:32:02
Youre a fine shot, sir.
:32:04
I can see youre 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 doesnt need your
protection, by God. Fascinating creature.
:32:16
Im sure shed 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 doesnt 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 dont you take it to him yourself?
:32:39
Ive been avoiding him all morning.
:32:42
Hes 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 cant imagine any man resisting
this prose. It would melt the Alps.
:33:03
But tell me,
why do you pounce on our poor Chopin?
:33:08
My dear, hes got one foot in the grave.
:33:13
No, no.
:33:14
We shall all be in our graves soon enough.
:33:17
But Chopin is eternal.
:33:21
The only permanent thing about him
is his cough.
:33:25
"(Duke)" Ah.
:33:29
- All right.
- Thank you, my friend.
:33:32
Madame Sand, will you delight us
with your company on a hunt?
:33:35
I must decline, Your Excellency.
:33:37
My maid is fitting me for a dress
this afternoon.
:33:41
A dress?
