...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.
1:41:02
The best part's on the other side.
Turn it over and read it.
1:41:06
Read it aloud. I'm not a poet like you,
Andersen,
1:41:09
but once in a while,
even a fool like me can speak of love.
1:41:14
Are you pleased, my darling?
Read it for me.
1:41:18
Not now, Niels. Later.
1:41:20
You're not shy suddenly? Never mind.
You can do anything you wish.
1:41:24
She danced like an angel.
I could cover you with kisses.
1:41:28
Please don't, Niels.
1:41:30
Haven't you forgiven me?
Andersen has, I'm sure.
1:41:34
She was furious at me for locking you up,
but no harm has been done.
1:41:38
It's even rather amusing.
Don't you look so stern, my dear.
1:41:41
You were laughing about it yourself.
1:41:44
Don't tell me I didn't hear you laughing -
I did. Even under the covers.
1:41:48
- Be quiet.
- What's the matter with you, Doro?
1:41:52
Hans, it doesn't matter
why you wrote the story for me.
1:41:56
It's a beautiful story, whatever the reason.
