On the hill near Paris
was the village of Montmartre.
:05:05
- It was not, as my father had said--
- A village of sin!
:05:09
But the center
of the bohemian world.
:05:11
- " Of the revolution "
- Musicians, painters, writers.
:05:14
They were known as
"the children of the revolution. "
:05:25
and that which I believed in
above all things--love.
:05:28
Always this ridiculous
obsession with love!
:05:32
There was only one problem--
I'd never been in love.
:05:36
- Luckily, right at that moment,
:05:38
an unconscious Argentinean
fell through my roof.
:05:44
He was quickly joined
by a dwarf dressed as a nun.
:05:47
How do you do?
:05:49
My name is Henri Marie Raymond
Toulouse-Lautrec Monfa.
:05:54
- What?
- I'm terribly sorry about all this.
:05:56
- We were just upstairs
rehearsing a play.
- What?
:05:58
A play, something very modern
called Spectacular Spectacular.
:06:03
- And it's set in Switzerland.
- Unfortunately,
the unconscious Argentinean...
:06:06
suffered from a sickness
called narcolepsy.
:06:09
Perfectly fine one moment,
then suddenly--
unconscious the next.
:06:11
- How is he?
:06:14
Wonderful. Now the narcoleptic
Argentinean is now unconscious.
:06:17
Therefore, the scenario will not
be finished in time to present
to the financier tomorrow.
:06:20
He's right, Toulouse.
I still have to finish the music.
:06:23
- Find someone to read the part.
- Where in heaven's name are we
going to find someone...
:06:26
to read the role of a young,
sensitive Swiss poet/goat herder?
:06:30
Before I knew it, I was upstairs,
:06:32
standing in for
the unconscious Argentinean.
:06:35
"The hills animate "
:06:37
"With the euphonious symphonies
of descant"
:06:41
"Ha, ha, ha-ha-ha "
:06:43
Oh, stop, stop!
Stop, stop, stop, stop!
:06:45
Stop that insufferable droning.
It's drowning out my words.
:06:48
Can we please just stick
to a little decorative piano?
:06:51
There seemed to be artistic differences
over Audrey's lyrics to Satie's songs.
:06:54
I don't think a nun
would say that about a hill.
:06:56
What if he sings, "The hills are vital,
intoning the descant"?
:06:59
- No, no. The hills quake and shake.
- No, no, no, no. The hills--
