They're fine soldiers.
1:05:02
Charming legacy
of the French Revolution.

1:05:06
Neither you nor I
can stop the march of time.

1:05:10
Boeldieu...
1:05:12
I don't know who will win this war,
1:05:16
but whatever the outcome,
1:05:18
it will mean the end of
the Rauffensteins and the Boeldieus.

1:05:23
We're no longer needed.
1:05:25
Isn't that a pity?
1:05:27
Perhaps.
1:05:33
I admire the way
you tend your geranium.

1:05:36
Don't think I've become a botanist,
1:05:40
but it's the only flower
in the fortress.

1:05:45
Nothing grows here but ivy and nettles.
1:05:50
I'm glad I'm leaving with you.
1:05:53
With us.
1:05:54
Sure, I like Boeldieu, but...
1:05:59
With him...
1:06:02
I never really feel at ease.
1:06:05
Different backgrounds...
There's a wall between us.

1:06:09
He's a terrifiic guy.
1:06:10
Sure, and he's on the level, but...
1:06:14
Suppose you and I were on the skids.
1:06:17
We'd just be two bums.
1:06:19
If it happened to him,
1:06:21
he'd still be " Monsieur de Boeldieu."
1:06:24
Anyway, you've been terrifiic, too,
1:06:26
feeding us with your parcels.
1:06:29
That's all vanity.
1:06:31
I'm really proud to come
from a rich family.

1:06:35
Inviting you to my table
is myway ofshowing it.

1:06:39
Most people think we're stingy.
1:06:41
Wrong. We're often generous.
1:06:44
Unfortunately, along with that quality,
1:06:47
Jehovah gave us an overdose of pride.
1:06:50
To hell with Jehovah!
1:06:52
All I know is you've been a real pal.
