:44:33
Why are you so angry with me?
:44:35
All l can offer you is my friendship.
Can't you accept it?
:44:39
l could pretend to,
but that would be dishonest.
:44:42
The man l used to be would have been
content with friendship...
:44:46
...and then set about trying
to turn it to his advantage.
:44:49
But l have changed now.
:44:51
l can't conceal from you that
l love you tenderly, passionately...
:44:56
...and above all, respectfully.
:45:01
So how am l to demote myself
to the tepid position of friend?
:45:04
Not that you are even
pretending to show friendship.
:45:08
-What do you mean?
-Well, is this friendly?
:45:13
Why must you deliberately
destroy my peace of mind?
:45:23
You were wrong to feel threatened by me,
Madame.
:45:26
Your happiness is far more
important to me than my own.
:45:30
That is what l mean
when l say that l love you.
:45:35
l think we should end this conversation.
:45:37
l shall leave you in possession of the field.
:45:44
But look....
:45:46
We are to be living under the same roof,
at least for a few days.
:45:49
Surely we don't have to try
to avoid each other?
:45:54
Of course not.
:45:55
Provided you adhere
to my few simple rules.
:45:58
l shall obey you in this as in everything.
