:03:00
That's the word l'd like to write.
:03:03
Modern life is too fast-paced
:03:06
to allow any room
for a feeling so ardent,
:03:10
so tender.
:03:15
We shrug our shoulders
at this chaste betrothal with the future.
:03:21
Modern man has no time to hope,
:03:25
nor to love.
:03:45
lt's the little people who hope.
Not the modern world.
:03:55
Like the saints
who atone and love for us.
:04:01
Everywhere in our poor Europe,
:04:03
the tradition of modest expectations
is in the hands of the poor.
:04:07
Like old seamstresses,
whose lace work
:04:14
no machine could ever match.
:04:18
You'll say that these poor fools...
:04:21
Living on expectations, are no more
laudable for hoping than for living.
:04:25
Probably...
:04:29
Next!
:04:31
Mr Vitalis, l'm Baron Felix.
:04:34
''War is easy. lt's...''
:04:37
So is it yes?
:04:43
What's your film called?
:04:45
''The Fatal Bolero''.
:04:49
100,000 francs.
:04:53
Go on.
:04:56
1,000,000 francs.
:04:58
Good thing l'm not serious
or l'd think it over for another year.
