:20:00
The young miss...
:20:04
has become very pretty.
:20:08
It's been such a long time...
:20:12
since I had the pleasure...
:20:15
But what can I do for you?
:20:19
You may speak frankly.
:20:23
We are in
an embarrassing situation.
:20:27
Geneviève helps me
as much as she can.
:20:31
It has nothing to do with her.
:20:33
But I have heavy expenses
and I thought...
:20:36
Well...
I have a payment to meet
:20:39
and if I don't,
consequences will be dire.
:20:42
So I come to you
as to my savior...
:20:48
I hesitated a long time,
and Geneviève,
:20:51
who is the voice
of wisdom and reason,
:20:54
persuaded me...
:20:56
It breaks my heart
:20:58
to be forced to give up
:21:01
this jewel, which to me
represents...
:21:07
I understand, dear Madame,
:21:09
but my business is risky
:21:12
and I take many risks...
:21:14
At best, I can put
your necklace up for sale,
:21:17
but for much less
than its real worth.
:21:24
I cannot buy it myself.
:21:28
Couldn't you at least
give me an advance?
:21:31
Nothing, I told you.
We can do nothing.
:21:43
Don't insist, Mother.
:21:46
This is a disaster.
:21:50
Excuse me, I am interested.
I will buy this jewel.
:21:56
I can save you
from your predicament.
:21:59
Allow me to introduce myself.
