:31:03
Besides, l don't mind telling you
l had planned only to live till l was 80.
:31:09
Now l am 82. lf l'm not going to die,
l must start saving money for my old age.
:31:15
You're very wise.
:31:20
You like it?
Yes. lt's charming.
:31:28
Nickie?
Yes. He did that a long time ago.
:31:31
But it's very good!
:31:34
He is very talented.
:31:37
Forgive me. You see,
l had no means of knowing.
:31:40
Unfortunately, he's also very critical.
:31:44
The artist in him would create.
The critic would destroy.
:31:48
As a result, he has done nothing since.
What a pity.
:31:52
Besides, he's been too busy
''living'', as they call it.
:31:57
May l?
Oh, thank you, my dear.
:32:01
There.
:32:04
lt has been such a tremendous
excitement for me, this visit.
:32:09
l am trying to appear calm.
:32:11
Don't you think l do pretty well?
You do wonderfully well.
:32:18
There we are.
Thank you.
:32:21
l love Nicolo so much.
:32:25
When he was a small boy,
he charmed us all with his piano playing.
:32:30
Then he studied painting.
:32:33
And the worst of it is
he's so good at everything.
:32:36
Ajack of all talents?
:32:38
Everything comes too easily to him.
:32:42
He's always attracted by
the art he isn't practising,
:32:46
the place he hasn't been,
the girl he hasn't met.
:32:51
Perhaps l shouldn't have met him.
:32:55
No, my dear. You are different.
:32:59
l don't mind confessing to you
l have been worried about him.
