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.

:30:01
But it is our wedding.
Don't they expect us?

:30:04
I imagine they are afraid
we might turn up.

:30:06
It's hard to believe, in this day and age.
:30:09
What makes you think
we live in this day and age?

:30:11
The time has come. Bedtime for
children under 12 and movie directors.

:30:15
I'll see you out.
:30:16
In case I wasn't heard above the hubbub,
once more, I congratulate you.

:30:20
- And me.
- And you.

:30:25
Oh, uh... I've got to say something.
I hope you won't mind.

:30:29
- I won't know until after you've said it.
- My relationship with Maria...

:30:34
It's been a strange one.
I've never known what it was, really.

:30:37
Friend, director, confessor,
part-time amateur psychiatrist.

:30:41
- And, as of now, father of the bride?
- As of now, more like a godfather.

:30:46
A fairy godfather, with a sense of reality.
:30:49
No one could wish for anything more.
:30:51
She's lived her whole life
as a fairy tale, you know?

:30:54
No, I did not know.
:30:56
She's never been in love before.
Take my word for it.

:30:59
She's vulnerable.
Wide open to be hurt badly.
