:37:00
They never go out,
and they receive no one.
:37:03
Hélène, that girl is wonderful.
I must see her again.
:37:09
You must give me this one chance.
:37:12
I'll think about it on one condition:
:37:15
You must quit harassing them
with your advances.
:37:18
You're causing me trouble.
:37:21
They complained to me in writing.
If you need proof...
:37:27
here is the letter.
:37:29
It's from Agnès. Read it.
:37:39
Her writing is so like her.
:37:42
Without pretense.
Childlike and noble.
:37:47
This is like Cinderella's slipper.
:37:49
If I found a letter like this
in the street,
:37:52
I'd do everything in my power
to find the girl who wrote it.
:37:54
That's your only reaction?
:37:58
I'll leave them alone, I promise.
:38:01
But you must give me your word
you'll let me see them again.
:38:03
What are you dragging me into?
:38:06
Why put me in such
an impossible position?
:38:09
How is it my business
whether you love her or you don't?
:38:13
Work out the affairs
of your heart on your own.
:38:16
Can you imagine
the consequences of my kindness
:38:18
if those kind women knew
I was helping carry out your whims?
:38:22
Hélène, you don't understand.
:38:25
This is no mere whim.
:38:30
I love you too much to involve you
in a meaningless love affair.
:38:36
No, Hélène.
:38:38
I love her.
:38:40
I'm losing my head.
I'm capable of anything.
:38:44
Agnès' face is like
a gash across my heart.
:38:47
I meet her in my dreams
and dream of her in my waking hours.
:38:51
I walk the streets thinking of ways
:38:53
to break down her door,
to storm the barriers she's erected,
:38:56
to scream out the pain I feel.
:38:59
And when I've tired myself out,
I turn to counting.
