:55:03
That would have been madness!
:55:05
But she figured it out!
She is not stupid!
:55:10
She was telling me
that a mayoral sash
:55:13
or a cassock aren't always
necessary to unite two beings.
:55:18
And that a girl can give herself
to the man she's chosen
:55:21
without a crowd of five hundred
to back her up.
:55:24
l'm sure you share her opinion
on that point.
:55:27
Not exactly!
:55:30
How can that be?
:55:34
lt's much better to remain
within the norm
:55:37
and follow the precepts
of traditional...morality.
:55:41
Meaning?
:55:44
Meaning...
:55:48
she could marry someone
who counts less for her and,
:55:52
once married, give herself
to the man of her choice
:55:55
with an affair that follows
the social norm.
:55:58
You can tell your friend that.
:56:00
All the same,
she'd have to be sure
:56:02
that the crumbs
will lead to the cake.
:56:06
The cake's telling you so.
:56:09
Well then,
l'll give her the message.
:56:17
Marvellous!
:56:18
l adore this costume.
:56:22
lt might be wise to
rehearse one last time.
:56:25
Perhaps.
l do feel a little nervous.
:56:27
l'll leave you
to work in peace.
:56:29
Could you tell
the other young ladies,
:56:31
who must be in costume by now,
to enter on cue?
:56:34
All right.
:56:36
Of course,
it's easy for her.
:56:37
l don't dress up as a Mexican.
:56:39
Let's rehearse!
:56:40
Just a second.
Let me admire you first.
:56:44
ln that costume, l see you and
another woman at the same time.
:56:48
Gilberte, if only you'd--
:56:50
Soon you'll be offering
to show me
:56:52
your bachelor flat like Faradel.
:56:53
-Faradel has offered you...
-No, he hasn't.
:56:56
Let's get one thing clear:
l'll never be your mistress.
:56:59
But you allow me
to be your lover!
