I was brought up in an orphanage near
Cherbourg - it was destroyed on D-day.
:05:09
I've been sending money to help rebuild

:05:28
There are no beds yet and no roof.
:05:32

:06:38
Don't you believe it.
:06:43
At this time of the day
there is nothing doing...
:06:46
... unless you're working for
the department of sanitation.
:06:53
If you want a nightcap
at Maxim's, it's too late.
:06:56
It's been closed for hours.
