My darling, was I cruel today?
:44:02
Oh, you were, my friend. You were indeed.
:44:06
I was almost in tears.
:44:08
- Doro, I'm sorry.
- Niels, don't be sorry.

:44:12
It's just as it should be.
Don't you see that, my angel?

:44:16
Professionally, we fight like two tigers,
but afterwards...

:44:21
That's what makes it so good afterwards.
:44:26
Isn't it good now?
:44:28
It's wonderful. Why do I forget that
the minute you start to dance?

:44:33
Then I see only my mortal enemy -
the ballerina - in front of me.

:44:36
Because the ballet is your life,
just as it is mine.

:44:40
Don't you think I sometimes forget
you are my husband when I am dancing,

:44:44
and want to kill you
for some of the things you say?

:44:48
You really want to kill me?
:44:50
Of course I do. Isn't that as it should be?
:44:54
I would hate it any other way,
wouldn't you?

:44:57
Oh, Niels, we are lucky,
and I do love you so.

:45:13
I'm sorry about the shoes. I will behave
beautifully this afternoon, you will see.

:45:19
- Sorry about the shoes?
- There was nothing wrong with them.

:45:24
I just did that to torment you.
:45:27
Oh, you did?
:45:30
I know exactly how to torment you,
don't I, darling?

:45:33
And you look so wonderfully poetic
when you are in a rage, my dear.

:45:38
Never mind how I look. So you just made
up that little bit about the shoes, huh?

:45:43
But you were being terrible.
You deserved it.

:45:46
You let everyone sit around
while you took your petty revenge?

:45:50
You forget what you said in front
of the entire company about my dancing?

:45:55
No, I don't. I remember every word of it.
:45:57
- I was right!
- Oh, you were?
