- They came for Philippe.
- Philippe?
:16:04
What for? Did they take him?
:16:07
No, he's safe. But they're still outside
watching the house.
:16:09
See? Hiding there in the doorway.
:16:11
They looked everywhere.
Breaking, smashing things.
:16:14
- lt was dreadful.
- Where is he?
:16:23
Andre, you're dressed very oddly.
Are you in trouble, too?
:16:27
Well, not yet, darling, but it threatens.
:16:30
l've a young lady downstairs in the coach
with an itch to be married.
:16:33
She's made two attempts since breakfast,
and her temper is rising.
:16:44
l've heard of the bridegroom
running for cover...
:16:47
- but never the best man. What happened?

:16:50

:17:11
- That pamphlet is high treason.
- Father, you don't understand.
:17:17
Well, what do you think of it?
:17:18
The grammar is appalling.
On the first page...
:17:21

and left out three commas.
:17:25
lnfinitives, negatives, commas.
:17:27
He prattles punctuation
and France is in agony.
:17:29
ln agony? l wasn't aware of it.

Nothing matters to you.
:17:34
Why do you fight with your best friend
when your own life is in danger?
:17:38
- What's to be done, Andre?
- Marcus Brutus must go into hiding.
:17:42
We've got to get him
out of the city at once.
:17:44
How?
:17:46
l haven't the slightest idea.
:17:49
Unless...
:17:52
Get into this.
:17:53
Listen carefully.
Outside there's a horse and coach.
:17:56
Go boldly out,
mount the box and drive off.
:17:58
No one will question you,
except the lady inside.
