Eté, André, born May 25, 1903
in Marbouie (Eure et Loire).

:27:06
Age: 62... Present occupation:
motion picture extra.

:27:11
Let's tell stories.
:27:13
The right words may move them.
:27:14
- What stories?
- Anything at all.

:27:16
The Fall of Constantinople, or the story
of Nicolas De Stael and his suicide.

:27:21
Or the one about William Wilson:
:27:23
He saw his double in the street
and wouldn't rest till he'd killed him.

:27:27
When it was done,
he realized he'd killed himself,

:27:31
and it was his double who was left.
:27:33
OK, maybe they'll give us some money.
:27:36
Marianne had the eyes
of both Romeo and Juliet,

:27:39
so she told them about William
of Orange's nephew, Vivien,

:27:42
who died fighting 30,000 Saracens.
:27:47
He bled from 1,000 wounds and he fought
alone, for he'd sworn not to retreat.

:27:52
Oh, young and gentle nephew,
why such a mad, noble oath?

:27:57
Ferdinand told them
the story of Guynemer,

:28:00
but they didn't listen.
:28:02
Then he spoke of the summer,
:28:05
and of how lovers
crave the warm night air.

:28:09
He spoke of man, and the seasons,
and unexpected encounters.

:28:14
But he told them never to ask
which came first,

:28:18
words or things...
nor what comes next.

:28:22
I feel alive,
and that is all that matters.

:28:49
I've got an idea!
:28:53
We'll fake an accident.
