Every night he came to the garden.
:56:12
I trembled with fear and sadness.
He was pale, too,

:56:16
clutching his revolver.
:56:18
Such hotheads, these students!
:56:19
“My tender love,” he murmured.
:56:22
My tender love!
:56:24
- Don't stop her from lying.
- Go on, Nastia.

:56:26
He called me his “boundless love.”
:56:30
“My parents oppose this marriage
and threaten to disown me,

:56:33
so I’ve decided to end it all.”
:56:37
He raised his pistol,
loaded with 1 0 bullets.

:56:40
“Farewell,” he said.
“l can't live without you.”

:56:44
I answered,
“My unforgettable Villiam -”

:56:47
William.
:56:49
It was Gaston the other day.
:56:53
Stop teasing the poor girl.
Show some respect.

:56:56
It's not what she says that matters,
but why she says it.

:57:00
- Go on.
- We're listening.

:57:03
They're just jealous
because they have nothing to tell.

:57:06
No, I’ll say no more.
:57:09
I said to him, “Light of my life,
:57:12
nor can I live without you
on this earth.

:57:15
I’ll love you as long as I live,
:57:18
but don't sacrifice
your young life for me.

:57:20
Go, leave me.
:57:22
I’ll spend all my days weeping for you.”
:57:24
- Don't cry.
- What an idiot!

:57:27
And it's all from Doomed Love.
:57:30
Shut up!
You're so low, nothing moves you.

:57:32
I believe you, dear.
You had a great love.

:57:35
You're telling the truth.
:57:37
He was a student, you know.
His name was Gaston.

:57:40
He had a black goatee
and patent-leather shoes.

:57:42
God strike me dead if I’m lying!
:57:44
He loved me like I loved him!
:57:46
Patent-leather shoes, of course.
A real student.

:57:51
A search?
:57:54
Lord, spare me such a trial!
