:19:02
God bless you, Andre.
:19:07
And now for the stuff
that makes fools of princes...
:19:09
and princes of fools. Money.
:19:12
Andre, you be careful what you do.
:19:14
Precisely my intention.
l go now to consult my attorney...
:19:17
the eminent lawyer Fabian.
:19:21
ls this the bald pate of the lawyer Fabian?
:19:26
Yes.
:19:29
- Moreau, l can't see you.
- You must be shortsighted. l'm here.
:19:33
Be good enough to make out an advance
on my allowance for next year, say half.
:19:38
Next year's allowance? lmpossible!
:19:40
Figaro, you may leave us.
:19:45
But there is no more money. None at all.
:19:48
- Didn't you get my letter?
- l never read letters.
:19:50
But l wrote and told you
the allowance has been stopped.
:19:54
Stopped?
:19:55
The gentleman is no longer able
to provide for your welfare.
:19:58
Put that thing down and get out of here.
:20:00
l shall go to this gentleman
and extract the allowance in person.
:20:04
- What is his name?
- His name?
:20:06
lmpossible.
:20:08
You know l can't do that, Andre.
:20:12
l know nothing at all!
:20:16
For 30-odd years...
:20:18
l have made a profession of ignorance with
particular reference to my real name...
:20:22
my obscure beginnings,
and my mysterious birth.
:20:25
lf you fidget, l may draw blood.
You're making me nervous. Where was l?
:20:28
Yes, my birth.
:20:30
Being adequately financed
by whoever was responsible...
:20:33
for my arrival in what is termed
"the wrong side of the blanket"...
:20:36
l was content
to be ignorant of my parentage.
:20:39
But now l need money.
:20:42
lt is at this moment
that my elusive papa concludes...
:20:46
that his duty is done...
:20:48
and that there should be
no more cakes and ale...
:20:51
for his mischievous youth.
:20:54
A lamentable conclusion in any event,
but at this moment, deplorably timed.
:20:58
We must therefore face the fact...
