAZI OFFICER says ta The Driver in UNSUBTITLED GERMAN; NAL OFFICER This is the property of Perrier LaPodite?v NAZI DRIVER yes heer Colonel. qhe Wa2i Officer climbs out of the back eeat of the vehicle, carrying in his left hand a black jeather attache case.

COL LANDA Please, join me at your table. PERRIER Very well. “fol Landa leans forward, and says to the Parmer in a low tone of ys font iaencasity: iS Con LANDA Monsieur LaPadite, what we have to discuss, would be better discussed in private. You'll notice, I left my men outdoors ~ if it wouldn't offend them, eoujd you ask your lovely ladies to step ovteide. PERRIER You are right.PERRIER (to bis women) Charlotte, would you take the girls cutcide. Tae Colonel and i need to nave a few words. the Farmers Wife follows her husbands orders, and gathers her daughter's taking them outside, closing the door behind them. The Two Men are alone, at the farmers dinner table, in the Farmere humble home. They now speak COL LANDA. Monsieur LaFadite, I regret. to inform you I've exhavsted the extent of my French, To continue to speak it so inadequately, would only serve to embarrass me. However, I've ben lead to believe you speak English quite well? PERRIER Oud - COL LANDA Well, it just so happens, I do as well. This being your house, I ask your permission to switch to gnglish, for the remainder of the conversation? PERRIER By all means. ENGLISE: COL LANDA Monsieur LaPedite, while I'm very familiar with you, and your family. L have no way of knowing if you are familiar with who I am. Are you aware of my existence? ‘The Farmer answers: PERRIER Yes. COL LANDA ‘ais is good. Are you aware of the job I've been ordered to carry out in France?ange » sence The Colonel drinks more milk. COL LANDA Please tell me what you've heard? PERRIER I've heard, the funrer nas pot you in charge of rounding up the Jews left in France vho are ether hiding, or paseing for Gentile. The $.8. Colonel smiles. CO LANDA The Fuhrer couldn't of said it better himself. PERRIER But the meaning of your visit, pleasant though it is, is mysterious to me. The Germans looked through my house nine months ago for hiding Jews, and found nothing. COL LANDA. I'm aware of that, I read the report on this area. But like any entezprise, when under new management, there's always a slight Guplication of efforts. Most of it being a complete waste of time, but needs to be done nevertheless. I just have A few questions Moneieur LaPadite, if you can assist me with answers, my department can close the £4le on your family. Taking his black leather attache case, and placing it on the table, he takes out ¢ folder from inside. He also extracts a expensive black fountain pen from his uniform front pocket. Opening the folder, and referring to itz COL LANDA Wow before the occupation there were four Jewish families in this area, oll dsizy farmers like yourself. The Loveitts, The Dolerece, The Rollins, ané The Dreyfus's, is that correct?quest. PERRIER To my knowledge those were the jewish families among the dairy farmers. - Heer Colonel, would it disturb you if I smoked ny pipe? Looking up from hiv papers. COL LANDA Please, Monsieur LaPadite, it is your house, make yourself comfortable. ‘The Farmer gets up from the table, goes to his shelf over the fireplace, and removes from it a WOODEN BOX that contains all the fixine to his pipe. de sits back down at the table with his Nazi ‘Re The Farmer loads the bowel of his pipe with tobacco, sets a match te 4t, and begins slowly puffing, making it red hot, the §.8. Colonel atudies the papers in front of hin. COL LANDA Now according to these papers, all the jewieh families in this area have been’ accounted for - except, The Dreyfusis. Somewhere in the last year it would appear they have vanished. Which leads me to the conclusion that they've ether made good their escape, or someone 4s very successfully hiding then. Gecking up from his papers, across the table at The Farmer} What have you heard shout The Oreyfuaic Monsieur LaPadite? PERRIER only rumors ~ COL LANDA = I love rumors! Facts cen be se misleading, where rumors, true or false are often reveling. So Monsieur UaPadite, what rumors have you hearé regarding The preyfusis? looks at Landa.COL LANDA Speak freely Monsieur LaPadite, I want to hear what the rumors are, not who told than to you. ‘The Farmer puffs thoughtfully on his pipe. PERRIER Again, this is just a rumor - but ve heard the breyfusis had made tnere way into Spain. COL LANDA So the rumors you've heard have been of escape? PERRIER Yes. COL LANDA Were the LaPadites and the Dreyfusis friendly? As the Farmer answers this question, the CAMBRA LOWERS behind his chair, to the floor, past the floor, to a small area underneath the floorboards revealing! FIVE HUMAN BEINGS lying vertically underneath the farmers floorboards. These human beings are The DREYFUSIS, who have Lived lying down underneath the dairy farmers house for the past year. But one couldn't call what The Dreyfusis have done for the last year living. This family nas done the only thing they could, hidden from a occupying army that wishes to exterminate then. PERRIER We were families in the same community, in the same busedness. I wouldn't soy ye were friends, but members of the same Gomounity; we hed common interest. ‘The $.5. Colonel takes in this answer, seews to except it, then moves to the next question. COL LANDA Having never net the Dreyfusic, would you confirm for me the exact members of the household and their names?lo. PERRIER ‘There were five of them. The father, Jacob...,.wife, Miram..... her brother, Bob..--- COL LANDA + How old is Boh? PERRIER Thirty - thirty one? Cor, LANDA Continue, PERRIER and the children...Ancs..,.and Shoshanna. COL LANDA Ages of the children? PERRIER Amos - six - I believe. And Shosanna. was fifteen or sixteen, I'm not reaily sare. cur ro DAIRY FARM - DAY She Mother and hes three Daughters finish taking the laundry off the ‘flothee line. COL LANDA Well I guess that should do it, COL LANDA However, before I go, could 1 have another glees of your delicious milk?ay : PERRIER But of course. oka Parmer stands wp, goes over to the ice box, and takes out the gtaft of milk. As he walks over and fiils the Nazi Colonel's glass, ie German Officer talks. COL LANDA Konsieur LaPedite, are you aware of the nickname the people of France have given ne? PERRIER Z have no interest in such things. COL LANDA But you are aware of what they call me? PERRIER I'm aware. COL LANDA What are you aware of? PERRIER ‘That they call you, "The Jew Hunter". COL LANDA Precisely! Now I understand your trepidation in repeating it. Before he was assassinated, Beydrich apparently hated the moniker the good People of Prague bestowed on hin. Actually why he would hate the name, “the Hangman", is baffling to me Jt would appear he did everything in his power to earn it. But I, on the other hand, love my unofficial title, precisely because I’ve earned it. "The Jew Hunter" enjoys his fresh milk, he continues to theorize th the french farmer- COL LANDA whe feature that makes me such a effective hunter of the Jews, is, as opposed to most German soldiers, I can think like a jew. where they can only think Tike a German, or wore precisely, a German soldier. Now 1f one were to determine what attribute the Gexman people share with a beast, it would be the cunning and predatory instinct of a hawk.COL LANDA (con'?) Negro's - gorilia's - brain - lips - smell ~ physical strength - penis size. But, if one were to determine wnat attributes the jeve share with a beast, it would be that of the rat. Wow the Fuhrer and Gobbles propaganda have said pretty much the came thing. Where our conclusions differ, is I don’t consider the comparison a insult. Consider for a moment, the world a rat lives in. It's a hostile world indeed. If a rat were to scanper through your Front door right now, would you greet it with hostility? PERRIER X suppose I would. COL LANDA fas a rat ever done anything to you to Greate this animosity you feel toward them? PERRIER Rat's spread disease, they bite people - COL LANDA = Unless some fool is stupid enough to try and handle a live one, zate don't make it @ practise of biting human beings. Rats were the cause of the bubonic plague, but that was some time ago. In all your born days, has # zat sver caused you to be sick a day in your life? I purpose to you, any disease 4 rat could spread, a squirrel could equally carry. Yet T assume yon con't share the same animosity with squirrels that you do with rats, do you? PERRIER No. COL LANDA et, they are both rodent's, are they not? And except for the fact that one has a big bushy tail, while the other has a long repugnt tail of rodent skin, they even rather look alike, don't they? Haag12.6 PERRIER It is a interesting thought, heer Colonel. COL