:41:01
For our friends who do not
speak French, l will explain.
:41:05
This fete began over
1 ,000 years ago,
:41:09
when l was just a small boy.
:41:13
And these strange hats--
:41:15
Well, they must be worn by all
the young ladies
:41:18
who are over 25 and unmarried.
:41:22
You are over 25?
:41:24
l love Paris. lt's so insincere.
:41:29
Thank you.
:41:30
Now, St. Catherine insists, of course,
that these ladies
:41:34
must be unspoiled, untouched,
virgin.
:41:43
But wait, wait.
:41:45
We are all, in France, gentlemen.
:41:48
And any young lady
who is 25 years old,
:41:51
and she's not married, well, naturally,
we will take your word for it.
:41:57
Vive la France!
:42:01
Now, now, all of you young ladies
:42:04
will go to place flowers on the shrine
of St. Catherine.
:42:08
And you will make your wish
for a husband.
:42:11
Hey, hey. Hey. Suppose a girl
doesn't want a husband?
:42:14
Or a romance, or anything?
:42:17
This is a day of love, mademoiselle.
:42:20
And love, whatever you may think,
at least in Paris,
:42:23
is becoming very popular.
:42:27
So let me tell you a little about it,
:42:30
to say as well as l can remember it.
:42:33
And you know, mademoiselle,
l remember it well.
:42:36
When you have anything as lovely
to remember,
:42:40
when you are my age, as Mimi.
:42:43
You funny, little, good-for-nothing Mimi
Am l the guy?
:42:48
You see? Everyone else
remembers.
:42:53
Mimi, Gigi, Valentine.
:42:57
l assure you, my stubborn friend.
:42:59
lf l had my life to live over again,
l wouldn't have the strength.
