:22:01
May I ask what the owner
of such a heart does in life?
:22:06
If I told you,
you wouldn't believe me.
:22:10
I write plays in my spare time.
:22:16
You're an author.
:22:18
An unrecognized author, no doubt.
:22:21
Yes, unrecognized.
But I have no regrets.
:22:25
I write light pieces,
but nowadays people prefer tragedies.
:22:30
I'm fond of one of my plays, though.
:22:33
A short piece
full of joy and sadness.
:22:37
Two lovers are parted, reunited,
:22:40
then parted again.
:22:42
The setting, all in soft green:
a garden, a fountain.
:22:48
Interesting!
:22:49
But tell me...
:22:52
now that we're acquainted...
:22:54
was this money business
really a matter of life and death?
:22:59
Yes. For you.
:23:02
For me?
:23:04
Had you been so foolhardy
as to refuse...
:23:09
I can assure you the blade
doesn't retract into the handle.
:23:13
You think Frederick
wouldn't resist?
:23:16
I didn't come here alone.
:23:28
Incredible!
Like a scene from the play!
:23:33
- Happy now?
- I sure am.
:23:37
This imbecile is
a great admirer of yours.
:23:40
- The thought of...
- I felt sick.
:23:43
No, really?
How nice.
:23:46
So there are decent folks
in every trade.
:23:50
So, did you enjoy the play?
:23:53
Don't ask.
The boy is shy about his feelings.
:23:57
But you were there tonight?
:23:59
- Well?
- Interesting.
