The suffragettes

Hello, here is the trailer we watched this morning. Here is the script , you can read and listen at the same time to improve yur listening comprehension skills. 

Man: You work at the Glasshouse Laundry?

 Maud: I was born there. Part time from when I was seven, full time from when I was twelve.

Man. What would the vote mean to you?

 Women: Votes for women, the power is in your hands!

 No one cares, love!

Some of us do, so shut your bleeding cake hole.

Maud: All my life I’ve been respectful, done what men told me.

Maud’s husband: You’re a wife, my wife, that’s what you’re meant to be.

Maud: Well, I can’t have that anymore.

E. Pankhurst. Never underestimate the power we women have to define our own destinies. We have been left with no alternative. Defy this government!

 Woman: Votes for women!

Edith: We shall cut into the heart of communications.

Second man: My job is to enforce the law.

Maud: It means nothing to me, I’ve had no say in making the law.

Third man: We have reached a state of anarchy we can no longer ignore. Punish those responsible, whatever way you can.

Second man: We’ll stop you.

Maud. What you gonna do? Lock us all up? We’re in every home, we’re half the human race, you can’t stop us all.

E. Pankhurst. We do not want to be law breakers, we want to be law makers!

vocabulary: defy= défier

the law: la loi

break the law: enfreindre la loi

make the law: faire les lois
