Then l saw the love wasn't for me
but for his baby's mother.

:38:08
lt was his child. Any woman
could have played my part.

:38:13
And then they hired a nurse. Swiss.
:38:16
You rest, my love.
:38:19
Elda will take care of the child.
:38:30
What's maternal instinct?
:38:32
l never even learned
to hold the baby right.

:38:34
Elda would immediately
come to its rescue.

:38:38
Several times a day
l'd go to the nursery.

:38:41
Elda would put a finger to her lips.
:38:44
Or signal not to disturb
her feeding...

:38:47
or diaper her,
and l was just allowed to watch.

:38:51
Everything was clean,
everything in order.

:38:55
That was 4 years ago.
Charlotte grew up,

:38:59
she talked, she walked.
And she's still not my daughter.

:39:04
l don't know what they'll say:
:39:07
that l'm dead,
:39:09
or went off on a long trip.
:39:12
You won't see her again?
:39:15
They're against it. l promised.
:39:19
lt's not important.
:39:21
Where's my drink?
:39:27
l'm gonna wind up being a drag.
:39:33
Thanks.
:39:35
Want to see my father?
:39:43
He died in Morocco.
:39:44
l was only eight.
:39:48
He was in Morocco a few months.
:39:51
l never knew
what he was doing there.

:39:53
Nor did my mother.
:39:56
l remember him well.
:39:58
Never serious.
Always joking about things.
