:54:02
...and oh, so sad.
:54:04
But what makes it sad for you?
:54:06
I don't know.
:54:08
Perhaps it's a kind of useIess foreboding
I seem to have pretty often.
:54:14
I'm afraid I'm going to miss these summer
evenings of ours when they're over.
:54:17
Do they have to be over?
:54:19
Everything's over some time.
:54:21
Don't Iet's Iook so far ahead.
:54:24
We don't have to be aIready thinking
of the cemetery, do we?
:54:27
Our summer evenings wiII be over
before that, Arthur RusseII.
:54:30
Why?
:54:32
Good heavens,
there's Iaconic eIoquence for you.
:54:35
AImost a proposaI in a singIe word.
:54:38
WeII, I--
:54:39
Don't worry. I shan't hoId you to it.
:54:42
No, but something wiII interfere.
:54:45
Somebody wiII, I mean.
:54:48
PeopIe taIk about each other fearfuIIy
in this town.
:54:51
They don't aIways stop at the truth.
:54:53
They make up things. Yes, they do, reaIIy.
:54:57
What difference does it aII make?
:54:59
It's just that I'd rather they didn't
make up things about me to you.
:55:05
I'd know they weren't true.
:55:07
WouIdn't it be great if two peopIe
couId just keep themseIves to themseIves?
:55:11
If they couId manage to be friends
without peopIe taIking about them?
:55:14
We've done that pretty weII so far,
haven't we?
:55:17
And if you want
our summer evenings to be over...
:55:20
...you'II have to drive me away yourseIf.
:55:23
No one eIse couId?
:55:25
No one.
:55:27
WeII, I won't.
