to purchase aII manner of things
for her honeymoon in ItaIy...

:06:06
her true character reveaIed itseIf.
:06:08
OnIy the most eIegant things wouId do...
:06:10
and she wouId renounce
aII idea of the second-best.

:06:14
Second-best meant nothing to her anymore.
:06:18
She knew how to do without things...
:06:21
and in forgoing things Iike that,
she seemed undemanding.

:06:25
But when she reaIIy
set her heart on something...

:06:28
it had to be quite exceptionaI...
:06:31
and in that respect, she was demanding.
:07:12
What else have you set your heart on?
:07:15
-Nothing, Mama.
-Nothing at all?

:07:17
Nothing, quite seriously.
:07:21
But if there were something....
:07:26
Well?
:07:29
lt would be a black Japanese screen...
:07:32
with golden birds on it...
:07:34
with long bills like cranes.
:07:38
And a lamp for our bedroom
that would radiate a red light.

:07:46
Now you're silent and look at me...
:07:49
as if l'd said something improper.
:07:52
No, Effi, not improper...
:07:54
and certainly not to your mother.
:07:57
l know you too well.
:07:59
You have a great imagination...
