:13:00
I mean to say, in London half of them
have actually got-- latin lovers ?
:13:07
And where do you live-- above,
behind or below your shop ?
:13:12
I lease a mews house nearby.
It's convenient and attractive.
:13:16
It's Georgian, actually.
:13:18
From Genoa to Georgian in a single
generation, eh ? Not bad.
:13:21
But I doubt whether an 18th century
architectural gem in South Kensington...
:13:26
whispers quite the same magic
to Marguerite as it does to you.
:13:29
She adores old houses.
She can't wait to live in it.
:13:32
I understood she already was living
in it, once or twice a week at least.
:13:35
I'm not mistaken, am I ?
:13:40
And that your motive in renting the cottage
down here was to increase the incidence...
:13:43
of this biweekly coupling.
- Is that what you asked me
over here to chat about ?
:13:46
Never speak ill of the deadly.
:13:50
If I choose to say that my wife
converses like a child of six...
:13:55
and makes love like an extinct
shellfish, I shall,
:13:57
and I don't need to ask her lover's
permission to do so either.
:14:00
- Thank you for the drink.
- Oh, my. Now, now, I thought
you were brought up in England.
:14:04
Surely you know it's not done to be rude.
:14:06
You were being rude about
a woman I'm in love with.
:14:09
- On the contrary. I was
reminiscing about my wife.
- It comes to the same thing.
:14:13
Things mostly do, you know. I'll
wager that in a year's time...
:14:16
it'll be you who'll be being rude about
Marguerite and I who'll be being rhapsodic,
:14:19
having quite forgotten how
intolerably tiresome, vain,
spendthrift, self-indulgent...
:14:25
and generally bloody crafty she really is !
:14:30
Can you afford to take her off my hands ?
:14:39
- "Afford to" ?
- Support her in the style to
which she was not accustomed...
:14:43
before she met me, but now is.
:14:46
Well, I'm not a millionaire,
but I'm not starving either.
:14:50
The shop in London's doing all right. The
one in Brighton is almost breaking even.
:14:54
- By this time next year--
- This year, next year, sometime, never.
:14:56
What you're really saying is
that at present, you're skint.
