THE MISER |
| 00:01:04 |
What, dear Élise, |
| 00:01:06 |
...after having given me such dear |
| 00:01:11 |
I see you sigh in |
| 00:01:13 |
Can you regret having |
| 00:01:16 |
Do you repent of the engagement |
| 00:01:18 |
No, Valère, I do not regret |
| 00:01:22 |
I feel carried on |
| 00:01:24 |
...and I do not even wish that things |
| 00:01:27 |
Yes, I am anxious |
| 00:01:30 |
I greatly fear that I love you |
| 00:01:33 |
What can you fear from the |
| 00:01:36 |
Alas! A hundred things at a time. |
| 00:01:40 |
The anger of my father the |
| 00:01:42 |
...the censure of the world... |
| 00:01:47 |
...and, above all, Valère, |
| 00:01:51 |
I fear that coldness with which your sex repays |
| 00:01:57 |
Do not judge of me by others. |
| 00:01:59 |
Think me capable of everything, Élise, |
| 00:02:04 |
I love you too much for that. |
| 00:02:06 |
And my love will be as lasting |
| 00:02:08 |
Ah! Valère, all men |
| 00:02:12 |
All men are alike in |
| 00:02:14 |
Their actions only show the difference |
| 00:02:19 |
Then why not wait for actions... |
| 00:02:21 |
...if by them alone you can judge |
| 00:02:24 |
Do not suffer your anxious fears to |
| 00:02:30 |
Do not let an unjust suspicion destroy the |
| 00:02:33 |
...but give me time to show you by a thousand |
| 00:02:37 |
How easily do we allow ourselves to |
| 00:02:42 |
Valère, I feel sure that your heart is |
| 00:02:45 |
...that your love is sincere, and that |
| 00:02:49 |
If I grieve, it will only be over |
| 00:02:53 |
But why even this fear? |
| 00:02:55 |
If everybody knew you as I do, |
| 00:02:59 |
I find in you enough to |
| 00:03:03 |
My heart knows all your merit... |
| 00:03:06 |
...and feels, moreover, bound to you... |
| 00:03:08 |
...by deep gratitude. |
| 00:03:10 |
How can I forget that |
| 00:03:14 |
...we met for the |
| 00:03:16 |
Your generous courage... |
| 00:03:18 |
...in risking your own life to save |
| 00:03:22 |
Your tender care afterwards, |
| 00:03:27 |
...and your ardent love... |
| 00:03:29 |
...which neither time nor |
| 00:03:32 |
For me you neglect your |
| 00:03:35 |
...you give up your |
| 00:03:39 |
...to be a servant of my father. |
| 00:03:45 |
How can I resist the influence |
| 00:03:49 |
Is it not enough... |
| 00:03:50 |
...to justify in my eyes |
| 00:03:53 |
Yet, who knows if it will be enough |
| 00:03:56 |
And how can I feel sure that |
| 00:04:00 |
It is by my love alone |
| 00:04:04 |
As for your scruples, your father himself |
| 00:04:08 |
And his avarice might authorise |
| 00:04:15 |
Forgive me, my dear Élise, for |
| 00:04:17 |
...but you know that, |
| 00:04:21 |
However, if I can find my parents, |
| 00:04:23 |
...they will soon be |
| 00:04:26 |
I am expecting news of |
| 00:04:27 |
...but if none comes I will |
| 00:04:29 |
Oh no! Do not leave me. Try rather to |
| 00:04:34 |
You can see how I set about it... |
| 00:04:35 |
...and the manoeuvres I have had |
| 00:04:42 |
...into his service. |
| 00:04:44 |
You know what a part |
| 00:04:48 |
I succeed wonderfully well... |
| 00:04:49 |
...and I feel that to obtain favour with men, |
| 00:04:55 |
Fall in with their maxims, praise their defects, |
| 00:04:59 |
One need not fear to overdo it... |
| 00:05:02 |
...for however gross the |
| 00:05:04 |
...the most cunning are easily duped. |
| 00:05:08 |
There is nothing so |
| 00:05:11 |
...which they will not believe, provided |
| 00:05:14 |
Honesty suffers, I acknowledge... |
| 00:05:16 |
...but when we have need of men, |
