:38:02
A dangerous melancholy
draws me close to you...

:38:05
but my battles separate us.
:38:08
My laughter is the sun.
:38:10
It drives away the shadows
you cast on me.

:38:13
I seek out the daggers of the night.
I set up barricades.

:38:17
My laughter locks me in.
It draws me away from you.

:38:23
- You are beautiful.
- You are beautiful too.

:38:27
Be quiet.
:38:29
We mustn't lose ourselves
in an all too perfect unity.

:38:33
Set your hounds and wolves on me!
:38:35
To what avail?
:38:37
Every fight crowns you
with a painful glow.

:38:42
Don't lose courage. Work!
:39:14
I love him.
The officers all bore me.

:39:18
Why can't I be a sailor?
:39:20
I remain standing in the wind.
:39:23
Cold and headache
clamp my forehead...

:39:25
and crown me
with an iron tiara.

:39:29
I am growing and melting.
:39:35
A naval officer.
:39:37
When I was a young man,
even when I chose this career...

:39:42
I didn't realize what a perfect alibi
a naval career provides.

:39:47
It justifies celibacy.
:39:49
Women don't ask,
"Why aren't you married?"

:39:52
They pity you for knowing
only the transient affairs...

:39:57
and never the true love.
