1:07:00
Tell me, what was she like
when she was little?

1:07:04
No, Marco.
1:07:06
When she was 8 or so.
1:07:08
Marco, you promised!
1:07:10
It's him I'm asking,
Marie, not you.

1:07:13
See, I can't even ask questions.
1:07:16
Do I ask you things?
1:07:18
No, but I wish you would.
1:07:21
I love you all the same.
1:07:23
See, she's a brick wall.
1:07:25
So people say.
1:07:27
Marie!
1:07:29
At 8, she was so pretty.
1:07:36
She had golden hair in a pigtail.
1:07:40
There was a cousin called Caroline.
1:07:43
Only Caroline could touch
her pigtail. No one else.

1:07:51
She wore a ribbon...
1:07:53
and always had white dresses.
1:07:58
I only saw her when the family
rented a farm in summer.

1:08:04
With the cousins and neighbors,
there were 20 kids...

1:08:08
always causing trouble together.
1:08:13
Marie had her speciality.
She imitated frogs.

1:08:20
She'd squat by the pond
and jump into the mud...

1:08:24
going "croak, croak".
That cracked the other kids up.

1:08:29
She'd come back...
1:08:30
soaked to the skin,
but always with the same excuse:

1:08:36
"I slipped", she'd say
in her quiet little voice.

1:08:43
That's just like her!
1:08:45
Has she told you what I do?
1:08:49
No. See, I can't ask her questions.
1:08:54
I work in a travel agency.
I'm one of the partners.

1:08:59
Two tickets to Venice.
