:24:02
...will you join me in a hot chocolate
and pastry?
:24:06
- I know a delightful spot nearby.
- No, thank you. We...
:24:12
Okay.
:24:13
Good.
:24:15
It's years since I was in Washington,
but I have many fond memories.
:24:20
We'll have lots to talk about.
:24:22
I've never been there.
I'm from La Garenne.
:24:25
I have been there too. Come along!
:24:29
And so, Emilienne, we had not
been married very long...
:24:35
...and she was not all that
sophisticated coming from Provence...
:24:38
...was offered vodka
by the Russian ambassador...
:24:42
...and she, thinking it was water
and following the other guests...
:24:47
...swallowed it straight back.
:24:50
You can't imagine her surprise!
I shall never forget her expression.
:24:59
You were the ambassador
to the United States?
:25:02
I was simply a humble attaché
at the embassy.
:25:05
I didn't become ambassador
until the end of my career.
:25:09
Then it was Liechtenstein.
Delightful spot...
:25:13
...but hardly the top
of the diplomatic ladder.
:25:18
Oh, that's fantastic!
:25:20
What an incredible life
you must have had.
:25:23
Please. Julius.
:25:25
- You make me feel my years less.
- How old are you?
:25:29
No longer young, Daniel.
No longer young.
:25:32
- Your wife Emilienne?
- She has been gone 12 years now...
:25:37
...to this very day.
I was on my way to the cemetery...
:25:41
...when I ran into a large,
round object.
:25:46
A football, I think it is called.
:25:48
- I never saw it.
- I said I was sorry.
:25:51
She won't mind my being a little late.
I go to see her every week...
:25:56
...with all the breath,
smiles and tears of all of my life.