| 00:05:20 |
...and if we have no other hope of success, |
| 00:05:23 |
...but the fault of those |
| 00:05:25 |
Why do you not try also |
| 00:05:28 |
...in case the servant |
| 00:05:30 |
I am afraid I cannot |
| 00:05:32 |
The temper of the father |
| 00:05:36 |
Rather try your brother |
| 00:05:39 |
Make use of the love |
| 00:05:41 |
...to enlist him in our cause. |
| 00:05:43 |
I leave you, for he's coming. |
| 00:05:48 |
Speak to him, sound him, |
| 00:05:52 |
I fear I shall never have the courage |
| 00:06:13 |
I am very glad to find |
| 00:06:18 |
I longed to speak to |
| 00:06:21 |
I am quite ready to hear you, brother. |
| 00:06:26 |
Many things, sister, |
| 00:06:29 |
Love! |
| 00:06:32 |
You love? |
| 00:06:34 |
Yes, I love. |
| 00:06:36 |
But, before I say more, let me tell you |
| 00:06:39 |
...and that the name of son |
| 00:06:41 |
...that it would be wrong to engage |
| 00:06:46 |
...that heaven has made him our master |
| 00:06:49 |
...not to dispose of ourselves |
| 00:06:50 |
That their judgment is not biassed by |
| 00:06:53 |
...that they, therefore, judge better |
| 00:06:56 |
...that we ought to trust their experience |
| 00:07:00 |
...and that the rashness of youth |
| 00:07:02 |
...to the very brink |
| 00:07:04 |
I know all this, my sister, |
| 00:07:05 |
...to spare you the trouble |
| 00:07:08 |
...for my love will not let me |
| 00:07:10 |
...and I pray you to spare me |
| 00:07:14 |
Have you engaged yourself, |
| 00:07:17 |
No, but I have determined |
| 00:07:20 |
...and I beseech you not to bring |
| 00:07:23 |
Am I such a very strange |
| 00:07:25 |
No, dear sister, |
| 00:07:29 |
You know not the sweet power |
| 00:07:32 |
...and I dread your wisdom. |
| 00:07:34 |
Alas! my brother, let us |
| 00:07:37 |
There are very few people in this |
| 00:07:40 |
...if I opened my heart to you, you would |
| 00:07:45 |
Ah! would to heaven that |
| 00:07:47 |
Let us speak of you first, |
| 00:07:53 |
A young girl who has lately come |
| 00:07:58 |
...and who seems made to inspire |
| 00:08:01 |
Nature, my dear sister, |
| 00:08:04 |
...and I felt another man |
| 00:08:08 |
Her name is Marianne... |
| 00:08:10 |
...and she lives with |
| 00:08:13 |
...who is almost always ill... |
| 00:08:15 |
...and for whom the dear girl |
| 00:08:19 |
She waits upon her, pities |
| 00:08:22 |
...with a tenderness that would |
| 00:08:25 |
Whatever she undertakes is |
| 00:08:29 |
...and in all her actions |
| 00:08:31 |
...a most winning gentleness, |
| 00:08:35 |
Ah, my sister, how I wish |
| 00:08:38 |
I see many things in what |
| 00:08:40 |
...and it is sufficient for me to know you |
| 00:08:43 |
I have discovered, without their |
| 00:08:46 |
...are not in good circumstances, and have |
| 00:08:51 |
Can you imagine, my sister... |
| 00:08:53 |
...what happiness it must be to improve |
| 00:08:57 |
...skilfully to bring about some relief to |
| 00:09:02 |
And think what grief... |
| 00:09:04 |
...it is for me to find myself |
| 00:09:06 |
...through the avarice of a father, |
| 00:09:10 |
...to give any proof of my |
| 00:09:13 |
Yes, I understand, dear brother, |
| 00:09:16 |
It is greater, my sister, |
| 00:09:19 |
For is there anything more cruel than |
| 00:09:23 |
This strange penury |
| 00:09:26 |
What good is it to have a fortune if it only |
| 00:09:31 |
If now to provide for my daily maintenance |
| 00:09:35 |
If both you and I are reduced daily to beg the help of |
| 00:09:41 |
