Hello.
:20:38
So what are we today, Cleante ?
:20:40
Is it bullfinch or nightingale ?
:20:42
- There's but one kind of bird
in a madhouse, Abbe.
- Oh, don't tell me.
:20:47
- A loon. -
:20:49
Sorry, I've heard
that one before.
:20:56
- It's a long story, this one.
:21:00
The climax comes
at a higher cost.
:21:03
- You must sit on my lap.
:21:05
- You demand a lot from your readers.
:21:09
The story's thrilling conclusion
comes at a premium.
:21:14
- What's that then ?
- Your maidenhead.
:21:16
And then you must sew it up
as tightly as the day you were born,
:21:19
and come back to me renewed
so I can deflower you a second time.
:21:23
Some things belong on paper...
:21:26
others in life.
:21:28
Blessed fool who can't tell
the difference-
:21:32
Mademoiselle LeClerc.
:21:35
You're in the nick of time.
:21:39
This old letch forgot himself.
:21:42
He thought I was a character
in one of his nasty stories.
:21:45
- Madeleine.
- Yes, Abbe ?
:21:48
The next time you feel
the urge to visit the marquis...
:21:52
I hope you'll come
to confession instead.
:21:55
Care for a splash
of wine, Abbe ?
