Impromptu

:07:05

(coughs)

:07:08

This summer dust is ruinous to my lungs.
I hope the air will be better in Angers.

:07:14

The Duchess d’Antan has invited you too?

:07:17

- Well, yes.
- How delightful.

:07:20

Please continue, dear fellow.

:07:30

- Good day, Countess.
- "(gasps)" George!

:07:33

- I’m sorry I frightened you.
- (baby cries)

:07:36

I had the most fearful dream.

:07:38

Blandine was a terrible creature
with fly’s wings

:07:43

that was draining my life from me.

:07:46

They are deadly little charmers.

:07:51

Chromatic glissando.

:07:53

The wings of a butterfly.

:07:56

Or the wrath of God.

:08:00

(baby cries)

:08:02

He wakes the baby,
then complains about the crying.

:08:05

- How is Franz?
- He’s a saint. Sublime.

:08:09

He’ll even stay that way
if you don’t marry him.

:08:12

Yes, well, there’s no danger of that.
The count won’t divorce me.

:08:16

Since I left him, he won’t even allow me
to see the children.

:08:20

Well, now you’ve begun a new family.

:08:26

Still, I prefer to be married.

:08:29

I know you thumb your nose at all that.

:08:32

It’s funny.

:08:37

I thought I’d die of suffocation
when I was married.

:08:40

Now it’s my freedom that’s killing me.

:08:43

(baby cries)

:08:45

Sophie!

:08:47

Tell me, have you been invited
to Angers next week?

:08:51

The Duke and Duchess d’Antan
have asked us to their estate.

:08:54

(baby screams)

:08:55

Sophie!
Where is that wretch? Excuse me.
