:25:03
I want Charlotte to get married,
but to a man with principles.
:25:06
Men develop appetites
when they are 12,
:25:09
muscles when they are 16...
:25:11
and principles
only after they are married.
:25:17
Being married
is the nicest thing to be.
:25:20
Maybe so, but I'm not ready
to make the compromise yet,
:25:23
and he most certainly isn't.
:25:25
Marriage is not a compromise.
It is a challenge,
:25:28
a challenge you should be
ready to accept.
:25:30
A challenge?
Certainly.
:25:32
It takes a clever woman
to make a good husband.
:25:35
That's why
there are so few of them.
:25:37
It is not difficult
to keep a man interested for one evening,
:25:41
but could you keep one interested
day after day...
:25:44
and all through the nights?
Mm. I'd like to try.
:25:47
But he said marriage is an institution
sponsored by women for women...
:25:50
and that he was never
gonna get married.
:25:52
His father, Adam Wright, thinks
he's some kind of a merry widower.
:25:55
And Eugene thinks it's just great how
daddy makes out with all the young girls.
:25:59
He wants to be just like him...
a... dirty old man.
:26:04
Um, the father is still alive?
Hmm! And pinching.
:26:08
Well, perhaps you should save
yourself for... "the dirty old man."
:26:12
Maman, be serious.
I like him very much.
:26:16
Don't make wrinkles, chouchou.
:26:19
Well, I know it immodest
for me to say it,
:26:22
but your maman is a genius
at this kind of thing.
:26:25
Your father came to Paris
for one week to import antiques.
:26:29
He had one book of traveler's checks,
two changes of pajamas.
:26:34
He used all the checks,
none of the pajamas.
:26:37
And the only thing he imported was moi.
:26:41
Now rest assured, little chicken,
the boy has not a chance.
:26:45
Marriage is our institution,
:26:47
and we're not going
out of business.
:26:56
Just my luck she's gotta be nuts.
