http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh0zS4rCCvM watch from 1:00:08- 1:01:12 please can you write his speech as he said it on kreyol...it's only few sentences

Poor Aristide, he had all the right intentions, but none of the big shots that are pulling Haiti's strings wanted to back him up.  They had their own interests and Aristide didn't want to play along with them.

This is what he said:

"Nou mete fanm sou nou

Nou mete gason sou nou

Pou nou kapab konbat mizè a

Nou p’ap tolere ensekirite nan peyi a

Mwen vle, mwen deside pou tout Ayisyen viv anpè

Lè w nan plas piblik, fò w santi w alèz

 Fò w pa gen kè sote

Fòk zenglendo pa ka vin oze menase w

Peyi a se pou nou l ye

Peyi a se pou nou tout li ye

Ou pa ka deja nan mizè

Enpi pou kounye a, pou kriminèl konprann l’ap fè w viv avèk kè sote

Nou p’ap tolere sa."

Is there a difference between lepè and tonton. Can I call my future father-in-law by either of these names?

lepè sounds like he's old.
tonton could be an old guy, a person of very short stature, or a name that everyone calls him by... such as Tonton Max, Tonton Clovil, etc....
If everyone calls him lepè, then you can call him that.  Same thing as tonton too.
Otherwise call him Mesye intèl (intèl meaning such and such)
Or ask him, " Kijan pou m rele w?" (How should I call you?)
