1:08:05
l'm sorry your son isn't here, monsieur.
1:08:08
Well, it's just as well.
1:08:10
l didn't look forward to seeing him
with any pleasure, under the circumstances.
1:08:14
As a matter of fact, l'm glad to be able
to talk to you directly and frankly.
1:08:19
You see, l know
what's been going on here.
1:08:22
You don't think me worthy of your son.
You're right, l'm not.
1:08:26
No. No woman is worthy
of a man's love...
1:08:29
...who's willing to let him ruin himself
for her, as you're doing.
1:08:34
l don't know what you've heard,
but it isn't true.
1:08:37
Armand has told me himself...
1:08:39
...that he wants to take his modest fortune
out of my hands at once.
1:08:43
The reason is obvious, isn't it?
1:08:46
Can you deny he wants the money
for you?
1:08:50
Whatever the reason, l hope
you won't let him have it, monsieur.
1:08:56
l wish l could believe you were sincere.
1:09:00
A few years ago,
l lived on bread and soup.
1:09:03
l can manage very well without
taking anything from Armand.
1:09:06
l still say what l came here to say.
This thing must end at once.
1:09:12
You might as well
save your breath, monsieur.
1:09:17
How long have you
known Armand, madame?
1:09:21
Three months and 1 2 days, monsieur.
1:09:23
Three months and 1 2 days. And how long
do you expect this thing to last?
1:09:29
You have never known love
to last, monsieur?
1:09:32
Never, when it was
unsanctified by marriage...
1:09:35
...unblessed by children or social ties.
1:09:38
l shall love Armand always, and l
believe he shall love me always too.
1:09:42
-Always, eh?
-Always.
1:09:43
Hasn't your own experience taught you
the human heart can't be trusted?
1:09:48
l think l know my own heart
better than you can, monsieur.
1:09:51
And l can trust it not to change.
1:09:54
No woman, unprotected as you are, can
afford to give the best years of her life...
1:09:59
...to a man who, when he leaves her,
will leave her with nothing...
