I'm a little frightened of him,
aren't you?

:03:03
I'm a little frightened,
and yet when I sang after dinner...

:03:06
I wanted to go up to him
and take him by the hand...

:03:09
look in his eyes
and sing just for him.

:03:12
Poor man. He'd never come
here again if I'd done that.

:03:16
Did you notice
he almost never smiles?

:03:21
While I was singing, I turned
and caught him looking at me.

:03:25
He was smiling then.
:03:27
And I felt...
:03:29
But it's almost
impossible to describe.

:03:32
I felt as if
someone had given me...

:03:35
the most enormous,
beautiful present.

:03:38
Come to bed, Natasha.
It's terribly late.

:03:40
Oh, you try to spoil everything.
:03:43
A night like this,
I feel like hugging myself...

:03:46
and straining tight as possible
and flying away.

:03:49
- Take care! You'll fall out!
- All right.

:03:52
But it is a shame to go in
on such a night.

:03:55
It's as though you can hear
wonderful music...

:03:58
and you just know that the next
song or the song after that...

:04:01
will be the most beautiful thing
you've ever heard in your life.

:04:04
And being pulled away
and missing it forever.

:04:12
Forever.
:04:16
All right.
:04:42
- The expression on my face.
- What about it?

:04:45
- Do I look disdainful?
- No.

:04:48
You're impossible.
I'm sure I look disdainful.

:04:50
What do you want to look
disdainful for?

:04:52
I thought if I looked bored
and disdainful...

:04:54
nobody would notice that this is
the first ball I've ever been to.
