:14:00
Don't be silly! I don't have
to attract society, I manufacture it!
:14:04
I want you to meet
my guest of honour. David!
:14:07
This is Feruccio,
31st Baron of Ravallo,
:14:10
and his adorable fianc?, Taffy Lou.
:14:13
I'm responsible
for bringing them together.
:14:15
You're in the movies, Mr Korvo?
:14:17
No.
:14:18
Mr Korvo reads souls, guides human
destinies with the aid of the stars
:14:23
and makes fortunes for other people
at a nominal fee.
:14:27
How wonderful! I have always admired
fortune-tellers.
:14:31
- I am not quite a fortune-teller.
- He's a genius!
:14:33
Before you go, you must attend
one of his lectures on hypnotism.
:14:36
Nor am I quite a hypnotist.
:14:39
I use a number of sciences in my
experiments with the human family.
:14:42
For instance, you, Baron,
are obviously born in November,
:14:45
late November. Yes? Sagittarius.
:14:47
How do you know that?
:14:49
You are also a hyperthyroidic type
:14:51
and from the droop of your eyelids
and your overstressed speech,
:14:55
with a manic depressive tendency.
:14:57
Adding up these informations,
we get a man of violent temper,
:15:01
suffering from fits of melancholia,
:15:03
who in the past year
has been preoccupied with suicide.
:15:06
But how can you know? I have spoken
to nobody except my Taffy Lou.
:15:10
How do stars tell you that?
:15:12
Not the stars, my eyes.
They, too, are a science.
:15:17
The cut is only recently healed.
A bad one.
:15:20
This man is marvellous!
:15:22
You mustn't move a step from now on
without consulting him.
:15:25
I'll arrange everything! I'll bring
him to Italy for your wedding!
:15:28
All it will cost you is expenses
for David and me in Rome.
:15:31
A pleasure!
:15:33
You make us sound like pickpockets,
which is unfair to one of us.
:15:36
- Drink, Ann?
- Yes, please?
:15:38
Arrivederci. I hope your new marriage
gives you something to live for.
:15:42
If only a divorce.
:15:44
A pure canasta, boys!
:15:48
This will help your headache.
:15:50
- Does it show?
- Not much. A squint in your eyes.
:15:54
How could you tell the Baron
was born in November?
:15:58
Taffy Lou's my prot??.
I interviewed her before the party.
