:34:00
looking for a new play, reading scripts.
:34:03
so, what do you think?
:34:06
he hasn't done justice to your eyes.
:34:09
as a matter of fact,
:34:10
there is a play that interests me.
:34:12
it's about an older woman
:34:13
who has an affair with a younger man.
:34:15
oh, a farce.
:34:17
why do you say that?
:34:18
well, because everyone
laughs at the older woman.
:34:21
no, not in this play. it's all serious.
:34:25
the act 1 curtain's good.
:34:28
it comes as a shock to her.
:34:30
what does?
:34:30
that she's fallen in love with the boy.
:34:34
and it happens just when everything
:34:36
seemed to her so dull and unpromising,
:34:38
as if her life was over.
:34:40
she finds the affair exhilarating.
:34:43
and everyone keeps telling her
:34:44
she looks 10 years younger.
:34:47
I trust she doesn't confess to the boy
:34:48
that she loves him. that's always fatal.
:34:52
does it sound like something for me?
:34:53
oh, don't be ridiculous, Julia.
:34:57
no, your public would
never stand for it.
:34:59
if such a woman asked me,
:35:00
I know what advice I'd give her.
:35:02
what? break it off at once.
:35:03
it will only end in tears.
:35:04
but, Charles, she can't do that.
:35:06
why ever not?
:35:07
because she's fallen in love with him,
:35:09
that's why. she's helpless.
:35:11
hmm.
:35:14
the character in the play.
:35:28
dolly, old thing,
:35:30
how are you?
:35:32
I haven't seen you for ages.
:35:36
sit down and make yourself, uh,
:35:40
comfy.
:35:41
so, come to see that
the old firm's raking in
:35:45
the dividends for you?
:35:46
Michael, I'll come
straight to the point.
:35:48
you know I'm not one to gossip,
:35:49
but--but I'm
upset about Julia.
:35:52
I think you ought to know that
people are beginning to talk.
:35:55
what the devil do you mean?
:35:56
well, it's absurd that at her age,
:35:59
she should make herself so conspicuous
