:36:00
- You read a lot?
- No.
:36:02
Long journeys,
time-lags, sleepless nights...
:36:05
You're joking. There's always mail,
business to discuss...
:36:08
- You talk a lot?
- Yes.
:36:10
No. Why?
:36:12
You know, I'm obliged to, Mademoiselle.
:36:15
- I'm obliged to...
- Madame.
:36:19
- Madame. Yes, very well...
- Obliged...
:36:24
Success is no longer just
efficiency, performance.
:36:27
You also need elegance, class...
:36:30
One must be able to discuss
cultural developments.
:36:33
Would you like to drink something?
:36:37
- Or anything?
- Yes, something.
:36:39
Something, fine. If you prefer...
:36:41
No, a whisky.
:36:49
Where was I?
:36:51
I thought you might help me
talk about literature.
:36:54
Some opinions,
some notes on books...
:36:57
- All right?
- A little more.
:37:01
- That's a lot.
- Not enough or too much.
:37:04
No matter.
:37:10
- So? Can you do it?
- Is it for show?
:37:14
I'm not asking for much,
extracts, summaries...
:37:17
I pretend to read
your pretended reading?
:37:21
I'm sorry.
I'm a reader, not a faker.
:37:25
You're deserting me?
:37:27
- There are specialized magazines...
- Specialized?
:37:30
Tapes, well done I'm told.
:37:32
We're deviating, madame,
make it short.
:37:34
Will you render the service
your ad suggested
:37:37
and sell me... your voice?
:37:42
- And your wife?
- My wife?
:37:44
Your wife, can't she read to you?
:37:47
Separated, we're separated.
:37:51
For over a year.
:37:53
Believe me if you like,
I live all alone.
:37:56
Not even a cleaning woman.
:37:58
I do have one,
three minutes a week, that's all.
