Iove, as we understand it, is a technique
that must be developed in hot countries.

:32:08
- Sounds glamorous and yet...
- What?

:32:11
Somewhat mechanical.
:32:13
Evidently you Spaniards make
too much fuss about...

:32:16
a simple, elemental thing like love.
:32:18
We Swedes are more direct.
:32:20
But that's civilization.
:32:22
Disguise the elemental
with the glamorous.

:32:24
A great love has to be nourished,
has to be...

:32:26
Great love?
:32:28
Don't you believe in its possibility?
:32:30
In its possibility, yes,
but not in its existence.

:32:34
A great love, perfect love, is an illusion.
:32:38
It is the golden fable
of which we all dream.

:32:42
But in ordinary life, it does not happen.
:32:44
In ordinary life,
one must be content with less.

:32:50
So young and yet so disillusioned.
:32:53
Young man, you are cynical.
:32:56
Not at all. Merely realistic.
:32:58
Here you are, My Lords.
:33:00
- Six!
- Nine!

:33:04
- It's the truth.
- I say you are a liar.

:33:07
I am in the Queen's army,
I know what I am talking about.

:33:10
- Six!
- Nine!

:33:13
Yonder are two gentlemen,
we will ask them.

:33:16
A tankard of ale that I am right, agreed?
:33:19
Agreed!
:33:21
- Six!
- Six is right.

:33:23
Nine!
:33:27
Sir, do you know the court in Stockholm?
:33:32
Yes, I have been there.
:33:34
Then you can settle our wager for us.
:33:36
This drunken pig, who is my friend...
:33:40
maintains that the Queen, God bless her...
:33:43
has had six lovers this last year.
:33:46
I claim that's a disloyal,
libelous statement.

:33:51
And what do you say?
:33:53
I say there were nine. Six, indeed!
:33:56
- Why, this is a very loyal fellow.
- Wait a minute.

:33:59
I'd like to know first
what the gentleman's opinion is worth.
