Scenes with Henri
6 scenesWhere is your mama, your papa, huh?
I don't know. They were on a boat to America.
Then you are in luck, my little immigrant. This is America.
America. But I thought it was bigger.
It is bigger. All of that is also America.
I know, my little immigrant. You want to find your family. And you will.
But how? They're so far away, and it's so big. I'll never find them anyway.
Excuse moi, pardon, but did you say never? So young, and you've already lost hope! This is America, the place to find hope. If you give up now, you will never find your family. So never say never.
Now, are you going to find your family?
Yes!
Chantal! Take this little one to Immigration. You will find your family there. Everyone goes through Immigration. I would take you there myself, but then I would never finish my statue.
Henri, you said never.
Oh, so I did!
