:59:00
"What's wrong? Is he ill?"
:59:03
I even saw a doctor for them.
:59:06
- What did he say?
- That I was fit as a fiddle.
:59:10
"Mild depression, overwork.
It's nothing!"
:59:13
And what was his prescription?
:59:16
"Go see Baptiste.
He'll cheer you up."
:59:20
What if I don't want to cheer up?
:59:24
- What's today?
- Thursday.
:59:28
Tonight's the premiere
of Othello, with Mr Frederick.
:59:32
You should go.
It will cheer you up.
:59:34
Oh, sorry!
:59:37
Othello would make
a nice pantomime.
:59:41
A man kills his beloved
:59:44
and it kills him, poor man!
:59:48
A sad, absurd tale,
like so many others.
:59:52
Like mine or yours,
Madame Hermine.
:59:55
You spend your empty days
in your empty rooms
:59:59
with your poor empty heart.
1:00:04
It's all so sad and absurd.
1:00:07
Like me.
1:00:09
Years ago,
I stood here by this bed,
1:00:13
in this very room.
1:00:17
And she stood there,
smiling, happy,
1:00:22
so lovely in the fresh night air.
1:00:25
And she said,
1:00:27
"Love is so simple."
1:00:30
And I didn't listen!
1:00:33
I didn't take her in my arms!
1:00:35
I set conditions:
"Love me as I love you."
1:00:39
And I shut the door,
1:00:40
forever, between my love and me.
1:00:46
What are you doing here?
1:00:48
I'm talking to myself.
Not to you.
1:00:52
Forgive me.
I didn't mean to be unpleasant.
1:00:56
You've helped me
and been so discreet.
