:20:00
I'll be brief.
I need money.
:20:03
Everyone does.
:20:05
More or less.
:20:07
Maybe, but I'd like to know
why you come to me.
:20:11
- I don't even know you.
- No matter.
:20:14
I know you.
:20:16
All Paris knows you.
:20:19
You're too kind.
:20:21
But let's not get carried away.
:20:24
Yes, you are already famous,
:20:26
and no doubt rich enough
:20:28
for a man at bay
to appeal to you, quite simply.
:20:33
- At bay?
- It's a matter of life and death.
:20:37
- Seriously?
- Do I look like I'm joking?
:20:43
I'm not rich,
:20:47
but perhaps Fate sent you.
:20:49
I won at the lottery last week.
:20:51
I haven't spent it all.
You're in luck.
:20:54
I'd give it all
to a friend or brother.
:20:57
But as I haven't the honor
of knowing you...
:21:01
all I can say is:
:21:03
Let's share it.
:21:04
If this tiny amount is of any help,
:21:08
I offer it to you.
:21:09
"Quite simply."
:21:13
You amaze me.
Actors are said to be misers.
:21:17
Great ones, especially.
:21:19
Fine, then.
:21:21
There's still progress to be made.
:21:24
You practice a peculiar craft.
:21:26
- The best.
- No doubt.
:21:30
But you make hearts beat
every night at the same hour.
:21:36
You don't understand.
That's the beauty of it!
:21:39
The wonder!
:21:41
To feel and hear your heart
:21:44
and the heart of the audience
beat at the same time.
:21:48
How promiscuous!
:21:51
If my heart starts
to beat loudly,
:21:55
I take an unusual delight
in being the only one to hear it.
