a record by Bécaud,

and furtively slipping it

:13:10
"Writing for yourself
or others, dear Carla,
:13:14
is a way of setting
the record straight.
:13:17
It's confession
without a priest.
:13:19
It's a cry from the heart
when your courage fails.
:13:23
For someone who always acted
without thinking,
:13:26
writing enables me
to reverse the process...
:13:30
to think before acting.
:13:33
At last I know
how ungrateful I've been.
:13:36
I simply accepted
the world of money.
:13:38
My morals,
education and desires
:13:41
were those of a decadent
and doomed class.
:13:44
Evidently, people appreciated
money after the war.
:13:47
It was a way out
of the nightmare.
:13:49
The war justified everything!
:13:51
It had justified so many crimes,
why not money?
:13:55
But what can peace justify,
besides peace itself?
:13:59
Only the joy of living
with others,
:14:02
without hate or bigotry,
without denunciations or profiteering.
:14:06
Happiness may even be
:14:08
inversely related
to our fortunes.
:14:12
I'd give anything
to have known my mother.
:14:16
Real happiness
is being able to cry out,
:14:20
'Mom, I'm scared,'
when you've had a bad dream.
:14:22
It's waking up
in the arms of a man you love."
:14:26
Sing for all the pals
who were released, Julien.
:14:29
One...
:14:32
two...
:14:34
three!
:14:36
Bravo, Julien.
So you've got your café.
:14:40
If all goes well,
we open tomorrow.
:14:42
What are you drinking?
:14:44
- A Ricard.
- A cassis salaud.
:14:46
So, Charles...
:14:48
are we going to incorporate
or form a limited company?
:14:52
Success, Inc.
but Failure, Limited!
:14:57
- What about the taxes?
- I told you to pay them.
