: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.
:18:03
Well, poor Casimir, you've got
a lovely future ahead of you.
:18:16
I've seen some changes in the
neighborhood, sir, I can tell you.
:18:20
All our customers used to be locals,
:18:23
but last night we even had
a grand duke.
:18:26
A grand duke?
:18:27
Careful!
You'll drown your absinthe.
:18:29
He wanted champagne,
but he got absinthe like everyone else.
:18:32
He even tipped me a louis.
:18:34
Only the White Queen doesn't change.
:18:47
- Waiter.
- Sir?
