:52:00
He's not here.
:52:01
Is he coming back?
:52:05
It's with me today.
:52:17
What are you studying with him?
:52:19
Eugénie Grandet on Fridays.
:52:23
What's the story?
:52:24
There isn't much of one.
:52:26
There's always a story.
:52:28
Every book has a story.
:52:31
Have you read it?
:52:35
So you should know it.
:52:37
Who's Eugénie Grandet?
:52:39
She's a girl.
:52:42
That's a good start.
:52:44
What does this girl do?
:52:46
She waits.
:52:49
Who for?
:52:51
The man who loves her.
:52:53
Does she wait long?
:52:54
The whole book!
:52:57
Would she do that these days?
:52:59
- I don't know.
- What would she do today?
:53:03
She'd call.
:53:05
And what else?
:53:07
I don't know...
:53:08
Ask him for his photo.
:53:10
See. You can do it.
:53:12
Without phones or photos,
:53:13
how can she remember him?
:53:17
With her memory.
:53:19
How does it end?
:53:21
He never comes back.
:53:23
I knew it...
:53:24
And she goes on hoping.
:53:26
What do you think of her?
:53:28
She's patient.
:53:29
I think she's wonderful.
Don't you?
:53:33
You say it
but you don't really mean it.
:53:35
People can't wait
that long nowadays.
:53:38
- What do I write?
- Nothing. Why write it down?
:53:42
Think about it.
:53:45
If Eugénie Grandet had a phone,
what would have happened?
:53:49
Is that my homework for next week?
:53:53
That's right.
:53:54
For next week.
