:40:08
I hope he hasn't
been boring you.
:40:10
No, not at all.
:40:12
Your husband
has a great sense of humor.
:40:14
Black humor, but still,
he's been keeping us...
:40:16
thoroughly entertained.
:40:17
- See, baby?
- See what?
:40:19
Our British friends
find me entertaining.
:40:21
In small doses, perhaps.
:40:23
But now we must leave them
in peace.
:40:26
Ah. Indeed.
:40:28
Thanks for taking care of him.
:40:30
Not at all.
:40:32
Ah, Fiona, I've already
imposed on you...
:40:36
but may I beg a favor?
:40:38
As I'm sure he told you...
:40:39
Nigel and I
had a chat last night.
:40:41
I found him
such stimulating company.
:40:44
Could I borrow him again
this afternoon?
:40:46
Just for an hour or so.
:40:48
He's quite grown up. He doesn't
have to have Mummy's permission.
:41:03
The seasons came and went.
:41:05
Mimi's face still held
a thousand mysteries for me...
:41:09
her body
a thousand sweet promises.
:41:13
But lurking
at the back of my mind...
:41:15
was an unspoken fear that we'd
already scaled the heights...
:41:18
of our relationship...
:41:20
that it would all be downhill
from now on.
:41:23
And then something happened.
:41:27
Something that would put things
on a totally different plane.
:41:33
We were at Kitzbuhel,
a skiing vacation.
:41:37
I'd rented a chalet there.
:41:39
It was one of those nights...
:41:41
warm and cozy inside...
:41:44
great, fat snowflakes...
:41:46
drifting down in the blackness
beyond the frosted panes.
:41:50
No light but the glow
from the set.
:41:53
Mimi on the floor wearing
a T-shirt and nothing else...
:41:56
watching some old American soap
dubbed in German...
