"So I wear them."
:47:04
"A reduced bargain
my mother bought me."

:47:08
"I wear the gold lamé shoes to school."
:47:12
"I go to school in evening shoes
decorated with little paste jewels."

:47:17
"It is my wish..."
:47:22
Admirable...
:47:24
Unquestionably admirable.
How can one resist?

:47:28
You, you are admirable.
:47:31
It's you I want, not the book.
:47:34
I've thought of nothing but you
since our last session.

:47:38
Look...
:47:42
Look at us.
Don't you think we suit each other?

:47:46
No.
:47:49
And this way? I'm free,
so are you, let's get married.

:47:52
No.
:47:54
Not free?
:47:56
But why aren't you?
It's a tragedy.

:47:58
No, I am free, a little, quite free,
or not, it depends. But I don't marry.

:48:04
It's my fault.
Because I lied. It's unworthy.

:48:06
Why didn't I admit it all?
You guessed?

:48:09
Mental block. I take a book,
you take a book, I fall asleep.

:48:13
So I thought that with your voice
I could at last enter...

:48:18
There.
:48:19
You'd have been my redeemer,
:48:21
my initiator, my muse...
:48:24
No.
:48:26
I am your reader.
:48:29
Not just a reader?
You're a bit something else?

:48:32
- No.
- Well, then read.

:48:35
But I fully intend to take this further,
believe me.

:48:39
Well, then I'll read.
:48:42
"It is not the shoes that are unusual,
:48:45
unparalleled, that day,
in the girl's attire."

:48:47
"What it is, that day, is her hat,
a man's hat with a flat brim."

:48:52
"Soft, rosewood-coloured felt
with a wide black band..."

:48:56
- The first sentence again.
- Did I wake you?

:48:59
- "It is not the shoes that are..."
- No, the first one, earlier on.
