:31:00
involve a railway terminus.
:31:04
And now I must go
to the station myself.
:31:07
Sarah Bernhardt thinks
she knows better than I do
:31:10
how to play Salome.
:31:11
Stay.
:31:14
Please stay.
:31:17
At least... at least
till this evening.
:31:22
Sarah is divine, as you are.
:31:24
She will be wonderful
at the play's climax
:31:27
when Salome kisses the lips
:31:29
of the severed head
of John the Baptist.
:31:31
"Ah, thou wouldst not suffer me
:31:33
"to kiss thy mouth, Jokanaan. "
:31:35
Jokanaan is an old
Hebrew name for John.
:31:38
"Well, I will kiss it now.
:31:39
"I will bite it with my teeth
:31:41
"as one bites a ripe fruit.
:31:44
"Yes... I will kiss
thy mouth, Jokanaan.
:31:47
"Thy body is white
:31:48
"like the snows that lie
on the mountains.
:31:52
"Like the snows that lie
on the mountains of Judaea
:31:55
"and come down into the valleys.
:31:58
"The roses in the garden
of the Queen of Arabia
:32:01
"are not so white as thy body. "
:32:10
I'm not
good enough for him any more.
:32:15
I'm just the son
of a carpenter, while Bosie...
:32:18
Oscar's only ever
been smitten before.
:32:22
He was smitten with me.
:32:25
He was smitten with you.
:32:26
I wasn't smitten!
:32:33
I loved him.
:32:34
Well...
:32:37
now he's fallen in love.
:32:39
I'm halfway to hellfire.
I'm not joking.
:32:43
Someone else
was a carpenter's son.
:32:48
I've given in
and become a Catholic.
:32:52
I find confession...
:32:55
wonderfully consoling.
:32:56
I can't go to confession...
