Monsieur, you play
the bloodthirsty brute so naturally.

1:07:17
You're too kind.
1:07:19
I merely played him
as Shakespeare wrote him,

1:07:23
as naturally as possible.
1:07:25
A peculiar fellow,
this Mr Shakespeare.

1:07:29
I hear he made his literary debut
as a butcher's apprentice.

1:07:33
Why not?
1:07:35
Which would explain
the bestial nature of his plays,

1:07:39
and his popularity among dockers
and carters.

1:07:42
And kings!
1:07:44
I see why I found this play
so distasteful and shocking.

1:07:49
I'll buy my coachman a seat.
1:07:51
It's worth trying.
1:07:54
Then allow me
to offer you a box

1:07:57
for your horses.
1:07:59
It's worth trying.
1:08:03
I thought you'd forgotten me.
1:08:05
I thought I'd lost you forever.
1:08:08
I've never forgotten you.
1:08:12
You were even in my dreams.
1:08:15
You saved me from growing old,
dull and used up.

1:08:21
My life was so empty.
I felt so alone.

1:08:26
But I kept thinking:
I've no right to be sad.

1:08:29
I'm happy.
Someone loved me.

1:08:31
But I still love you.
I always have.

1:08:34
And do you love me?
1:08:36
No, don't answer.
1:08:39
I won't ask for anything.
1:08:41
You're here.
That's all that matters.

1:08:44
Here, alive in my arms,
1:08:48
like the first time.
1:08:50
No, I ask for nothing.
1:08:53
Only...
1:08:55
the warmth of your body
against my body,

1:08:59
this mouth of yours.
