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...

1:40:02
...last night, you answered me with yours.
1:40:06
Hans, tell me something. How did you
come to write that story for me?

1:40:12
How else could I tell you how I felt?
1:40:15
That I knew how miserable
you were with him?

1:40:18
Miserable? With my husband?
1:40:20
Yes, I don't think you knew I was there,
but I saw the way he treated you.

1:40:25
I saw him slap you.
1:40:28
I heard you cry.
1:40:32
Oh, Hans...
1:40:35
- How else could a cobbler speak to you?
- It's arrived, my darling. It's here!

1:40:40
Good morning, Andersen. Your present,
angel. My apologies for last night.

1:40:45
You must forgive me. It was your ballet
I was thinking of, not you.

1:40:49
Did you tell him what a great success
it was? For a great lady of the ballet.

1:40:56
Open it! We shall be poor for the next
year, but I had to have it for you.
