"My dear Zola...
:55:05
...l'm certain you will be happy
to learn I have succeeded...
:55:08
...in inducing my colleagues
to consider you...
:55:11
...for membership in the French Academy.
:55:13
You need not fear their decision, for they
know that your imperishable works...
:55:19
...and your noble accomplishments
entitle you above all others...
:55:22
...to be named among the immortals
of France.
:55:27
With assurances
of my deepest sincerity...
:55:30
...Francois Coppee."
:55:33
The academy, at last.
:55:37
They can deny me no longer.
:55:42
Now, my dear, there's nothing more
for me to desire.
:55:52
Pardon, monsieur.
There's a lady to see you.
:55:54
- A lady?
- Madame Dreyfus, monsieur.
:55:56
Dreyfus?
:55:58
- You didn't tell her I was home?
- Yes...
:56:01
You blockhead!
Why didn't you come ask me?!
:56:03
- The lady will hear you, Émile.
- You knew I was busy.
:56:09
- Well, well, well. Just ask her to come in.
- Yes, sir.
:56:22
Madame Dreyfus, please.
:56:39
- Madame Dreyfus?
- Yes, Monsieur Zola.
:56:41
Please forgive me for intruding like this...
:56:44
...but I had to see you,
talk to you about my husband.
:56:47
But, madame, what can I do
for your husband?
:56:50
He's innocent, monsieur.
I've absolute proof here.
:56:54
But no one will listen to me. No one.
:56:57
Naturally, as his wife,
you believe him innocent...
:56:59
...but he was lawfully convicted.
