:57:00
That's very nice of him.
:57:05
A mere formality.
:57:20
- I caught it with a brunette.
- Who can you trust?
:57:23
A friend of my mother's.
Quite respectable. She did charity work.
:57:27
In good society it's usually the pox.
:57:30
Right, Boeldieu?
:57:31
The pox used to be our privilege.
But we've lost it.
:57:36
Like so many others.
:57:38
Everything is popularized.
:57:39
Cancer and gout
aren't working-class diseases,
:57:44
but they will be, believe me.
:57:46
How about intellectuals?
:57:48
With us it's tuberculosis.
:57:50
Here's Mr. Pindar.
:57:52
And the middle class?
:57:54
Liver and intestinal ailments...
They eat too much.
:57:57
We'd each die
ofour own class diseases,
:58:00
if war didn't make all germs equal.
:58:03
Your dictionaries are in myway.
:58:06
Excuse me,
:58:07
but Pindar has always been
so badly translated.
:58:11
A lamentable oversight.
I'm so sorry.
:58:14
Not that I care,
but who's this guy Pindar?
:58:18
Go on,joke! But Pindar
means more to me than anything...
:58:22
More than you, the war, my life!
:58:26
Pindar is the greatest Greek poet.
:58:29
The greatest Greek poet?
:58:31
You don't say...
:58:35
There! My map'sjust about finished.
:58:39
See... this is where we are...
:58:44
16 miles above this bend
in the Main River.
:58:47
To reach Switzerland
above Lake Constance
:58:50
and avoid the Rhine,
we'd have to travel...
:58:54
- 200 miles.
- No kidding!
:58:57
That means walking 15 nights on 6 lumps
of sugar and 2 biscuits a day.
