Since not so long ago
Paris has changed so
:45:05
All her best sights
Full of Levites
:45:07
And gruff Muscovites
:45:09
Or with Spaniards
Camping out on the boulevards
:45:12
Worse than Venice
Ancient Memphis
:45:14
But it's not Paris!
:45:15
And so we find ourselves
jammed in
:45:18
By people their fortune
here to win
:45:22
ln the bars
You've Magyars
:45:23
With cashiers
From Algiers
:45:25
From Vadodara
Or from Ankara
:45:27
We'll end up with cholera
:45:29
And so we find ourselves
jammed in
:45:32
Sweep them out
before they settle in
:45:35
They show gall
:45:36
Take it all
While we sit by and just cry
:45:39
Who'll get us out
of the jam we're in?
:45:43
A man must never let himself
get jammed in!
:45:47
What were you saying
about me this time?
:45:48
My poor little Gilberte.
You're so nervous.
:45:50
ls Thomson here yet?
:45:52
l thought you'd ask me that.
:45:55
Yes, l just saw him
at the buffet, where else?
:45:58
Excellent. Excuse me,
l need to have a word with him.
:46:06
See that? lt's been that way
for a week now,
:46:09
ever since Thomson got here.
:46:11
They're always chasing after
one another.
:46:12
They can't bear to be apart
for a minute!
:46:13
You're proof that
they share the same tastes.
:46:16
He has moved in here,
he takes all his meals here.
:46:18
l see more of him now
than when we were married.
:46:20
-And what's he like?
-Very polite.
:46:22
So what are you
complaining about?
:46:24
This. Watch.
:46:28
He's like the police.
:46:29
He's following me like a thief.
:46:32
Or like the French President!
:46:33
He saw l was with you,
so he turned away!
:46:36
He's not likely
to be drawn to me!
:46:43
l can't take anymore.
:46:44
That music has
a totally numbing effect on me.
:46:46
Dear me, Faradel,
are you deserting?
:46:48
My neighbours keep complaining
that my hiccups annoy them.
:46:52
-Some people are leaving.
-What?
:46:54
You're driving our guests away.
l must stop them.
:46:57
At last, alone with you.
