Monsieur Chopin, it sounds
so like the raindrops, it’s quite magical,

:50:11
but I must ask you to produce
a little sunshine for us instead.

:50:14
I’m about to go mad with the sound
of horrid rain, day in, day out.

:50:20
Ordinarily I would just take a bromide
and go to bed,

:50:23
but one has guests to entertain.
:50:28
Stupid, stupid rain!
:50:35
No need to entertain us, Your Excellency.
:50:37
Rather, it is our turn to entertain you.
:50:40
- I’ve just written a play for your theatre.
- Oh, how gay!

:50:43
Eugene will paint the scenery.
The maids can do the costumes.

:50:47
- Chopin will provide an accompaniment.
- Delighted.

:50:50
We’ll play the parts and you will enjoy
this tribute from your grateful geniuses.

:50:56
The style’s a bit precious.
Do you mind if I rewrite it?

:51:00
- Not at all. We’ll have a horse sent in.
- "(Marie giggles)"

:51:04
What is the subject of your play?
:51:08
- Noah and the flood.
- "(laughs)" How appropriate!

:51:24
"(George)" Oh, this heat! Will it never end?
:51:26
Here sits my stupid lout of a husband.
I don’t know what God sees in him.

:51:31
I hate those things. Can I see that?
:51:33
You don’t remember them
because you didn’t write them!

:51:37
I can’t remember them
because they’re shit!

:51:40
(arguing)
:51:54
Ah, children.
:51:56
You are wanted in the theatre. Now!
