Hans, the cobbler. You know?
1:38:05
I wonder if he was even there. Do you
suppose he was there and was too shy...

1:38:10
- Good heavens!
- I thought you were fast asleep.

1:38:13
- The cobbler's locked in the prop room!
- What are you talking about?

1:38:18
I locked him up last night,
just before the performance. I had to.

1:38:22
He insisted on giving you some shoes
five minutes before the ballet began.

1:38:27
He never saw the ballet?
You kept him locked up?

1:38:29
- I forgot, I tell you.
- You big fool!

1:38:32
I had other things to think about just then!
1:38:35
Quickly, CĂ©line. Go to the theatre
and bring him back here.

1:38:39
That poor dear man!
1:38:42
And you, you monster,
you'd better stay under there.

1:38:46
Try popping your head out
and see what you get.

1:38:49
The lamp over it, I promise you!
1:38:58
Oh, Hans.
1:39:00
I shall call you Hans. What a dreadful
thing to have happened! Are you all right?

1:39:05
It's just like him to have done
such a thing. Come.

1:39:10
Sit down.
1:39:12
- Would you like a cup of chocolate?
- No, thank you.

1:39:15
You missed seeing the ballet.
We will do it again two nights from now,

1:39:19
and you will see it then.
1:39:21
- But I did see the ballet.
- You did?

1:39:24
- Yes.
- How?

1:39:25
- I thought you were...
- I was, but I could hear the music.

1:39:29
I knew the story the music was telling.
1:39:31
I didn't have to see you dance
with my eyes.

1:39:34
Oh, Hans, how very dear you are,
1:39:37
and how I love to dance it.
1:39:40
I don't know quite why. It's very strange.
1:39:43
Even when we rehearsed it,
I felt something sad and tender.

1:39:47
- I don't know why.
- I know why.

1:39:51
You do? Tell me.
1:39:54
- I think it was your answer.
- My answer?

1:39:57
I let my heart speak to you
with the story, and...
