2:22:01
Thoughts of what nature?
2:22:11
Concerning your next piece.
2:22:13
Ah! That monster.
2:22:15
No, not as yet.
2:22:20
Perhaps you should do something
completely different and unusual.
2:22:24
- Such as what?
- Oh, well, I don't know!
2:22:27
Come along, suggest something!
2:22:29
Oh...
2:22:36
Well, you should have
a young and beautiful heroine...
2:22:42
...who grows old and plain.
2:22:46
As she gradually becomes
older and older...
2:22:48
...the ladies' chorus
becomes younger and younger.
2:22:52
Ah. Topsy-Turvy.
2:22:54
Yes.
2:22:58
How would it commence,
this comic opera of yours?
2:23:02
With the gentlemen's chorus, of course.
2:23:06
A chorus of fat leeches.
2:23:08
- Leeches?
- Yes!
2:23:10
No, they'd be gentlemen.
2:23:12
They'd be in their carriages
and they'd be rushing across the stage.
2:23:16
The horses would be
galloping across the stage...
2:23:18
...with the ladies chasing after them
to talk to them...
2:23:22
...but they wouldn't be listening,
they'd be far too busy.
2:23:27
Hmm.
2:23:28
Expensive to stage.
2:23:31
And there'd be dozens of doors...
2:23:33
...and ticking clocks on the stage.
2:23:35
He's made a vow to give her the key...
2:23:38
...but he never does.
2:23:40
Who might "he" be?
2:23:44
Well, he's her husband, I suppose.
2:23:46
The hero.
2:23:49
No, not the hero.
2:23:51
Anyway.
2:23:52
One day...
2:23:54
No.
2:23:56
Late one night...
2:23:58
...she suddenly decides to try the door...
