:17:11
Daughter, you have reached too high.
:17:14
I told you, marriage is a contract.
:17:19
To a man of Marco's station,
it has nothing to do with love.
:17:25
But you can still have Marco.
:17:31
But not in wedlock.
:17:39
There's an alternative to marriage.
:17:44
You'll become a courtesan.
:17:49
I've seen you watching them.
I've seen you mesmerized by them.
:17:56
You'll become a courtesan...
:18:00
...like your mother used to be.
:18:13
You were a courtesan?
:18:15
One of the best.
:18:20
When?
:18:22
A long time ago.
:18:27
I had hoped to buy you a good marriage.
:18:31
But your father...
:18:33
...drank away your dowry.
:18:36
Your brother must buy his posting.
:18:38
And I am too old.
:18:40
It is you...
:18:42
...who must support us now.
:18:46
Look at these hands.
:18:48
Soft.
:18:51
Too soft...
:18:52
...for a scullery maid...
:18:54
...or working the winery.
:18:56
Perhaps a lady's maid.
