1:07:00
I don’t want to spoil a good
drunken stupor by imagining your reason.

1:07:03
Ever since the latest chapter
of her egregious memoir was published,

1:07:07
I can hardly show my face anywhere.
1:07:09
Did you read her latest novel?
It’s not literature, it’s drainage.

1:07:14
She only wrote good books
when she was with me.

1:07:17
Every morning while she was sleeping
I’d cross out half her adjectives.

1:07:21
Hercules could not have done it.
1:07:24
He’d have rather
cleaned out the bloody stables.

1:07:30
Know what’s funny?
1:07:33
- She doesn’t come.
- Oh.

1:07:35
She makes a lot of pretty noise,
but she can’t come.

1:07:38
Like her books - lovesick posturing
and pretence for quick money.

1:07:42
Oh, what a whore she is.
1:07:45
This is despicable. You are drunk.
1:07:49
My only regret is that I didn’t put 20 francs
on the mantelpiece the first time.

1:07:54
I can assure you, monsieur,
1:07:56
that Madame Sand will gain no money
from you on my account.

1:08:00
Hm?
1:08:04
(jaunty music)
1:08:09
Eugene!
1:08:12
Where’s angel fingers? I’ve lost him.
1:08:15
- He’s taking the Countess d’Agoult home.
- Oh.

1:08:20
If you plan to invade Poland,
1:08:22
you should know that the countess
has placed her troops at the border.

1:08:26
What are you talking about?
1:08:28
- I read a love letter she wrote to him.
- What letter? What did it say?

1:08:32
Marie’s jealous of you.
1:08:34
She couldn’t stand it
if you got a better composer than hers.

1:08:40
I don’t know why I dress up.
Nothing here but old men.

1:08:44
You should bring
that Mallefille fellow with you.

1:08:47
- He’s at Nohant tutoring the children.
- So you took my advice and kept him.

1:08:52
No. It’s all over with us.
1:08:56
- What does he say to that?
- Oh...

1:08:58
He threatens to kill me and himself
if I leave him.
