Charlotte: Yeah, over 550,000 in France. It got really violent, really fast.
Charlotte: Iya, lebih dari 550.000 orang di Prancis. Aksinya cepat sekali berubah jadi ricuh.
James: Seriously? I thought it was just a peaceful march about living costs.
James: Serius? Kukira cuma aksi damai biasa soal biaya hidup.
Charlotte: It started that way. But people set fires, looted shops, and attacked police.
Charlotte: Awalnya memang begitu. Tapi orang-orang mulai membakar, menjarah toko, dan menyerang polisi.

James: Wow, doubling in seven years is brutal. No wonder they took to the streets.

Charlotte: Pasti. Rasanya Eropa saat ini sudah mencapai titik batas kesabaran.
