(knock at door)

(door opens)
:16:37
Why don't you eat before the opera,
instead of keeping me up all hours?
:16:41
You're rich enough. Same soup,
night after night, week after week.
:16:44
- Please don't disturb yourself, Marie.
- You're a fine one to say that!
:16:48
Why wouldn't I be disturbed?
I'll come right to the point.
:16:51
What you do with your money
is not my business.
:16:53
If you want to hoard it
and starve, it's your affair.
:16:56
But you haven't paid me for six weeks,
and that's as long as I'm going to wait.
:16:59
I haven't any money.
If you'll be patient, just a little longer...
:17:02
You haven't any money? After working
for the Paris Opera all these years?
:17:06
What will you do with your money?
Bury it with you?
:17:09
If you do, they'll dig you up and steal it.
:17:11
If you think you can add a few francs
to your fortune at my expense,
:17:14
you're very much mistaken.
:17:16
Marie, you've been very kind, you've been
very patient. You'll be paid, I promise you.
:17:22
Now please leave me alone.
:17:24
It makes me sick to think of all
that money doing nobody any good.
:17:30
Either I get my money or out you go.
That's my last word, Claudin.
