:07:01
-Who's this man?
-Ariane, please!
:07:04
He's very attractive.
:07:06
He's very objectionable, and quite immoral.
:07:10
-He is?
-And utterly no good.
:07:12
-What did he do?
-That's enough.
:07:20
I don't think I've ever seen
his face in the files.
:07:22
Ariane! Have you been into my files?
:07:25
No, Papa.
:07:27
I mean, yes, Papa.
Just a few of them, when I was dusting.
:07:30
Ariane, you've been told a thousand times
to stay away from those files.
:07:34
I've been trying, Papa,
but they're so fascinating.
:07:37
At the conservatory, all the girls envy me
because I have my private library.
:07:42
Library? This is not a library.
This is a sewer.
:07:47
How can you say that?
Some of these cases are so romantic.
:07:50
-I've read them time and time again.
-What cases?
:07:54
Well, I guess my favorite one is in file "D."
:07:58
The Duchess of Devontry
and her Alpine guide.
:08:01
It's so sad, and so beautiful.
:08:03
Your father almost had a heart attack
following them up the Matterhorn.
:08:08
How she must have loved him,
to give up everything.
:08:11
The duke, the castle,
the horses and the hounds.
:08:15
And for what?
Two weeks of shameless passion.
:08:18
Two glorious weeks!
:08:20
It was a terrible scandal,
and it had to lead to a terrible end.
:08:24
But it was worth it.
:08:25
What woman could ask for more
than to die together with her lover?
:08:29
Buried under an avalanche,
locked in each other's arms forever.
:08:32
Nonsense. They'll thaw out this summer,
and that will be it.
:08:37
Papa, how can you be so cruel?
:08:40
Don't you have any sympathy?
:08:42
I do. My sympathy is with the duke.
And the horses and the hounds.
:08:46
How about the case of the Benedictine
monk who quit his order...
:08:49
...for the love of a young widow?
:08:51
She only married him because she wanted
the secret formula for the liqueur.
:08:55
-Papa, you're a cynic.
-I guess I am.
:08:58
-You enjoy your work.
-I guess I do.
