:18:10
Come in, come in...
:18:15
Come closer.
:18:19
Sit down.
:18:23
Speak a little, to hear.
:18:26
I know usually you say "to see".
:18:29
But I can barely see,
so say something.
:18:32
You are not 100 years old, madame.
:18:35
But how pretty you are, Nouchka!
:18:39
You have the voice
of a pretty one!
:18:43
Bella!
:18:46
She doesn't answer but she's there.
I swear on my cat.
:18:51
Tell her, Bella,
that she is pretty.
:18:54
- Yes, madame.
- You see.
:19:00
I lied, of course, in my letter.
:19:02
I'm a little over 100.
And I am going blind.
:19:06
- And I had a passion.
- Soldiers. Reading.
:19:10
How pretty.
That's just like me.
:19:13
When I seduced
the French lieutenant in Budapest...
:19:18
I can see it.
:19:20
With my eyes closed,
I see perfectly.
:19:23
It was at the Embassy ball,
I was sparkling.
:19:27
And he...
:19:29
"If first she goes to her cousin,
she will be my wife."
:19:33
You've read "War and Peace",
one point to you.
:19:36
And for me, a lifetime of happiness...
Right up to this bed.
:19:41
In spite of History,
with a capital H.
:19:46
Bella, will you bring us tea?
:19:53
She insists on dressing as a maid,
I don't know why.
:19:57
I don't want to cross her,
because she has spiders.
