Voltaire's Zaire in Lyon...
:26:04
It was in Zaire.
:26:08
Did you ever see her?
:26:12
If I did, I would remember.
:26:15
Madame has a presence one doesn't forget.
:26:22
I'm an author myself.
:26:25
Do you know my play, Oxtiern?
:26:35
It's the story of a wicked lord in Sweden.
:26:40
It was staged at the Théâtre Molière,
:26:42
but it fell victim to a cabal.
:26:46
You have a lot of enemies.
:26:48
True. But no matter.
:26:51
If others think strangely,
let them stay in the dark.
:26:56
Let's not be victims.
:26:57
Would you change your displeasing traits?
:27:02
Never.
:27:05
I am what I am. I won't be changed.
:27:08
What could the Republic reprove
:27:11
in a woman who has served

:27:14
My husband was a financier,
so he was accused of embezzling.
:27:19
That paper currency affair.
:27:22
He did things a bit...
:27:25
tactlessly.
:27:27
He lost everything.
He won't even come to dinner.
:27:31
For the sake of economy.
:27:36
We're all in the same boat.
:27:38
The costs here are beyond comprehension.
:27:43
Accept my caterer's services.
:27:47
Look at that mummy
cajoling that young man.
:27:53
It's Mr. De Maussane's godson.
:27:55
Your naiveté is refreshing.
:27:59
You don't think that?
