Charles!

- (gunshot)
- (gasps)
:14:12
Grab it! Grab it!
:14:18
Darling!
:14:20
Charles! Charles!
Ive had the most extraordinary letter!
:14:24
Madame George Sand is quite brazenly
inviting herself to the fortnight!
:14:29
You know the one. She wears mens
clothes and leads a most depraved life!
:14:34
Im dying to meet her.
:14:36
Charles?
:14:38
She writes that marriage is barbaric,
darling.
:14:42
They say no marriage is safe around her.
:14:45
Just think, she might take a fancy
to your turkey wattles.
:14:49
Didier! Dont touch that! Come here!
:14:52
Im in a quandary
because Ive invited Alfred de Musset.
:14:55
Everybody knows he and Madame Sand
practically tore each other to pieces.
:14:59
Im petrified that if they
so much as clap eyes on each other...
:15:03
(howls with rage)
:15:10
Has anyone ever met this duchess?
:15:14
No.
:15:16
Must be one of those titled tarts stuck in
the provinces with an uncouth husband.
:15:20
Shes probably famished for culture
and determined to import it at any cost.
:15:27
Charles!
:15:29
- Where are you going?
- Hunting.
:15:31
- Goodbye. Ill be back in a few days.
- But you cant!
:15:35
- Our guests arrive today.
- Precisely.
:15:37
You blockhead!
:15:39
These are the great geniuses of our time,
gathered together in our home!
:15:43
They are a gang of parasites.
:15:45
After a few days in their company,
I expect youll come to your senses.
:15:50
Youll humiliate me
if you dont receive them.
:15:53
Charles!
:15:54
You dont want me to be a success!
:15:59
Gustav?
