:08:02
My husband has his work,
his amusements.
:08:07
Eric isn't lonely,
he has lots of friends.
:08:10
But when I saw your ad, I thought...
:08:16
Well, I thought that a person...
:08:20
You thought that having
a different person read to him
:08:23
might entertain him.
:08:26
You were right.
:08:28
- Eric loves novels. Do you?
- I do. Do you?
:08:32
Yes, life here is so peaceful...
:08:35
"Yet peacefully.
Charlemagne and his knights"
:08:37
"Left the mountain. Forgetting fights"
:08:40
That's grandfather.
:08:45
He adores poetry.
:08:48
- Your fee?
- "Irredeemable idiot. I'd forgotten."
:08:51
- "If I tell her..."
- I'm working on them.
:08:55
"Professionalism pays. I assure her
that we will reach an agreement. "
:09:00
- May I see Eric?
- Of course, he's expecting you.
:09:04
You're just the person he needs.
:09:07
Here's the lady.
:09:18
Eric.
:09:20
May I say "tu"?
:09:22
Of course, you must.
:09:26
Do you have favourite authors?
:09:30
I wasn't told you were mute.
:09:33
The important thing is, I'm not deaf.
:09:36
- What would you like to hear?
- Whatever you choose.
:09:42
Look through this and next time
I'll read the one you like best.
:09:48
"Alone in my room. Far from
indiscreet ears and curious eyes.
:09:53
I practise. I read to myself. "
:09:57
"I'm afraid of hearing my own voice."
:09:59
"An error. One does not hear oneself."
