1:08:13
I would like to apologize.
1:08:16
I sometimes forget that you're
still a child. Now, please...
1:08:20
...don't let that word offend you.
1:08:23
It's merely a short way of saying...
1:08:26
...you're still young enough...
1:08:29
...to pattern your behaviour after
people older than you.
1:08:32
You mean I'm not to blame
for behaving like Raymond?
1:08:35
No, you're not. Or for being influenced
by the way he used to live...
1:08:40
...or the friends he, I hope,
won't see very much of from now on.
1:08:45
The Lombards, for instance.
They telephoned from their yacht.
1:08:50
They're taking us to dinner
and a club Tuesday.
1:08:53
We have to go.
He's your father's business partner.
1:08:56
I think they're very amusing.
They always make me laugh.
1:09:00
There will be risqué stories
deliberately in front of you.
1:09:04
Helen Lombard will make sly and
bitter jokes about her friends and...
1:09:09
...compare Raymond's muscles with
her newest young chauffeur, a nephew.
1:09:15
Henri will confide in Raymond
about his new girl, a model...
1:09:18
...while he rubs your knee
under the table.
1:09:21
Your knee being younger than mine.
1:09:24
In a few years, the nephew-chauffeur
will make off with the car...
1:09:28
...and the latest model
will wear Helen's jewellery.
1:09:31
Friends will laugh at them
rather than at their jokes.
1:09:34
- At least they're having a good time.
- Are they?
1:09:38
Then why do they drink so much
and so often?
1:09:42
Why are they never alone
with each other?
1:09:45
In the end, their only memories
will be of hangovers.
1:09:48
I have another moral, Anne.
1:09:51
If you can't accept people
as they are, give them up.
1:09:54
Don't try to change them.
Besides, it's usually too late.
