:24:00
Well, let me put it this way.
:24:02
A young girl, alone,
thrown into the world, gets ill.
:24:07
If it's anything like that,
you can be cured.
:24:09
There's a new drug performing
miracles, curing thousands.
:24:14
If it's anything of that nature
don't be afraid to tell,
:24:16
maybe I can help.
:24:18
I'm an old sinner,
nothing shocks me.
:24:24
It's nothing like that.
:24:26
Are you sure?
:24:28
Positive.
:24:29
But you have been ill?
:24:31
Yes. I was five months
in the hospital with rheumatic fever.
:24:35
Is that all?
Then what are you complaining about?
:24:38
It's ruined my health.
I can't work.
:24:40
What do you work at?
:24:41
I was a dancer.
:24:44
A dancer!
:24:45
A member of the Empire ballet.
:24:49
And I thought you were a...
:24:51
So, you're a ballet dancer.
:24:54
Pardon me, we haven't met formally.
What is your name?
:24:58
Thereza Ambrose.
But I'm called Terry.
:25:02
Charming. How do you do.
I'm also in the business.
:25:05
My name is Calvero.
Perhaps you've heard of me.
:25:09
You're not the great comedian?
:25:11
I was.
However, we won't go into that.
:25:14
Whatever brought you
to this state of affairs?
:25:17
Ill health, mostly.
:25:18
Then we'll have to get you well.
:25:21
It isn't the ideal spot
for convalescing,
:25:25
but you're welcome to it,
:25:27
if you can put up with being
Mrs. Calvero. In name only!
:25:31
It won't inconvenience you?
:25:33
Not at all.
I've had five wives already.
:25:35
One more or less
makes no difference.
:25:37
Moreover, I've arrived at the age
:25:39
where platonic friendship can be
sustained on the highest moral plane.
:25:48
Now let me see, your mother was
a dressmaker and your father a lord?
:25:54
The fourth son of a lord.
That's quite different.
:25:59
How is it he married your mother?
