:09:02
l called to bring tickets
for a box, tomorrow evening.
:09:03
At which theatre?
:09:04
The Cornmarket.
:09:05
lsn't it in an old
joiner's workshop
:09:08
out beyond the Bastille Square?
:09:10
That's the place, the audience
sits on benches and,
:09:12
in crepuscular light,
:09:14
the actors, without sets
or costumes,
:09:16
recite medieval mystery plays
in the original Old French.
:09:18
lt's original, all right.
:09:20
No one can understand a word.
lt's all the rage.
:09:22
Most interesting.
l'm sure we shan't miss it,
:09:25
but l believe my sister plans
to attend tomorrow's premiere
:09:27
of Ratamu Pataga.
:09:29
Ratamu Pataga. What is that?
:09:31
You're the last to hear
about anything, Huguette.
:09:33
lt's the opening night
for the Lapland ballet.
:09:35
The leading dancer is a seal.
:09:37
Everyone who's anyone
will be there tomorrow!
:09:39
Madame Valandray has tickets?
:09:40
l believe not.
:09:42
May l hurry and get you a box,
if there are any left?
:09:45
-Don't go to the trouble.
-l'd be delighted.
:09:48
l'll be right back.
:09:56
What a charming fellow,
always ready to oblige.
:09:58
-Unusual for a taxi!
-A taxi?
:10:01
l call him the taxi because
he's always running errands.
:10:04
You little minx.
:10:05
l always speak my mind.
:10:07
How unwise of you.
lf you're that demanding,
:10:09
you'll never find a husband.
:10:14
l already have!
:10:22
Actually, l've chosen him
but he doesn't know.
:10:26
You secretive little madam!
:10:28
l'm here to seek your support!
:10:30
l'm all ears, my dear.
Who is it?
:10:33
Charly!
:10:36
Which Charly?
:10:37
Charles Brunner,
the one we all call Charly.
:10:41
-You must be mad!
-l am, mad about him!
:10:44
He doesn't have a situation.
:10:46
What? He's the head of a school.
:10:50
Oh, yes, the chief competitor
of the dada school,
:10:53
the cubisto-cuneiform school,
known as coocoo for short.
:10:57
Surely you don't plan
to set up house on income
