:28:01
In an ancient chapel, witnessed
by a handful of strangers,

:28:05
I gave the hand of Maria Vargas into
that of Vincenzo, Count Torlato-Favrini.

:28:37
The servants had their own party,
after the wedding.

:28:40
Nobody can tell me it was like that
when the Borgias got married -

:28:43
more going on outside
the palazzo than inside.

:28:47
Anyway, there were two receptions.
:28:49
And, knowing the bride as I did,
:28:51
I could tell she felt she'd come
to the wrong reception.

:28:55

:29:03
The accordion player is the gardener's
son. The guitar is the gardener.

:29:07
- I do not know who plays the violin.
- Paganini. He's the pastry cook.

:29:12
They must have more guests
than we have.

:29:14
That's as it should be.
Aristocracy only started to collapse

:29:17
when there were
more aristocrats than servants.

:29:20
- And they're having more fun.
- That they are.

:29:25
On my wedding night,
:29:27
I thought you would be happier
for me than you seem to be.

:29:30
Are you happy? Well, then I'm happy.
:29:33
It's just different from what I'd pictured.
I had something corny in mind.

:29:37
Like dancing at your wedding.
Real bashful-boy stuff.

:29:42
Then come dance with me, out there.
We belong out there anyway.

:29:46
Maybe I do. But not you.
Not any more, contessa.

:29:53
Vincenzo, would you object to
dancing with me out there?

:29:56
I would not object to anything
you wanted to do,

:29:58
but I don't think you'd
want to spoil their fun.
