:54:04
Oh, this heat! Will it never rain?
:54:07
Here sits my stupid lout of a husband.
I don’t know what God sees in him.

:54:13
Ah, who can express
the despair of youth married to age?

:54:18
My husband is 600 years old
while I am but 150!

:54:27
A dove! Ha!
:54:30
What luck!
There will be good hunting today!

:54:34
Look!
:54:38
It has begun to rain! Stupid, stupid rain!
:54:43
Yes, I have sent the stupid rain
to fall upon the earth

:54:47
and stupidity
shall engulf all its inhabitants.

:54:50
Hurry now to the ark
:54:52
and fill it with two each
of the creatures of land, sea and air.

:54:56
Lord, we have no need for animals.
:54:59
Art alone will save the world.
:55:02
We’ll need two of everything.
Two poets, painters, musicians...

:55:06
They will not come - your conversation
is not witty and you have no ideals.

:55:11
"(laughs)" True.
:55:13
But we shall also give them free food
and lodging for 40 days and nights.

:55:17
We shall also need two playwrights,
two composers,

:55:21
two makers of velvet flowers.
:55:23
Now you go too far.
:55:24
But it is an art, surely.
:55:27
Noette, come quickly!
This stupid rain is up to our waists!

:55:33
We are now half-stupid!
Soon we shall be completely stupid!

:55:38
No matter! We shall have geniuses
surrounding us on the ark

:55:41
and so our stupidity shall be concealed.
:55:45
I want no further part of this production!
:55:51
Madame Sand, you insult our hosts.
:55:54
But... it’s in the spirit of fun,
Monsieur Chopin.

:55:59
You disgrace our position as guests.
