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...
1:10:02
...and who is certain to leave her
in the end.
1:10:06
l don't suppose you can understand
how any woman...
1:10:10
...unprotected, as you say l am,
can be lifted above self-interest...
1:10:16
...by a sentiment so delicate and pure
that she feels only humiliation...
1:10:20
...when you speak of such things.
1:10:23
l realize now that you
do love him unselfishly.
1:10:27
But even so, l say it can't go on.
1:10:30
-But it will go on!
-Armand is a young man...
1:10:33
...with his way to make,
with a career waiting for him.
1:10:36
And in his case, he can't serve
his best interests by being tied...
1:10:39
...to a woman he can't present
to his family or his friends.
1:10:45
-Armand is no different than other men.
-Oh, come, madame.
1:10:48
Be honest.
Haven't you found him different?
1:10:51
Haven't you found him
more sensitive, more loyal?
1:10:55
Or am l prejudiced
because l'm his father?
1:10:58
No. No, no. Armand is different.
