:58:00
No, it is not.
:58:04
...the only manor house
in the county.
:58:05
I know because I grew up there.
:58:06
Leopold, it wasnt...
:58:08
Leo, do you enjoy opera?
:58:10
-I do. And do you?
-Oh, yes.
:58:12
It keeps... keeps me alive.
:58:13
Do you have a favorite?
:58:15
Bohéme. La Bohéme.
:58:17
- La Bohéme.
-Ive seen it 12 times.
:58:19
Thats... thats how
I learned to speak French.
:58:22
You speak French?
:58:23
Fluently.
:58:24
Oh.
:58:25
Ah. Que ton visage est doux
:58:28
entouré par la lumière
de la lune.
:58:32
What did he say?
:58:39
"How sweet your face looks
:58:41
gently encircled
by the soft moonlight."
:58:44
Oh, I like that.
:58:46
From the opening scene
of Bohéme.
:58:48
A stunning duet.
:58:50
Andre sings it to Mimi.
:58:52
Andre...
:58:53
I invited Kate
to the Met next week.
:58:54
Shes never been.
:58:56
Patrone is singing Andre,
and she turned me down.
:58:58
Can you explain that, Leopold?
:59:02
Well... La Bohéme is one
of mans great achievements
:59:06
and should not be missed.
:59:08
But perhaps Kate resists
on moral grounds.
:59:11
How so?
:59:12
Should we get the check?
:59:13
Well, some feel that
to court a woman in ones employ
:59:17
is nothing more than
a serpentine effort
:59:19
to transform a lady to a whore.
:59:24
Oh.
:59:25
J.J.
:59:30
This guys charming, Kate.
:59:33
The Duke of Margarine
thinks me a serpent.
:59:36
-No, he doesnt.
-No, not a serpent.
:59:39
Thats too grand a word.
:59:40
Simply a braggart and a cad
:59:42
who knows less French than I,
if thats possible.
:59:45
And by the way
:59:48
theres no Andre in
Bohéme-- its Rudolfo.
:59:51
And though it takes place
in France
:59:53
its rarely played in French,
as it is written in Italian.
:59:56
Good night.
