1:11:00
I can feel it.
1:11:03
Sit down, Gaston.
1:11:14
Please.
1:11:20
Gaston, you know my friendship for you.
1:11:23
My friendship and my gratitude.
1:11:26
But I must not forget my duty.
1:11:28
Gigi's mother has neither the time
nor the mind to take care of her.
1:11:33
And Gigi isn't just another girl.
She's special.
1:11:37
Of course.
1:11:38
For years, you've been giving her
candies and trinkets...
1:11:41
...and she adores you.
1:11:43
Now you want to take her in your
automobile to the Reservoirs for tea.
1:11:48
If it were just you and I,
I would say:
1:11:50
"Take Gigi wherever you want."
I would trust her with you anywhere.
1:11:54
But there are others, Gaston.
You are known everywhere.
1:11:58
For a woman to
go out with you alone now...
1:12:00
...with the eyes of Paris on you...
1:12:03
Are you trying to make me believe...
1:12:05
...that if Gigi goes out with me,
she'll be compromised?
1:12:08
Let us say she would be labeled.
1:12:11
A young girl who goes out with you
is no longer an ordinary young girl.
1:12:15
Not even a respectable young girl.
1:12:17
Mamita, this is absurd.
1:12:20
As far as you are concerned,
it would be just another news item.
1:12:23
But in this case, I would not
have the heart to laugh...
1:12:26
...when I read it in the newspapers.
1:12:28
This is too ridiculous
to discuss any further.
1:12:31
I don't want to contradict you,
and I don't want to argue about it.
1:12:35
If you feel you're protecting Gigi
from some cruel fate...
1:12:38
...that's your affair.
1:12:39
I understand responsibility to Gigi
better than you.
1:12:43
I'll do all I can to entrust her
only to a man who'll be able to say:
1:12:47
"I'll take care of her.
I'll answer for her future."
1:12:57
Now, can I get you
your chamomile tea, Gaston?
