:24:00
I forced myself to play many parts.
That was my way.
:24:03
And now?
:24:04
I'll take the simplest
excel in everything, be the best.
:24:09
So be it. Now tell me
why you hate Montfleury so much.
:24:14
That paunch!
:24:16
One night I saw him touch a lady
with his eyes.
:24:22
Like a slug slithering over a rose.
:24:25
What? How can that be?
:24:27
The one I loved.
:24:30
The one I love.
:24:32
You never said anything before.
:24:35
Whom I love?
:24:37
Just think a moment.
:24:40
I can never be loved
even by the ugliest.
:24:43
My nose preceeds me
by fifteen minutes. Whom do I love?
:24:47
It should be clear.
:24:50
I love the prettiest far and near.
:24:53
The prettiest?
:24:54
The finest, the wittiest,
the seetest, the wiset.
:24:59
It's clear now.
:25:00
Diaphanously.
:25:01
Your cousin?
:25:02
Yes.
:25:04
Roxane.
:25:06
Wonderful! Tell her you love her!
:25:08
Tonight you're with glory covered.
:25:10
Look and tell me what exuberance
I have with this protuberance.
:25:17
I'm under no illusion.
:25:20
True sometimes, bemused by the night
:25:24
I see far off in the silver light
a lady on the arm of her knight.
:25:30
I dream of walking out
in the silver glow
:25:33
with a lady so.
:25:35
I get carried away.
:25:36
I pray.
:25:38
I forget all
then see my shadow on the wall.
:25:42
My friend...
:25:43
My friend...
:25:45
why should Fate allot
such ugliness, such loneliness?
:25:52
You cry?
:25:53
Oh no, that would be intolerable.
:25:56
A tear on this nose, horrible!
:25:59
I saw Roxane's face tonight.
For your duel it was ghostly white.
