And how is your cousin,
Edmond de Boeldieu,

1:03:07
the military attaché I met in Berlin?
1:03:10
He's doing well. He's very happy.
1:03:12
He lost an arm
and married a rich woman.

1:03:15
A truly fine career.
1:03:27
Recognize her?
1:03:37
Sit down.
1:03:39
Let me tell you something...
1:03:42
Believe me,
1:03:44
my present functions
1:03:47
revolt me as much as they do you.
1:03:50
That's being harsh.
1:03:52
I used to be a combatant.
1:03:54
Now I'm a bureaucrat, a policeman.
1:04:00
But it's the only way
1:04:02
I can still appear to be
1:04:05
serving my fatherland.
1:04:10
I have burns all over...
That explains my gloves.

1:04:15
My spine is fractured in two places.
1:04:19
A silver plate.
1:04:22
In my kneecap, too.
1:04:27
I owe these riches
to the misfortunes ofwar.

1:04:32
- May I ask you a question?
- Of course.

1:04:36
Why did you make
1:04:39
an exception ofme
1:04:41
by inviting me here?
1:04:43
Because your name is Boeldieu,
career offiicer in the French Army.

1:04:48
And I am Rauffenstein, career offiicer
in the German Imperial Army.

1:04:53
But my comrades are Officers, as well.
1:04:56
A Maréchal and a Rosenthal, Officers?
