:16:13
I... Well, I have a favor to ask.
:16:18
Monsieur Zola has a favor to ask.
And what is this favor, Monsieur Zola?
:16:23
It's quite unusual...
:16:25
...but could you advance me a few franc
on Nana? I'm sure it will sell, monsieur.
:16:30
Monsieur Zola wishes the advance of a few
franc because he is sure Nana will sell.
:16:35
Isn't that magnificent?
:16:37
You write a book about the gutter,
you call it Nana...
:16:40
...and you hope to make a little money.
:16:43
Come with me.

I have just finished stamping

Goodbye, monsieur.
Goodbye, madame.
:17:47
- Monsieur?
- Yes, what is it?
:17:51
Could you...? Could you still
let me have a few franc? In cash.
:17:56
I'll pay you back tomorrow.
