:20:05
Pearls are cold.
:20:08
Everything is cold and finished.
:20:12
So far away.
:20:15
So threadbare.
:20:19
The Russians. Saint Petersburg.
:20:23
Imperial court. The Grand Duke Sergei...
:20:28
Sergei...
:20:31
is dead.
:20:37
It's all gone.
:20:39
Mon Dieu. The pearls,
if they were to break...
:20:44
The pearls don't break.
They hold together and bring me bad luck.
:20:48
I hate them.
:20:50
Orchids again, Madame!
:20:53
No card. I think they are perhaps
from the same young man.
:20:56
He is at the end of the corridor.
Tall. He walks like a soldier.
:21:00
Madame must have noticed
how often he rides in the elevator with us.
:21:08
Yes? Oui.
:21:10
- Madame, the car is here.
- Send it away. I shan't need it.
:21:15
Mme. Grusinskaya will not require her car.
:21:17
No. She'll not be going to the theater.
:21:21
- Time for the performance.
- The performance.
:21:26
Poor little Lisebeta.
:21:28
She still has her stage fright. It will pass.
:21:32
- It's not stage fright. It's something more.
- What? What is it?
:21:36
- Last night there was no applause.
- There was.
:21:43
That theater, half empty.
Dancing for those few.
:21:47
I was frantic.
:21:50
I finished, I waited, I listened...
:21:54
but the applause did not come. Nothing.
