:16:02
If you wish, I'll give up
everything for you.

:16:05
Can you see yourself living
in a cottage on bread and love?

:16:09
I don't need much.
:16:11
In the big fireplace we could roast
the wild boar you'd kill in the hunt.

:16:17
We'd have a very ancient cook
:16:21
and a terribly young servant girl
to do the cleaning.

:16:25
Sounds like
a perfectly balanced bill.

:16:29
Now get dressed, darling.
:16:31
I will.
:16:33
But Walter will pay for this!
:16:37
Is this really the horn used in
Emilienne de Passy's famous number?

:16:41
She sounded like
the English queen herself.

:16:43
I found her
on the rue Mouffetard.

:16:45
You know, I'm a bit of an artiste myself
in my spare time.

:16:49
I sing, I dance.
:16:50
My friends all call me
Serpentine Casimir.

:16:55
Couldn't you give me a chance
at the Chinese Screen?

:16:58
I'd drop everything else in a flash.
Watch what I can do.

:17:20
I see.
:17:22
But is the Chinese Screen still mine?
:17:25
Zizi, help me.
:17:28
You've got a good job, Casimir.
Keep it.

:17:32
The theater isn't a living.
:17:34
Art, audiences, applause -
that's all very nice,

:17:38
but you're always at the mercy
of the man with the money.

:17:43
He twists your arm
whenever he pleases.

:17:47
Tighter!
:17:50
Slaves - that's what we are.
:17:53
If I had a son,
I'd make him a civil servant.

:17:57
Anything with a pension.
:17:59
Maybe, but the stage is in my blood.
From now on, I'm your man.
