-He won't.
Don't you remember Descamps?
He took his eye out!
-Fine.
But you know what's good?
-Don't say he still has one eye.
Descamps is recuperating at home, so the teachers aren't seeing him.
But they are seeing your brother.
With his perfectly combed hair, his good grades, nice manners.
People are thinking about him.
No one's thinking about the one-eyed boy.
-It'll be optional.
-Latin will become optional?
They're talking about pushing it out to 8th grade.
Here's the teachers' material.
Let me know if you need anything.
-Thank you.
That means Latin in 4th year?
Might as well not learn to read.
I don't know if there's enough to go around.
Thank you very much.
Mrs. Giraud?
I made it last night.
Is there almond in it?
-Yes, almond powder, eggs...
-No, thank you.
Mr. Bellanger?
I will be at your nephew's disciplinary hearing today.
-I'm aware.
-Will you be there too?
Only at the beginning.
I won't be debating or voting.
It's a terrible thing.
I wish I didn't have to vote.
I'm sorry.
Cake?
Who can give me the dates of the Battle of the Marne?
Mr. Felbec.
September 5th to the 12th, 1914.
Who were the opposing armies?
Miss Sabiani, are you going to jump on the desk for me to see you?
Don't you think you draw enough attention as it is?
The opposing armies.
The French and the Germans.
And the British Expeditionary Force.
Don't raise your hand if you only know half the answer.
And please tie your hair back, this isn't a party.
It's not fair.
Okay, we'll talk more about the Battle of the Marne tomorrow.
Let's move on to naming our class leader.
Mr. Felbec?
My teachers have always picked me as class leader.
I'm studious and get good grades.
Well, I'm not like your former teachers, Felbec.
You'll have to earn it.
Does the Battle of Marathon mean anything to anyone?
I see.
Whoever can tell me the date of the Battle of Marathon this afternoon will be named class leader.
Come in.
-You wanted to see me?
-Miss Couret.
Yes, please...
I was just preparing the pay slips.
Your name isn't on the list.
All the other teachers are on the list, but...
Mrs. Hervieu.
Excuse me?
You have a "Mrs. Hervieu" on the list, right?
Yes, there is.
I'm Mrs. Hervieu.
I'm going through a divorce.
I hope you understand that I couldn't pay Mrs. Hervieu without knowing who Mrs. Hervieu was.
I'll be using my maiden name again in a couple of months.
I wanted the teachers and students to use that name right away.
My marriage didn't last.
-I don't have children.
-I didn't mean to pry.
But you called me to your office.
Miss Couret, your private life is your business.
I just wanted to verify the name, so that the school could pay you.
Now that we've cleared that up, you...
You can...
Have a good day, Mr. Bellanger.
It kind of suits you.
You look tough.
Some girls love that.
Vincent Auriol lost an eye.
Why did you say that?
Just saying.
He lost an eye, but he was president.
Do you know how often I've heard that since losing my eye?
Every day.
My father, my mother, the grocer, the butcher, the neighbors...
The next one who mentions Auriol will get punched in the face.
-Didn't Vincent Auriol lose an eye?
-Yes.
Sorry, Annick.
Do you want to be class leader?
I can't.
Giraud hates girls.
