:15:03
When he goes to see her,
he makes excuses to hide it.
:15:07
But it's no crime.
He's a widower.
:15:09
A widower? Please!
:15:12
Don't say that word,
Monsieur Brun.
:15:15
- You don't know of my misfortune?
- What misfortune?
:15:21
Madame Panisse?
:15:24
Three months tomorrow.
:15:26
On Friday, she'd eaten
a sumptuous dish of snails and fish.
:15:31
- And that Sunday she passed away.
- Just like that?
:15:36
Say what you will,
the good Lord is not very kind.
:15:39
Such a devoted wife, and so good
at putting the employees to work.
:15:44
And at home she loved a laugh.
:15:47
She was always ready
for a little joke.
:15:50
At breakfast, I'd chase her
round the table in her shift.
:15:56
I'd give her little slaps.
I'd pinch her nicely... in fun.
:16:02
In revenge, she'd tickle me.
:16:07
I'm sure you'd rather not
talk about it.
:16:10
When I think that
all that is gone forever.
:16:14
I weep every night.
I can't go on, Monsieur Brun.
:16:19
What's to be done?
:16:22
I've made up my mind.
:16:24
Come on now. Think it over.
:16:26
I have already. I can't endure
such suffering any longer.
:16:31
Don't act hastily.
:16:36
I've decided
to marry again at once.
:16:38
- Marry again?
- As soon as possible.
:16:41
After all, she's dead.
:16:43
I can't bring her back.
:16:46
Some may say
I've not waited long enough,
:16:49
but my conscience is clear.
:16:50
I've wept more in four months
than others do in years.
:16:55
Tears as big as that,
Monsieur Brun.
:16:57
And moans and cries -
I don't know how I've borne it.
