:33:01
- Monsieur Daubert.
- Madame.
:33:04
They call this rehearsing, monsieur.
:33:06
Well, I'm sorry to intrude,
but I must see you, Christine.
:33:09
- Well, you see I'm busy right now...
- Christine!
:33:13
Please remember that you
are speaking to a gentleman.
:33:21
Well, uh...
:33:23
- Come in, Raoul.
- Rehearsals!
:33:26
Anatole... Well, he's been helping me.
:33:29
- Monsieur's very kind.
- Not at all, monsieur. I find it a pleasure.
:33:33
- I'm Anatole Garron of the Opera.
- I'm so sorry.
:33:35
This is Inspector Daubert,
of the Sûreté.
:33:38
I've heard of you, Inspector.
Your work must be very exciting.
:33:41
Oh, not so exciting as yours, monsieur.
It doesn't lend itself to self-expression.
:33:48
I didn't recognise that
delightful song you were singing.
:33:51
But as you know,
I am no connoisseur of the opera.
:33:53
It's not from an opera, Raoul. It's a lullaby.
:33:57
A lullaby?
:34:00
It didn't seem very effective, as a lullaby.
:34:03
Well, you see, Monsieur Inspector,
a song is capable of many interpretations,
:34:07
- By a musician.
- By a detective, too.
:34:11
Though no doubt
the detective is usually mistaken.
:34:14
I must see you alone, Christine.
I'm here on business from the Sûreté.
:34:19
With me?
:34:20
What business could mademoiselle
have with the Sûreté?
:34:25
What is it, Raoul?
:34:27
If you don't mind,
I'd rather Anatole stayed.
:34:35
Very well, Christine.
:34:38
- You know Erique Claudin?
- Why, yes.
:34:41
How well?
:34:42
I knew him only as
a violinist in the orchestra.
:34:45
I encountered him a few times in the foyer
:34:48
or on the stage or outside
the Opera, but that's all.
:34:51
He acted a little strangely, but I assumed
he was that way with everybody.
:34:56
- Strangely?
How do you mean, "strangely"?
:34:58
Well... I don't know.