I wanted to ask you to help me sound |
| 00:09:45 |
...and if I find him opposed to them... |
| 00:09:47 |
...I am determined to go and live |
| 00:09:49 |
...and to make the best of |
| 00:09:53 |
I am trying everywhere |
| 00:09:56 |
...and if your circumstances, |
| 00:09:58 |
...and our father opposes us... |
| 00:10:01 |
...let us both leave him... |
| 00:10:03 |
...and free ourselves from the tyranny in which |
| 00:10:06 |
It is true that every day he gives us more reason |
| 00:10:12 |
I hear his voice. Let us go a little |
| 00:10:14 |
We will afterwards join our forces to make a |
| 00:13:25 |
Get out of here, this moment. |
| 00:13:28 |
Be gone out of my house... |
| 00:13:31 |
...you sworn pickpocket, you |
| 00:13:36 |
I never saw anything more wicked |
| 00:13:38 |
...and I truly believe |
| 00:13:40 |
What are you muttering |
| 00:13:41 |
Why do you send me away? |
| 00:13:42 |
You dare to ask me my reasons? |
| 00:13:48 |
What have I done to you? |
| 00:13:49 |
Done this, that I wish you to be off. |
| 00:13:53 |
My master, your son, gave me |
| 00:13:55 |
Go and wait for him |
| 00:13:57 |
Don't stay here to see what is going on, |
| 00:14:02 |
I won't always have before |
| 00:14:05 |
...a treacherous scamp, whose cursed eyes |
| 00:14:07 |
...covet all I possess, and ferret about in every |
| 00:14:12 |
How do you want me to... |
| 00:14:13 |
To steal! |
| 00:14:14 |
Are you a man |
| 00:14:16 |
...when you put every possible |
| 00:14:18 |
...and mount guard day and night? |
| 00:14:19 |
I will lock up whatever I think fit, |
| 00:14:22 |
Did you ever see such spies as are set |
| 00:14:28 |
I tremble for fear he should |
| 00:14:32 |
Now, aren't you a fellow to give rise to |
| 00:14:36 |
You have some money |
| 00:14:37 |
No, scoundrel! |
| 00:14:40 |
I am furious! |
| 00:14:41 |
I only ask if you do not spread |
| 00:14:45 |
What does it matter whether you have |
| 00:14:49 |
You want to argue, do you? |
| 00:14:52 |
Very well. I am going. |
| 00:14:55 |
Wait. |
| 00:14:57 |
Are you carrying anything |
| 00:14:58 |
What can I possibly carry away? |
| 00:15:00 |
Come here, and let me see. |
| 00:15:03 |
Show me your hands. |
| 00:15:04 |
The others. |
| 00:15:05 |
The others? |
| 00:15:07 |
There they are. |
| 00:15:10 |
Have you anything hid |
| 00:15:12 |
Look for yourself. |
| 00:15:16 |
These wide knee-breeches are convenient |
| 00:15:20 |
...and I wish a pair |
| 00:15:23 |
How richly such a man |
| 00:15:25 |
...and what joy it would be |
| 00:15:29 |
What? |
| 00:15:30 |
What is it you talk of stealing? |
| 00:15:31 |
I say that you feel about everywhere |
| 00:15:35 |
And I mean to do so too. |
| 00:15:38 |
Plague take all misers |
| 00:15:41 |
Eh? What do you say? |
| 00:15:43 |
What do I say? |
| 00:15:44 |
Yes. What is it you say about |
| 00:15:47 |
I say plague take all misers |
| 00:15:51 |
Of whom do you speak? |
| 00:15:53 |
Of misers. |
| 00:15:54 |
And who are they, these misers? |
| 00:15:56 |
Villains and stingy wretches! |
| 00:15:58 |
But what do you mean by that? |
| 00:16:00 |
Why do you trouble yourself |
| 00:16:02 |
I trouble myself because |
| 00:16:03 |
Do you think I am speaking about you? |
| 00:16:05 |
I think what I think, but I insist you tell |
| 00:16:08 |
To whom I speak? I am speaking |
| 00:16:10 |
And I will, perhaps, speak to |
| 00:16:12 |
Would you prevent |
| 00:16:13 |
No, but I will prevent you from |
| 00:16:15 |
I name nobody. |
| 00:16:16 |
Another word, and I'll thrash you. |
