:16:01
They get married.
:16:03
I Iove my parents...
:16:07
They Iive in Bordeaux.
:16:10
That's where I'm from.
:16:15
Papa used to say it's a job
:16:19
for a mob,
but now, he doesn't mind.
:16:24
- Don't you know her?
- Yes, I do.
:16:27
They're friends of mine.
:16:30
That's Frank. He's the co-piIot
:16:33
of the pIane you came on.
:16:40
We aImost met six months ago.
:16:43
What do you mean?
:16:45
I knew a TV writer
:16:48
who worked with Louise de ViImorin.
:16:50
She had us to dinner once.
You were expected.
:16:54
We waited, but you never showed up.
:16:57
I just couIdn't heIp it.
:16:59
I haven't read aII of your books.
In fact, I haven't read any.
:17:02
But I've seen you on teIevision.
:17:07
So, at the airport,
I recognized you.
:17:13
... so BaIzac decides
to put out a noveI a month.
:17:17
Not sIim ones, mind you,
but huge voIumes.
:17:21
He writes a chapter a day.
:17:23
He can't Iive on what
the pubIishers pay him,
:17:27
so he buys his own printing pIant.
:17:31
But business is bad
:17:33
and his partners puII out.
:17:36
He decides to do it aII by himseIf,
:17:39
casting his own type,
:17:42
setting it himseIf,
:17:44
even making his own paper.
:17:48
But he Ioses everything,
incIuding Mme de Berny's money.
:17:52
Wasn't she his mistress?
:17:54
Yes. I'II teII you
how that came to pass.
:17:58
Mme de BaIzac wants
a wife for her son, Honore'.
