:55:02
- While I wait.
- I'm afraid I'm not at leisure...
:55:05
...this precise moment.
:55:08
Leave them with me.
I assure you, they will be safe.
:55:13
I really cannot do that, sir.
:55:16
You see, he doesn't know I'm here.
:55:21
Then he didn't send you?
:55:24
No, sir. This was my own idea.
:55:30
- I see.
- Sir, we're desperate.
:55:34
We really need this job.
:55:37
My husband spends far more
than he can ever earn.
:55:41
I don't mean that he's lazy,
because he works all day long.
:55:45
It's just that he's not practical.
:55:50
Money simply slips through
his fingers. It's ridiculous.
:55:57
Let me offer you some refreshment.
:56:00
Do you know what these are?
:56:03
Capezzoli di Venere!
Nipples of Venus.
:56:08
They're Roman chestnuts in brandied
sugar. Try one. Go on, try one!
:56:13
They're quite surprising.
:56:20
They're wonderful!
:56:24
Thank you very much, Your Excellency.
:56:27
Don't keep calling me that.
:56:30
Keeps me at such a distance.
:56:33
I wasn't born a court composer,
you know.
:56:36
I'm from a small town.
:56:39
Just like your husband.
:56:43
Are you sure you can't...
:56:46
...leave this and come back again?
:56:51
It's very tempting, sir.
:56:54
But it's impossible, I'm afraid.
:56:57
He'd be frantic
if he knew they were missing.