| 00:16:18 |
He whom the cap fits, |
| 00:16:20 |
Will you be silent? |
| 00:16:21 |
Yes, much against my will. |
| 00:16:22 |
Just look, here is one more pocket. |
| 00:16:33 |
Come, give it up to me... |
| 00:16:36 |
without all that fuss. |
| 00:16:39 |
Give you what? |
| 00:16:40 |
What you have stolen from me. |
| 00:16:42 |
I have stolen nothing |
| 00:16:43 |
Are you telling the truth? |
| 00:16:44 |
Yes. |
| 00:16:46 |
Good-bye, then, and now |
| 00:16:51 |
That's a nice way |
| 00:16:53 |
I leave it to your |
| 00:17:04 |
This rascally valet is a |
| 00:17:06 |
...and I hate the very sight |
| 00:17:09 |
It is no small anxiety to keep |
| 00:17:13 |
...and happy is the man who has all |
| 00:17:15 |
...and who needs not keep by him more |
| 00:17:18 |
I am not a little puzzled to find in the |
| 00:17:23 |
Don't speak to me of your |
| 00:17:25 |
I will never trust to them. |
| 00:17:28 |
Why, they are just the very |
| 00:17:32 |
Meanwhile, I hardly know whether |
| 00:17:37 |
...the ten thousand crowns which were |
| 00:17:40 |
Ten thousand crowns in |
| 00:17:46 |
Good heavens! |
| 00:17:49 |
My warmth has carried me away. |
| 00:17:54 |
What do you want? |
| 00:17:56 |
Nothing, father. |
| 00:18:00 |
Have you been here long? |
| 00:18:01 |
We have only just come. |
| 00:18:03 |
Did you hear? |
| 00:18:04 |
There. |
| 00:18:05 |
What I was just now saying. |
| 00:18:08 |
You did. |
| 00:18:10 |
I see well enough that you |
| 00:18:12 |
I was only talking to myself about |
| 00:18:15 |
...to raise any money. |
| 00:18:16 |
And I was saying that he is a fortunate man |
| 00:18:20 |
We were afraid of coming near you, |
| 00:18:23 |
I am very glad to tell you this, so that |
| 00:18:26 |
and imagine that I said that it was |
| 00:18:29 |
We do not wish to |
| 00:18:31 |
Would that I had them, |
| 00:18:35 |
I should not think that... |
| 00:18:36 |
What a capital affair |
| 00:18:38 |
There are things... |
| 00:18:39 |
I greatly need them. |
| 00:18:41 |
I fancy that... |
| 00:18:42 |
It would suit me exceedingly well. |
| 00:18:44 |
And I should not have to complain, |
| 00:18:58 |
You have no reason to complain and everyone |
| 00:19:02 |
How? I am well enough off! |
| 00:19:04 |
Nothing can be more false, and they |
| 00:19:07 |
Don't be angry. |
| 00:19:09 |
It is strange that my own children |
| 00:19:12 |
Is it being your enemy to say |
| 00:19:14 |
Yes, it is. |
| 00:19:15 |
Such talk and your extravagant |
| 00:19:17 |
...that some day thieves |
| 00:19:19 |
...in the belief |
| 00:19:22 |
What extravagant expenses |
| 00:19:23 |
Is there anything more scandalous... |
| 00:19:24 |
...than this sumptuous attire with |
| 00:19:27 |
I was remonstrating |
| 00:19:28 |
...but you are still worse. |
| 00:19:30 |
It cries vengeance to heaven and |
| 00:19:32 |
...we should find enough |
| 00:19:35 |
I have told you a hundred times, |
| 00:19:38 |
...you affect the marquis terribly... |
| 00:19:40 |
...and for you to be always dressed |
| 00:19:43 |
Rob you? And how? |
| 00:19:45 |
Where else could you find money enough |
| 00:19:48 |
I play... |
| 00:19:50 |
...and as I am very lucky, I spend in |
| 00:19:53 |
It is very wrong. If you are lucky |
| 00:19:56 |
...and place the money you |
| 00:19:58 |
...so that you may |
| 00:19:59 |
I should like to know, for instance, |
| 00:20:02 |
...with which you are decked |
| 00:20:05 |
...and if half a dozen tags are not |
| 00:20:09 |
What necessity is there to spend money |
