Impromptu

:31:02

Good morning... master.

:31:07

- Morning, Excellency.
- Claudette.

:31:15

Ah. Velvet flowers.

:31:20

Did you make these, Claudette?

:31:23

I have a tiny talent
and an enormous amount of time.

:31:27

But have you come to work?
I will leave you in peace.

:31:31

Oh, no. "(giggles)"

:31:33

It’s very bad.

:31:35

No, don’t!

:31:36

Ooh!

:31:39

That’s really quite good.

:31:53

One, two.

:31:55

(piano transcription of Beethoven’s
”Symphony No.6 in F”)

:32:02

You’re a fine shot, sir.

:32:04

I can see you’re not
one of those perfumed prancers in there.

:32:08

- What do you say to a little hunting?
- I am standing guard on my mistress.

:32:12

That one? She doesn’t need your
protection, by God. Fascinating creature.

:32:16

I’m sure she’d rather
come hunting with us

:32:19

than sit around arranging her flounces.

:32:22

”One warm word from you and I live.
One brutal word and I die.”

:32:26

”It doesn’t matter,
for I am not afraid of death any more.”

:32:30

”I have already visited the beyond
in your music.”

:32:34

- Will you take it to him?
- Why don’t you take it to him yourself?

:32:39

I’ve been avoiding him all morning.

:32:42

He’s had a poor first impression of me,
I fear.

:32:46

Before I meet him again, I want him
to be convinced of my complete sincerity.

:32:53

Well? What do you think?

:32:56

Look, you know him.
How will he respond?

:32:59

I can’t imagine any man resisting
this prose. It would melt the Alps.
