You're very quiet this evening.
:11:10
Am I? I'm sorry.
:11:13
Don't apologize.
I like quiet people.
:11:16
They're either clever or dull.
:11:19
I would say you're
one of the clever ones.
:11:22
Thank you.
I'd better keep silent.
:11:25
Well, whatever you do,
it's very attractive.
:11:29
- Would you like to dance?
- No. I'd like to sit here
and talk with you.
:11:34
- I regret I speak English so badly.
- You speak it beautifully.
:11:40
I understand
you were born in Shanghai.
:11:42
Yes. But my parents
came from Russia.
:11:46
And now they've moved
to Hong Kong?
:11:48
My parents died in Shanghai
when I was 13.
:11:51
- Haven't you any brothers or sisters?
- I was an only child.
:11:56
Thirteen, a little young
to face the world.
:12:00
We must all face it
sooner or later.
:12:03
Some more sooner.
:12:06
How did you come
to live in Hong Kong?
:12:08
Well, there was another war,
another revolution. So here we are.
:12:13
- But let us talk
of something more cheerful.
- I'm sorry.
:12:19
- Would you like to dance?
- I'd love to.
:12:44
Congratulations, Your Excellency. You
are now a Plenipotentiary Extraordinary.
:12:48
Will you ring for the steward
and have him bring some ice water?
:12:52
Oh.
:12:56
What's this
Plenni-pli-plen-what?
