:54:02
You only like serious music.
:54:04
Sadly, our tastes differ.
:54:07
May I ask where you spent
the evening?
:54:10
At the Funambules.
:54:12
Again!
:54:13
And you,
at those ghastly animal fights.
:54:17
"Ghastly" is too strong a word.
:54:19
A mangy bear tossed like a bone
to three mastiffs.
:54:23
It wasn't sport, but butchery.
A most dreary evening.
:54:27
And the Funambules?
:54:30
I won't be going back again.
:54:32
I'm delighted.
:54:34
Don't belittle the Funambules.
:54:37
You forget we met there.
:54:39
Which no doubt explains
your pious nightly pilgrimage?
:54:45
No, my friend.
:54:46
The contrary would surprise me.
:54:48
May I know the name of that man
who just left?
:54:52
Were you at the Funambules
with him?
:54:56
That man?
:54:58
Oh, him.
:55:00
An old acquaintance.
He came to say hello.
:55:02
A most peculiar individual.
What does he do?
:55:06
He writes.
:55:08
To be honest, when I knew him,
he was also a thief,
:55:11
and a bit of a murderer.
:55:13
I hope there was nothing
:55:18
between you and this individual.
:55:19
I trust you entirely.
:55:21
That does you no credit.
I've never had occasion to lie to you.
:55:26
True enough.
:55:27
But please oblige me by seeing
such people as seldom as possible.
:55:31
Actors, perhaps,
:55:34
but thieves, murderers...
isn't that rather appalling?
:55:37
Remember the young Scot
you challenged to a duel in Edinburgh?
:55:43
I remember quite well.
Why?
:55:45
He wasn't nearly
as good a shot as you.
:55:49
Of course.
Everyone knew it.
:55:52
But you killed him anyway.
:55:54
Feelings, Garance,
in an affair of honor!
:55:57
All because I smiled at him.
:55:59
Yes.
In public, and frequently.
