Sometimes in April (2005 TV Movie)

Carole Karemera: Jeanne, Augustin's wife

Quotes 

• Jeanne : It's happening, isn't it?

  [Looks silently at an equally silent Augustin before angrily returning to preparing dinner] 

  Jeanne : I should never have listened to you! We should have left a long time ago for Kenya or for Senegal, I don't know, but...!

  Augustin : I'm in the military. This is our home.

  Jeanne : Yes, but tell me: how can I call this home when I'm living in constant fear, Augustin? I already lost most of my family in '92. There's only us now.

  Augustin : I can't just get up and run! Abandon everything? What?

  Jeanne : We should have brought Anne-Marie back sooner!

  Augustin : She's safer in the countryside than in Kigali. Come on!

  Jeanne : [Snaps in frustration]  Come on, wake up!... Nobody is safe in this country! Have you seen the Hutu Ten Commandments?

  [Shows Augustin a flier] 

  Jeanne : Somebody put it on my desk today at the hospital! They even underlined number seven: "The Rwandese Armed Forces shall be exclusively Hutu; no member of the military shall marry a Tutsi."

  [Huffs angrily, walking toward the window] 

  Augustin : [Tries to calm Jeanne]  Jeanne...

  Jeanne : Now I'm talking about our children's lives. If anything happens, they will let us all die.

• Marcus : [Referring to RTLM]  Mom, why do they call us cockroaches?

  Jeanne : [Hesitates]  Because they don't know any better, sweetheart.

• Jeanne : [the night the killing begins. Augustin is preparing the car when Jeanne runs out]  Augustin! I can't reach Anne-Marie on the phone!

  Augustin : [Hesitates]  Keep trying.

  [There's desperate banging at the front gate] 

  Augustin : Who is there?

  Xavier : Xavier!

  Felicie : [Distraught as she and Xavier rush inside]  Augustin, it's terrible! They're shooting everybody! There are dead people in the street!

  Xavier : [Shaken]  Félicie and I were picking up some food from Nando's restaurant when we heard the explosion! They are going house by house, pulling people out!

  Jeanne : [Beginning to panic]  Augustin, let's go!

  Xavier : No! There are roadblocks all over!

  Augustin : If we leave, we'll walk into the mouth of the lion.

  Jeanne : [Irate]  Well, where do you think we are now?

  Felicie : [Sobbing]  We cannot get trapped in Kigali!

  [Sudden gunfire nearby startles them to the ground] 

  Augustin : Come on, go!

  [They rush for the house]
