:09:00
I don't like this ending.
:09:07
Don't like the ending,
my dear Duke?
:09:09
Why would the courtesan choose
a penniless sitar player...
:09:13
over the maharajah,
:09:15
who is offering
a lifetime of security?
:09:18
That's real love.
:09:20
Once the sitar player
has satisfied his lust,
:09:24
he will leave the courtesan
with nothing.
:09:26
I suggest that in the end
the courtesan choose the maharajah.
:09:30
B-But, sorry--
:09:33
Sorry, but that ending
does not uphold the bohemian
ideals of truth, beauty, freedom--
:09:39
I don't care about
your ridiculous dogma!
:09:41
Why shouldn't the courtesan
choose the maharajah?
:09:45
Because she doesn't love you!
:09:52
H-Him.
:09:55
H-Him. Sh-She doesn't love h--
She doesn't love him.
:10:04
Oh, I see.
:10:14
Monsieur Zidler,
this ending will be rewritten...
:10:20
with the courtesan
choosing the maharajah...
:10:24
and without
the lovers' secret song.
:10:29
It will be rehearsed
in the morning,
:10:32
ready for the opening
tomorrow night.
:10:34
M-My dear Duke,
th-that'll be quite impossible.
:10:38
Harold! Oh!
:10:41
The poor Duke is
being treated appallingly.
:10:45
These silly writers let their
imaginations run away with them.
:10:55
Now, why don't you and I...
:10:58
have a little supper,
