...but I'll give you one more chance.
- Thank you.

:07:05
But from now on, you will tend strictly
to your work and stop writing trash.

:07:11
- What? Is that a bad exchange for a job?
- A very bad exchange, Monsieur La Rue.

:07:20
Here is your pay
up to the end of the month.

:07:25
Get out.
:07:28
- I'm very grateful to you.
- What?

:07:30
For allowing me to devote
all my time to my writing.

:07:33
Then go ahead with your scribbling.
:07:35
And maybe a lean stomach
will teach you better!

:07:38
But a fat stomach sticks out too far,
Monsieur La Rue.

:07:41
It prevents you from seeing
what's going on around you.

:07:44
While you grow fatter and richer
publishing your nauseating confectionary...

:07:49
...I shall become a mole,
digging here, rooting there.

:07:52
Stirring up the whole rotten mess
where life is hard, raw and ugly.

:07:56
You will not like the smell of my books.
Neither will the public prosecutor.

:08:01
But when the stench is strong enough,
maybe something will be done about it.

:08:05
Good day!
:08:21
You there! Hold on!
:08:24
- Hold on!
- Stop yelling and let us sleep.

:08:27
A woman just jumped into the river.
:08:29
She's better off than all of these.
