- Bélu's car.
- And ours?

:03:04
The front is untouched.
:03:06
You promised not to be angry.
:03:10
- Isn't that news?
- Read.

:03:15
And stop interrupting yourself.
:03:18
Yes, darling.
:03:22
"My friend Françoise said:
Marie, you've a lovely voice."

:03:27
And it's a pity that you don't use it.
:03:31
Actually, I've decided to place an ad.
:03:34
- "Pretty voice seeks outlet."
- You think...

:03:37
More modest:
:03:39
"Young lady, educated, loyal,
pretty voice, seeks employment."

:03:45
More sophisticated:
:03:46
"Intelligent young lady,
refined, gifted with pretty voice..."

:03:51
More direct:
"Intelligent, cultured..."

:03:53
Instructor?
:03:56
Protector?
:03:59
Serenader?
:04:01
Reader!
:04:03
"Françoise is sweet, but her naivety
is disheartening. Reader."

:04:08
"In the age of audio-books, she dreams
of duchesses and ladies' maids."

:04:12
"Not at all, said Françoise..."
:04:13
It's different now:
:04:15
Invalids, disabled people,
the old or lonely...

:04:18
Or bachelors.
:04:22
Move.
:04:26
"Bachelors..."
:04:28
"I admit her naivety can be disturbing."
:04:33
"The idea grew until I found myself
in front of the ad man. "

:04:38
"He's sucking on an unlit cigar
and staring at me. "

:04:41
- No advice.
- "He says."

:04:43
But if I was you,
I wouldn't place that ad.

:04:46
- No way.
- Why?

:04:50
"Young lady offers home reading service:
:04:53
"Literature, documents, texts."
:04:56
Phone number. It's asking for trouble.
