Woke (2017–2018): Season 2, Episode 6 - L'accepter - full transcript
Murielle faces a revolt of the editorial board of her feminist publication. They protest a cover-story centered on hijab-wearing Nadjet. Nadjet decides to come and deal with them face to face.
Will you send news?
Of course,
we work together after all!
Having your own time
will be good for you.
One last drink?
They're waiting for me.
Just a shot then?
Alright.
Hicham,
I spoke with mom on the phone.
You're going to turn 23.
She has a gift for you.
How hard
did you have to persuade her?
Do I give her your address?
I don't want to have
to hide my booze
or drink from mustard glasses because
she might rummage through my stuff.
Hicham, it's me.
I know you care about
what she thinks.
You can't just cut her off.
It is important.
Thinking about oneself
is important too.
- And family, Hicham?
- Nadjet, family are those
who accept you for who you are.
Don't make that face.
Give me a hug.
WOKE
ACCEPTANCE
Did you know that Murielle
wants to interview you?
She told me last night.
CALLS WAITING
They're yelling at each other though.
Lucie and the others don't want to.
Okay.
Thanks.
Sorry, I've got to go.
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
WOMEN'S / WOMEN'S REVIEW
We can't let the
editorial line drift,
there's no more
diversity of opinion.
- Nadjet, you really don't have to.
- No, I want to be here.
Okay.
We only had a one-liner
for the Italians' manifesto.
- What is it?
- A pile of shit.
Lesbians against
the commodification of women.
GPA, prostitution, it's a
revival of radical feminism.
No, it's a reaction.
I met these Italians,
they aren't exactly models.
Why do you say that?
They reject all trans women.
Exclusion is their thing.
Why are we listening to her?
She's not even in editing.
Excuse me?
I'm supposed to shut up
because you're helping me?
Her opinion
still deserves to be mentioned.
Do you want Sylvie to leave?
I never said that.
Excluding trans women is saying
that people are fundamentally
different and irreconcilable.
It changes nothing except
the relations of domination.
Fuck, where does that get us?
To the pre-Beauvoir feminism,
is that it?
- That's not progress.
- We still haven't talked about MAP.
That's true, lesbian subjects
always get left behind.
You're never there when
we debate ten guys on the board.
I have to agree,
but that's not why we're here.
So why are we here?
For coffee? What do you want?
We want a collegiate editorial
And I'd like us to vote on it.
All this because
you can't handle
five pages about a veiled woman
in a feminist magazine.
Stop, Lucie!
Do you always shut her up?
- What do you mean?
- What do I mean?
You keep talking about Muslim women
without ever listening to one.
Aren't you Muslim?
I don't practice.
They made me wear the veil.
I didn't choose.
Why do you wear the veil,
Nadjet?
First, I'm a practicing Muslim.
And...
I feel safer.
- Aside from my brother, all men...
- So what?
- Women have to hide from assaults?
- That's not what she said!
Why would my words be more
important than her life experiences?
You're so narrow-minded,
it pisses me off!
I never really
thought about myself.
I don't know why
my parents had kids.
Maybe to be like everyone else.
Hicham and I
grew up knowing
we weren't loved.
He chose to act
as if he didn't care.
I was the opposite,
I always tried to please them.
I was a good girl.
I worked hard at school,
I didn't party.
And then...
I met a man.
I didn't love him, but...
I knew they liked him.
So I married him.
5 years later, he found someone
else and brought me back home.
That ruined everything.
I became invisible.
You don't think I've wanted to
take off the veil
with all the crap I get?
I like it. I just do.
I don't care if
that bothers you.
Your scorn will
never help anyone.
Keep your forms.
Are you blocking the vote?
I'm done with this.
The magazine stops, it's over.
Are you sure?
Don't worry,
I'll do something else.
They can get published in Italy.
Nadjet!
How are you?
Thomas!
Yes, I remember.
Good.
I'm good.
- And you?
- Good.
I'm on my way to work.
I don't want to bother, it's just
that you didn't call me back.
I'm sorry.
You still have my number?
Hi!
Your friend,
Jimmy, right?
How did you meet?
Did you know the same people?
Why don't you tell
me what you want?
You know that
I went out the other night.
I met someone.
You only tell me now?
FLT elevators, please hold.
Hicham left,
he had problems with a guy.
I was left alone with him.
- Nothing happened.
- Did you like him?
I don't know...
I didn't call him,
I didn't know him.
That's not right.
- What?
- You'll end up marrying your brother.
- You have a call.
- I'm not saying to invite him over.
It won't hurt to know him
if he's nice.
Sorry for the wait, I had an
emergency. A frigid little girl.
Need a hand?
I'm good.
- I'm almost done.
- How are you?
Are you worried?
You're cute.
Between outcasts...
It's alright.
I'm bummed for Nadjet
that we won't publish it.
Yeah, it's too bad.
They kind of won.
Please don't...
When I opened the New Mole,
you showed me Women's/Women's.
Yes.
The first issues
were a bit messy...
I like that fanzine feel.
It's sharp.
And there is no compromise.

Hello!
Women's/women's,
last issue for one euro.
Cool, awesome, thanks.
Do you want a drink?
Why not!
It's free.
- Nice.
- Thanks.
Watch out, people will realize
that you have a heart.
Laurent will hold a meeting
to say that I eat children.
He's not like that.
Hicham's walk for trans identity
is a beautiful fight, right?
Did you see how cute
they are together?
- Do you want to help them?
- No.
With us.
But you know that you are
bound by the group of traders.
You're stuck, you're gonna fail.
I want none of it.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Last issue for one euro.
I'm so proud.
Here you are...

Relax,

Do we have to?
We're just gonna sit and relax.
Can't we go to a terrace?
No, I've got to see Murielle.
You'll like what we're doing.
There is a lot of stuff.
In addition to the walk,
we got shows, debates...
Did you do all that?
Not everything, can you imagine?
