She was everything to me,
supported me, had me taught dancing.

:43:06
Then one day I realized
what she was doing.

:43:09
I was coming home from dancing
with the other girls

:43:11
and I saw her, and the other girls
saw her, walking the street.

:43:16
What did you do?
:43:19
I just ran and wept.
:43:21
Ran and wept.
:43:24
Then what happened?
:43:26
I tried to forget.
:43:28
I was sent to boarding school. At 16,
I left and joined the Empire Ballet.

:43:32
Louise went to South America.
I haven't heard from her since.

:43:37
Up to that time,
you had no trouble with your legs?

:43:40
No.
:43:42
When did it start?
:43:44
About two years later.
After Melise joined the ballet.

:43:49
Who's Melise?
:43:50
One of the girls
from the dancing school.

:43:52
One who was with you
when you found out about Louise?

:43:58
Mr. Freud would say
that since meeting this girl again,

:44:01
you don't want to dance.
:44:03
Why?
:44:04
You've associated it
with the unhappy life of your sister

:44:07
who paid for your lessons
through a life of shame.

:44:10
You've been ashamed to dance
ever since.

:44:13
I'd despise myself
if I thought that.

:44:15
That's the trouble, you do.
:44:17
That's the trouble with the world.
We all despise ourselves.

:44:23
Streetwalking!
:44:27
We're all grubbing for a living,
the best of us.

:44:30
All a part of the human crusade,
:44:34
written in water.
:44:36
But enough of that.
:44:38
Ever been in love?
:44:40
No, not really.
:44:43
I think it was more
a feeling of pity.

:44:45
The plot thickens.
Tell me about it.

:44:48
It's a ridiculous story.
I hardly knew the man.

:44:52
It was something I built up
in my own mind.

:44:55
It was after I came out
of the hospital.

:44:58
I took a job
at Sardou's stationary shop.
