:15:02
I'm so sorry. At any rate,
Now you're here among us,
:15:05
So welcome to our academy. I'm miss
Tanner, one of the instructors.
:15:09
Nice to meet you.
:15:11
Come along. I'd like to
introduce you to madame Blanc,
:15:14
Our vice directress.
:15:16
She was a very famous ballerina.
:15:18
-Madame Blanc?
-Yes?
:15:20
Suzy Bannion, our new student.
:15:24
Oh, yes.
:15:27
-Excuse me, gentlemen.
-Of course, madame.
:15:30
You're pretty. Very pretty
indeed. They're policemen.
:15:35
I knew a woman called Bannion years
ago in New York. Carol Bannion.
:15:40
-She's my aunt.
-Good! She's a marvelous woman,
:15:43
A friend and benefactress
of artists everywhere.
:15:45
I'm delighted to have her niece here.
:15:48
Well, I offer our academy's official
welcome in the name of our directress,
:15:52
Who unfortunately is not
here at the moment.
:15:54
-She's traveling abroad.
-Thank you.
:15:56
Albert, please wait for me upstairs.
:16:00
He's my nephew. I'm very attached to him.
:16:03
I must tell you what I
have to say very quickly...
:16:05
Because those gentlemen
are waiting for me.
:16:07
Something terrible, truly
horrible, has happened.
:16:10
One of our students, Pat Hingle, who was
expelled just yesterday for improper conduct,
:16:15
Was murdered last night by some
madman. It's a frightening story.
:16:19
But I always warn our students,
Don't I, miss Tanner?
:16:21
I tell them to be careful, not to get
involved with questionable friendships.
:16:24
What I wanted to tell you was that
your room here isn't free yet.
:16:28
-Just a slight hitch.
-Yes, but don't worry.
:16:30
We've found you a place to stay with one of
our third-year students who lives in town.
:16:34
You'll have to pay 50 of your
American dollars a week,
:16:37
But it's a good price, and you can
deduct it from your fee here.
:16:40
Now I entrust you to the care of miss Tanner,
one of our veteran teachers here.
:16:44
Don't be upset if she seems a little
stern or surly. It's only her manner.
She's even that way with me.
:16:49
She really is an invaluable teacher.
:16:52
-Come with me.
-And now, gentlemen--
:16:56
As you know, our courses last three years,
:16:59
And you must pass an exam
at the end of each year.
