First offenders
get three days in the pillory...
:12:04
- Hello, my pet. How are you?
- Are you mad?
:12:06
We're all out of our minds.
Haven't you observed it?
:12:09
Lunatic! l'm on my way to my wedding
with a lunatic.
:12:11
- Stop the coach!
- No. Patience. We're almost there.
:12:14
And Lenore desires to be married.
Don't you, my darling?
:12:17
l certainly do.
:12:19
"Lenore"? "Darling"?
Do you know this man?
:12:23
Yes, l know him.
That is, l used to know him.
:12:26
He's a stupid fellow and an awful liar.
Pay no attention to him.
:12:31
Who is he?
:12:33
- Who are you?
- l've often wondered.
:12:35
They call me Andre Moreau.
:12:37
- Whoever you are, get out this instant!
- Won't you sit down?
:12:42
That wedding gown
is most becoming, my darling...
:12:44
but about this marriage, l have my doubts.
:12:47
- l'm not interested.
- How dare you!
:12:49
- You're wrong for each other.
- This is monstrous, atrocious, outrageous!
:12:52
We have here a middle-aged gentleman,
an honest fellow, a solid citizen.
:12:56
What does he ask of a wife?
That she sit by the fire of an evening...
:12:59
the little ones at her feet,
darning his hose...
:13:02
while he tells of the gossip
of the sausage bazaars.
:13:04
He wants a mere half-dozen children.
Better make that a dozen.
:13:07
And who does he pick for a wife?
An actress.
:13:11
A traveling player,
experienced in a number of roles...
:13:14
but never, l fancy, as the mother of 12.
:13:16
- Did you say an actress?
- Yes.
:13:20
Hasn't she told you?
:13:22
Lenore is an actress.
An indifferent one, but...
:13:25
lndifferent? l am superb.
The theater's in my blood.
:13:29
Know what that means? One night, in the
middle of supper, she'll get the old urge.
:13:33
And while you're having pickles,
she's off on the road again.
:13:36
- l have only one urge at the moment.
- l know.
:13:39
To marry me.
:13:42
- Marry you?
- Yes.
:13:44
Why didn't you tell me?
:13:46
- Why didn't you ask me?
- But you never mentioned it.
:13:50
Darling.
