:27:01
Look at the pretty ribbon I found.
:27:04
Vanity will be your downfall.
:27:07
And you'll always be a prince.
:27:15
Do you know her?
:27:16
That's Prunelle, Queen of the Cancan.
:27:18
The toast of Paris
before you were born.

:27:23
- Good night, Monsieur Danglard.
- Night, sweetheart.

:27:31
I was down in the dumps.
:27:32
But seeing her skip
along the street was a revelation.

:27:37
Do you know what I'll give them?
:27:40
A taste of the low life for millionaires.
Adventure in comfort.

:27:44
Garden tables, the best champagne,
great numbers by the finest artistes.

:27:49
The bourgeois will be thrilled
to mix with our girls

:27:52
without fear of disease
or getting knifed.

:27:54
But where?
:27:57
- I just bought the White Queen.
- With what?

:28:00
Well, with drafts, promises,
a lot of hot air.

:28:05
There's no lack of money.
:28:07
It's just getting it
out of backers' pockets.

:28:09
May I make a suggestion?
:28:11
Just a little song.
:28:13
Ancient heroes were lauded
by a chorus.

:28:16
Aren't our heroes today
worthy of the luxury?

:28:19
I'll be your chorus.
Nice idea, right?

:28:24
Money is as shy as a turtledove
:28:29
Money can be wooed
like a maiden's love

:28:33
Money hides shyly beneath widows'beds
Money mounts up in misers'heads

:28:38
Millionaire, banker, courtesan
bigot, aristocrat, holdup man

:28:42
There's all that money
to be shaken from trees

:28:45
What's money for Danglard
but shooting the breeze

:28:49
Forward! Charge the windmills
:28:54
Soldiers, hold your positions
:28:56
Forward! Capture the pretty frills
:28:59
Shake the temple's columns
