I take it that you haven't
any uncles of your own.

:58:04
No uncles, no aunts,
no cousins...

:58:06
no brothers,
no sisters, no nothing.

:58:08
- Isn't there anyone who-
- Oh, it's a very sad story.

:58:12
My father and mother were the duc
and duchesse de Monchartres...

:58:15
and they both died
before I was born.

:58:17
- Both.
- Yes.

:58:19
It was during a typhoon.
:58:21
Our yacht overturned
in the Sargasso Sea...

:58:24
and I was
the only survivor.

:58:27
Hmm.
:58:31
- If you don't believe my story,
I have several others...

:58:33
which are much more interesting.
:58:36
I'm sure you have.
:58:42
I only tell the stories
because nobody believes the truth.

:58:48
Would you like to dance now?
:58:50
Uh, yes. l- I would.
:59:00
Uh...
:59:02
would you tell me
what the truth is?

:59:05
Yes. I have a guardian.
:59:07
I see. Now, what
sort of man is he?

:59:09
Oh, he's tall
and very skinny.

:59:12
He always walks with a cane,
and he's bald up here.

:59:16
But he has a lovely fringe
of white hair all around.

:59:19
- All around?
- Uh-huh.

:59:21
Sounds perfectly stunning.
:59:23
Oh, don't you make fun of him.
I love him very much.

:59:26
- When I get out of college, I'm going to live with him.
- Huh?

:59:29
- You are?
- Yes.

:59:31
But it's a surprise. He doesn't know it yet.
I have it all planned.

:59:35
I'm going to read aloud to him
and plump his pillows...

:59:38
and warm up his slippers...
:59:40
and always make sure he wears
his galoshes when he goes out.

:59:43
From the way you describe him...
:59:45
I don't think he'll be going out very often.
:59:48
Oh, well. He's not a boy anymore.
:59:51
That is, uh,
probably true. Uh-

:59:54
Does he ever come
to see you?

:59:58
- No.
- Well, why not?
