La vie et rien d'autre1989

[Mercadot explains how the war's end has affected demand for statues]

Mercadot:
The Golden Age, my friend. Nothing like it since the Greeks, since the cathedrals. Even shitty artists have their hands full. A monument per village. Three hundred sculptors for 35,000 towns. Everybody wants his doughboy, his widow, his pyramid, his marble, bas-reliefs, inscriptions. It's a factory. Better than the Renaissance. It's the resurrection.

Major Dellaplane:
Thanks to our dead.

Mercadot:
Thanks to our dead. Thanks to them.
