He'll kill himself.
1:26:10
He can go back to tax collecting,
but his donkey can't!
1:26:13
I pity the donkey.
1:27:01
Are mules expensive?
1:27:05
I think I can fiind one
for about 500 francs.
1:27:11
I'll sell it in the fall
for a profiit.
1:27:15
But for that...
1:27:18
I'm asking you to make
a sacrifiice.
1:27:23
That is, a temporary separation...
1:27:27
from your necklace...
if you agree.
1:27:29
To sell?
1:27:32
No, just to pawn it.
There's no risk involved.
1:27:36
They'll lend me 2,000 francs for it.
It's worth much more.
1:27:41
The mule will thrive
on the mountain air...
1:27:44
and in two months I'll resell it.
1:27:47
Then we'll get the necklace back.
1:27:51
That's all right,
isn't it, Mama ?
1:27:54
Of course.
1:27:56
Time for bed.
Tomorrow is a big day.
