:46:00
I onIy think
of the audience's enjoyment

:46:04
and not mine.
:46:06
It's true you need to have pity.
:46:08
But what good is a fiIm
if the audience don't enjoy it?

:46:13
If you think I act badIy,
then I too wiII have to Ieave.

:46:17
It's true I'm crazy
about the movies.

:46:19
Every night I faII asIeep
:46:22
thinking about the movies,
I dream about actors,

:46:25
every week I read
aII the movie magazines.

:46:28
I'm not saying
I'm the onIy one to do that.

:46:32
But uItimateIy,
:46:34
it's down to the director
to trust his experience and choose.

:46:38
Cut.
:46:39
TeII her to come back.
:46:41
If you had to choose,
:46:45
wouId you rather be an artist
:46:47
or a humane person?
:46:50
Of course everyone prefers
a humane person.

:46:54
Between staying and being an artist
and Ieaving and being humane,

:46:59
what wouId you choose?
:47:00
I'd Ieave and stay humane.
:47:03
- Leave and stay humane?
- Yes, of course.

:47:06
It's up to you.
:47:08
You see, I chose art
:47:12
for its humanity.
:47:15
I've noticed that an artist
:47:17
has more respect for a mosquito
than other peopIe,

:47:22
Iike engineers
who Iive with formuIas

:47:26
rather than with feeIings.
:47:28
- An artist is more humane.
- Are you staying?

:47:31
It wouId destroy me
if I gave up art.

:47:34
But if you think that, by going,
I'II stay human, I'II go.

:47:39
If you stay, you'II be an artist.
:47:42
If you go, you'II be more humane.
:47:44
So wiII you.
:47:47
The one who wants to be an artist
can stay.

:47:50
The one who wants to be more humane
:47:52
shouId go and not turn round.
:47:55
I want to be more humane,
so I'II go,

:47:57
but it'd destroy me
to have to give up art.
