A very interesting subject
- at least for you, dear girl.
:44:07
- Why did you break with the count?
- He threatened me with a poker.
:44:13
That was very naughty of the count.
:44:16
- In all probability he had his reasons.
- For once I really was innocent.
:44:22
It must have been
early in the evening.
:44:25
- And what did you do?
- I hit him on the head with the poker.
:44:30
- What did the count say then?
- We elected to part amicably.
:44:34
Very wise. A former lover with whom
one is on friendly terms can be useful.
:44:40
- What were we talking about?
- What we were talking about.
:44:44
It was different in my day. Your father
once threw me out of a window.
:44:50
- Was it open?
- No, closed.
:44:53
I fell straight onto a lieutenant-colonel.
:44:56
- He later became your father.
- You said my father threw you out.
:44:59
He became your father later, I said.
:45:03
- My God, I loved him so!
- Which of them?
:45:08
He who threw me out of the window!
:45:11
The other one was a dolt. He never
could think of anything fun to do.
:45:15
Why don't you write your memoirs?
:45:18
I was given this estate on the promise
of not writing my memoirs.
:45:25
- I want you to give a party for me.
- I don't remember promising you that.
:45:31
Just this once, dear Mother, say yes.
:45:35
Well, bring me the invitation cards.
:45:38
Who are we inviting? lf it's actors,
they'll have to eat in the stable.
:45:43
The Count and Countess Malcolm.
Mr Egerman, the lawyer -
:45:47
- his wife and his son Henrik.
:45:51
- I see. And what are your intentions?
- I mean to do a good deed.
:45:55
Beware of good deeds!
They cost far too much.
