:00:00
The rest of us had
run out of conversation.
:00:01
After all, we hadn't seen
each other since cocktails,
:00:04
and we hadn't eaten together since lunch.
:00:07
Lulu was trying to work up
interest in a word game.
:00:11
It's not easy with people
who know just enough words
:00:13
to tell room service what they want.
:00:16
It's really very simple, Your Highness.
:00:18
You write the long word
on top of the page,
:00:21
and under it, you write all of the short
words you can make out of the long one.
:00:26
Oh.
:00:27
For the long word, let's use "vicissitudes".
:00:29
Is that actually a word?
:00:31
V-i-c-i-s-s-i-t-u-d-e-s.
:00:34
It's changes, fluctuations,
like the vicissitudes of life.
:00:38
How clever of you, my dear.
:00:40
- J'ai besoin de champagne.
- Did you say something, Your Majesty?
:00:44
- I shall require more champagne.
"- Mais certainement." Oscar.
:00:58
- More of the same for the king.
- Yes, sir.
:01:00
- What news from the gaming table?
- Good. Alberto is having a fantastic bank.
:01:05
It's about time. Last night that Greek took
him for a whole South American jungle.
:01:09
You know, off the screen, I don't think
I've seen you laugh before.
:01:13
- I feel good tonight.
- Every night's like every other night.
:01:16
- No, not tonight.
- What's different?
:01:18
I don't know. Something
in the way my heart beats.
:01:22
As if something very good
were going to come out of tonight.
:01:29
Something's coming, all right,
but it's not good. He's mad.
:01:32
I've seen him like this before.
He's half-crazy when he gets like this.
:01:48
How do I find the words
to tell you what you are?
:01:51
To begin with, a thief. You took
money from me when I was playing.
:01:55
When I was winning. It changed my luck.
:01:57
You have cost me millions of francs.