LANDA However, interesting as the thought may be, it makes not one bit of difference to how you feel. If a rat were to ccamper through your door, this very minute, would you offer it @ saucer of your delicious milk? PERRIER Probably not. COL, LANDA 1 didn't think so. You don't like them, You don't really know why you don't Like them. All you know is, you find them repulsive. (let's the metaphor sink in) What a tremendously hostile world a rat must endure. Yet, not only does he survive, he thrives. And the zeason for this, is because our little foe hac a instinct for survival and presavation second to none, And that Monsieur, is what a jew shares with a rat. Consequently, a German soldier, conducts a search of a house suspected of hiding jews. Where does the hawk look? He looks in the barn, he looks in the attic, he looks in the cellar - he looks everywhere, he would hide. But there are many places i would never occur to a hawk to hide. However the reason the Fuhrer brought me off my Alps in Austria, and placed me in French cow country today, 4s because it does occur to me. Because I'm aware what tremendous feats human beings are capable of once they abandon dignity. (changing tone) May 1 smoke my pipe as well? PERRIER Please, Cononel, make yourself at home.3, 8 Jaw Bunter, removes both a pipe and a bag of tobacco fixings. e pipe, strangely enough, is a Calabash, made from 2 "S" shaped goard swith a yellow skin, made famous by Sherlock Holmes. “Ax the Nazi Colonel, busies himself with his smoking life, he “gentinucs to hold court at the Frenchmans table. COL LANDA The other mistake the German soldier make is theix severe handling of the citizens who give shelter and aia to the Jews. These citizens are not enemies of the state. They axe simply confused people, trying to make some sense out of the madness war creates. These citizens do not need punishing. ‘They simply need to be reminded of their duty in war tine. Let's use you as a example Monsieur LaFadite. in this war, you have found yourself in the middle of a conflict that hae nothing to ¢o with yourselz, your lovely ladies, ox your cows - yet, here you are. So Monsieur LaPadite, let me purpose a question. In this time of war, what is your number one @uty? Is it to fight the Germans in the name of France to your last breath? Or, is it to harass the uccupying army to the best of your ability? Or, is it to protect the poor unfortunate victims of warfare who can not protect thenselfs? or, 48 your number one duty in this time ef bloodshed, te protect those very beautiful women who constitute your family? The Colonel iets the last statement stand. COL LANDA That was a question Monsieur LaPadite. In this time of war, What do you consider your number one duty? PERRIER To protect my family. COL LANDA Now, my job dictates, that I must have wy men enter your home, and conduct a thorough search, before I can officially cross your families name off ny list.iy, COR LANDA (con's) And if there are any irregularities to be found, rest assured, they wili be, Phat is unjess, you have something to tell me that will make the conductiag of a search unnecessary. (pause) I might add also, that any information that makes the preforming of my dat) easier, will not be met with punfshuent. Actually quite the contsary, it will be wet with reward. And that reward will be, your family will cease to be harassed in anyway, by the German militery during the rest of our cocupation of your country. Phe Farner, pipe in mouth, stares across the table at his German opponent COL LANDA You are sheltering enemies of the etate, are you not? PERRIER Yea. COL LANDA Your sheltering them underneath your Fleorboarés aren't you? PERRIER Yes. COL LANDA Point out to me the area's where their hiding. ‘.qhe Farmer points out the area's on the floor with the Dreyfusie are undexneath- COL LANDA since I haven't heard any disturbance, T assume that while their listening, they don't speak english? PERRIER yes. COL LAHDA I'm going te switch back to french now, and T want you to follow my masquerade > 4s that clear?1s, PERRIER Yes.

If I had to guess her fate, I'd say she'll probably be turned in by some neighbour. Ox, she'il be spotted by some German soldier. Or, we'll find her body in the woods, dead from starvation or exposure. Or, pethaps...she'll survive. She will elude capture. She will escape to America. She will move to New York city.
