1:11:02
And so you see, as long as Armand loves
you, he'll not enter rooms that you can't.
1:11:08
But a man can go back.
He can always go back.
1:11:12
Monsieur...
1:11:14
...suppose l told you l have a feeling
l shan't live very long?
1:11:18
Well, then l'd scold you for being fanciful
and a little foolish.
1:11:23
What you probably feel
is the melancholy of happiness...
1:11:27
...that mood that comes over
all of us when we realize...
1:11:30
...that even love can't remain
at flood tide forever.
1:11:34
-Without Armand, l'm doomed.
-With him, you're both doomed.
1:11:38
Without a profession of any sort,
what can he do?
1:11:42
Unless he sinks so low
he's willing to let some other man...
1:11:45
...foot the bills for his life with you.
1:11:47
You don't know Armand.
You wouldn't say that.
1:11:50
No one knows the man he might become
if he loses his self-respect.
1:11:54
But l think that's too high
a price to pay, even for love.
1:11:58
l want Armand to enjoy life,
not to be sacrificed to it.
1:12:03
You see, my son is as dear to me
as he possibly can be to you.
1:12:08
Yes, but you have others
who are dear to you.
1:12:11
l have only Armand.
1:12:15
You don't know how l've changed.
1:12:18
And he taught me that love is not
always selfish, nor goodness dull...
1:12:23
...nor men faithless. No, no. You can't
expect me to give up such love as his.
1:12:28
Think what's best for him.
1:12:30
Think what you'd want for him
if he were your own son.
1:12:34
Then think how you're killing
his right to a normal life.
1:12:39
Try to realize that everything
you're ashamed of in your own past...
1:12:43
...would only taint his future.
1:12:46
You tell me that you love him.
l believe you.
1:12:50
That's why l'm able to stand here,
a man who's getting old...
1:12:55
...and ask this great sacrifice of you...
1:12:58
...as humbly as l'd ask
a great favor of a queen.
