Slowly, Gigi. Slowly.
:17:06
The racing season is over.
:17:09
Good day, Aunt Alicia.
:17:10
Now let's go into luncheon.
:17:13
Yes, Aunt Alicia.
:17:15
Today you will learn to eat ortolans.
:17:36
What are ortolans, Aunt?
:17:38
Exquisite little birds.
:17:40
Most people attack them like cannibals.
:17:43
You must learn to eat them properly.
:17:45
Bad table manners...
:17:47
...have broken up more households
than infidelity.

:17:56
Did you work hard in school today?
What did you study?

:18:00
History.
:18:01
Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.
:18:03
How depressing.
:18:05
- What else?
- English.

:18:07
English?
I suppose we must.

:18:10
They refuse to learn French.
:18:13
Who are your friends?
:18:15
Ortolans should be cut in two
with a quick stroke of the knife.

:18:21
There must be no grating
of the blade on the plate.

:18:28
Now bite up each piece.
:18:37
The bones don't matter.
:18:39
Go on eating while you
answer my questions.

:18:42
But don't talk with your mouth full.
:18:44
Well, you can do it.
If I can do it, you can.

:18:47
What friends have you made?
:18:51
None.
:18:53
I'm always on my own.
:18:57
Why does Grandmama stop me
from accepting invitations?
