I find him sleeping.
I had to wake him up on camera. And what was wonderful--
he was very philosophical. A very poor black farmer. And I sensed that, after a while, he didn't feel so comfortable
with us anymore, and he sat up and started
to tie his worn-out tennis shoe. And then, all of a sudden,
he sings a song against the camera, and I knew that was that.
So, go away, we'd better get out. [singing in French]
