Not that either. You smell of fruit.
:32:03
You're superb.
:32:04
The colour is superb.

Let's start.
:32:11
- The same as last time.
- No, I'm a reader, not a repeater.

:32:16
I'm old and you mustn't contradict me.
:32:20
- Can I change my bedside-man now?
- Of course, madame.

:32:24
Tell me how you like them.

Gorky: "Lenin and the Russian peasant".
:32:32
"What was exceptionally great
in him was his ardent conviction

:32:36
that sorrow is not
the necessary basis of being

:32:39
but an evil which man must
and should sweep away."

:32:43
Not bad. Or else Lenin:
:32:48
"Marx's doctrine is all-powerful
:32:50
because it is fair,
complete, harmonious".

"One day, a general, or maybe one night"
:33:21
"A general had two horses
killed beneath him"

:33:24
"These horses gee'd up
Life is bitter"

:33:26
"It was my poor father, my poor mother"
:33:29
"Who hid beneath the bed,
the general's bed"

:33:32
"Who hid behind the lines
in a small southern town"

:33:35
"The general talked alone at night,
generally talked of boring troubles"

:33:40
"That's how my father
and that's how my mother, gee up!"

:33:43
"One night, died of boredom"
:33:46
"For me, family life was done
Leaving the bedside table"

:33:49
"I galloped fast away to the big city,
shining, gleaming"

:33:54
"In an auto, I reach Sabi in Paros
Sorry, I'm talking horse"

:33:57
"One morning, I reach Paris in sabots"
:33:59
"I ask to see the lion, king of beasts
Receive a bump on my nose"
