(howls)
:28:52
Lecours, how were we ever induced
to accept the management of this place?

pigs' feet in vinegar, a ham and a pâté.
:29:50
Call the police. This must be stopped.
:29:53
Monsieur, I am afraid
the police can't stop that. It's he.
:29:57
Who?
:29:59
Oh, please don't start that
nonsense again, Vercheres.
