:40:14
- Now, mademoiselle.
- Yes, madame?
:40:16
You see, uh...
Not a word to Monsieur La Valle.
:40:19
About what?
:40:21
Potatoes.
He doesn't want me to eat them,
:40:24
and naturally I don't want
to upset him.
:40:27
Naturally not.
:40:33
Now, mademoiselle...
:40:35
in the short time that you have been
Monsieur La Valle's secretary,
:40:38
have you noticed any change in him?
:40:40
Well, uh, yes and no.
:40:44
To me he seems rather nervous.
:40:47
Nervous?
Uh-huh, he smokes too much.
:40:50
No. No, he works too much.
:40:52
He's chained to his desk.
Too much detail.
:40:55
Now, uh, if you could take over
some of his work...
:40:58
So he wouldn't be so confined
to his office.
:41:00
Yes. And he'd have
a little more time for...
:41:03
- For all the really important things.
- Right!
:41:05
I'll do my best, madame,
even if I have to work every night.
:41:09
Oh, no. No, my dear child.
That's ridiculous.
:41:12
You go home as usual, 5:00 every day.
:41:15
Now, I'm going to be
a little bit of a tyrant.
:41:17
I insist. It'll be nice
for your little brother too.
:41:21
5:00, remember.
:41:23
Very well, madame.
Thank you.
:41:28
- And, my dear,
- Yes, madame?
:41:30
- How much is your salary?
- Three hundred francs.
:41:34
Well, in times like these,
most people are cutting salaries,
:41:37
but in your case,
suppose we say... 350?
:41:42
Madame, you are just
too sweet for words.
:41:52
- Well, what does she want?
- You.
:41:55
And she's willing to pay
as high as 50 francs.
:41:58
- What?
- But it's not enough!
