:42:02
You might say, if they're poor,
it's because they're not too bright.
:42:07
I got us some calf liver!
:42:10
- Taking down what she says?
- It's automatic.
:42:13
Read me something you wrote?
:42:16
It's been a bad day.
No, wait...
:42:20
Here's something I like...
:42:28
A scene between the count,
Douce's father,
:42:31
- And the beautiful young woman.
- The teacher? Like your mom?
:42:34
She was a governess.
:42:35
The count says something funny.
:42:37
She laughs. That makes him happy.
:42:40
He: "I love to see you laugh.
You don't laugh enough."
:42:43
She: "But, sir,
I've never been so happy."
:42:48
He's very moved.
:42:49
"Truly? How I wish
to see you carefree!"
:42:53
I like that: "carefree."
:42:55
I tried "happy" but it's too dull.
:42:58
"Easy-going" didn't fit.
:43:00
That's more like us girls.
:43:02
"Easy women," like they say.
Carefree is better.
:43:05
I love to see you laugh.
You don't laugh enough.
:43:09
I fear this house is too gloomy,
too austere for you.
:43:15
I've never been so happy.
:43:16
Truly? How I wish to see you carefree.
:43:22
You even write on death notices?
:43:25
Whatever comes to hand.
:43:26
- A relative?
- An uncle.
:43:28
Was he rich?
:43:29
He was old and blew every cent.
:43:35
You come from a weird family! Books!
:43:39
I'm getting nowhere!
:43:41
And when you get nowhere,
you repeat yourself. You ramble.
:43:45
So that's why you were sighing.
:43:48
Luckily, Bost will fix it.
:43:49
The man you work with?
:43:52
Pierre Bost is gifted. He's a writer.
:43:54
And you aren't?
:43:55
I'm a juggler, a pied piper.
:43:58
- A poet.
That's sweet
