:36:00
Where have you been?
No one's seen you for days.
:36:02
I've just had
a fascinating experience.
:36:05
I walked along the Seine,
:36:07
and I tried to count up to
a thousand between bridges.
:36:10
If I went beyond a thousand, I turned
around and counted more slowly.
:36:14
Climbing the stairs I told myself,
:36:17
"If I reach the landing
on my left foot, I'm lost."
:36:20
Luckily, I landed on the right.
:36:22
And what drives you
to these kinds of activities?
:36:25
Despair.
:36:27
Despair?
:36:29
I must speak even if I hurt you.
:36:33
I'm ill. I can't be without her.
:36:36
I managed to see her again.
:36:38
- Whom?
- The girl from the Bois.
:36:42
I found their haven, thanks to you.
:36:45
- Me? Did I give you the address?
- Not you. Your mouth.
:36:48
Sometimes our mind lets words
slip from our tongue unheeded.
:36:51
In other words, you made a blunder.
- If I did, I apologize.
:36:55
- You must do me a favor.
- What?
:36:58
The ladies from the Square
turn me away.
:37:00
They never go out,
and they receive no one.
:37:03
Hélène, that girl is wonderful.
I must see her again.
:37:09
You must give me this one chance.
:37:12
I'll think about it on one condition:
:37:15
You must quit harassing them
with your advances.
:37:18
You're causing me trouble.
:37:21
They complained to me in writing.
If you need proof...
:37:27
here is the letter.
:37:29
It's from Agnès. Read it.
:37:39
Her writing is so like her.
:37:42
Without pretense.
Childlike and noble.
:37:47
This is like Cinderella's slipper.
:37:49
If I found a letter like this
in the street,
:37:52
I'd do everything in my power
to find the girl who wrote it.
:37:54
That's your only reaction?
:37:58
I'll leave them alone, I promise.
