:49:00
It's gone beyond work.
:49:02
You're part of my life now.
:49:04
Stop it...
:49:14
We'll talk later.
:49:17
He's a banker.
The Paris-Taiwan connection.
:49:20
Yet a hard-line European.
:49:26
It's odd. For me,
you're that young, naive judge.
:49:30
I can't see you
as a businessman.
:49:32
You're intrigued.
:49:34
But I was one.
:49:36
They say you were fearsome.
:49:39
Fearsome? No more than any other.
No less, either.
:49:44
But you made money.
:49:46
A lot?
:49:48
You don't regret it.
:49:50
Not at all.
:49:54
You mind my asking?
:49:57
Once back in France,
I got one assignment, then another.
:50:01
But it didn't seem real anymore.
:50:03
That's when I realized
how utterly unimportant I was.
:50:08
At first,
:50:09
business was an escape,
:50:11
then it became a game.
:50:13
Were you married then?
:50:15
Lucie wasn't against it.
:50:17
She saw me get sucked in.
:50:20
Not to criticize Lucie,
:50:22
but she didn't mind
the material benefits.
:50:27
Mostly, I liked how it was a game,
:50:30
though it could get ugly.
:50:32
We really behaved like cannibals.
:50:36
It had its poetry, but it doesn't
leave you a better man.
:50:52
Your presence here has little effect
on the average age.