| 00:20:14 |
...which costs nothing? |
| 00:20:19 |
I will lay a wager that, in wigs and ribbons alone, |
| 00:20:22 |
...and twenty pistoles brings in at least eighteen |
| 00:20:26 |
...at only eight per cent interest. |
| 00:20:28 |
You are quite right. |
| 00:20:29 |
Enough on this subject. |
| 00:20:37 |
I believe they are making signs |
| 00:20:41 |
What do you mean by those signs? |
| 00:20:43 |
We are hesitating as |
| 00:20:46 |
... for we both have |
| 00:20:48 |
And I also have something to tell you both. |
| 00:20:52 |
We wanted to speak to you... |
| 00:20:53 |
...about marriage, father. |
| 00:20:55 |
The very thing ... |
| 00:20:56 |
I wish to speak to you about. |
| 00:20:58 |
Ah! my father! |
| 00:20:59 |
What is the meaning of that exclamation? Is it |
| 00:21:03 |
Marriage may frighten us both |
| 00:21:08 |
...and our feelings may perhaps |
| 00:21:13 |
A little patience, if you please. |
| 00:21:15 |
I know what is good for you both... |
| 00:21:16 |
...and you will have no reason to complain |
| 00:21:21 |
To begin at the beginning. |
| 00:21:24 |
Do you know, tell me... |
| 00:21:27 |
...a young person, called Marianne... |
| 00:21:29 |
...who lives not far from here? |
| 00:21:34 |
Yes, father. |
| 00:21:36 |
And you? |
| 00:21:37 |
I have heard her spoken of. |
| 00:21:39 |
Well, my son, |
| 00:21:42 |
She is very charming. |
| 00:21:44 |
Her face? |
| 00:21:45 |
Modest and intelligent. |
| 00:21:47 |
Her air and manner? |
| 00:21:48 |
Perfect, undoubtedly. |
| 00:21:49 |
Do you not think that such a girl |
| 00:21:54 |
Yes, father. |
| 00:21:55 |
She would form a very desirable match? |
| 00:21:56 |
Very desirable. |
| 00:21:58 |
That there is every likelihood of her |
| 00:22:00 |
Certainly. |
| 00:22:01 |
And that a husband might |
| 00:22:04 |
I have not the least doubt about it. |
| 00:22:05 |
There is one little difficulty. |
| 00:22:07 |
I am afraid she has not the |
| 00:22:11 |
Riches are of little importance when one |
| 00:22:15 |
I beg your pardon. |
| 00:22:17 |
If we do not find as much |
| 00:22:20 |
...we may make it up in |
| 00:22:23 |
That follows as a matter of course. |
| 00:22:24 |
I must say that I am very much pleased to |
| 00:22:27 |
...for her modest manner and her |
| 00:22:32 |
...and I have made up my mind to marry her, |
| 00:22:38 |
What? |
| 00:22:39 |
You are resolved, you say...? |
| 00:22:41 |
To marry Marianne. |
| 00:22:42 |
Who? You? You? |
| 00:22:44 |
Yes, I, I, I. |
| 00:22:48 |
What does all this mean? |
| 00:22:49 |
I feel a sudden dizziness... |
| 00:22:53 |
...and I must withdraw for a while. |
| 00:22:57 |
It will be nothing. Go quickly into the kitchen |
| 00:23:01 |
There goes one of your effeminate fops, |
| 00:23:04 |
That is what I have resolved |
| 00:23:06 |
As to your brother, I have thought of a |
| 00:23:10 |
And you I shall give to Mr. Anselme. |
| 00:23:13 |
To Mr. Anselme? |
| 00:23:15 |
Yes, a staid and prudent man... |
| 00:23:16 |
...who is not above fifty... |
| 00:23:18 |
...and of whose riches |
| 00:23:20 |
I have no wish to marry, |
| 00:23:22 |
And I, my little girl, my darling, I |
| 00:23:27 |
I beg your pardon, my father. |
| 00:23:28 |
I beg your pardon, my daughter. |
| 00:23:29 |
I am the very humble |
| 00:23:32 |
...but, with your leave, |
| 00:23:33 |
I am your very humble servant, but |
| 00:23:37 |
This evening? |
| 00:23:38 |
It cannot be done, father. |
| 00:23:39 |
It will be done, daughter. |
| 00:23:40 |
No. |
| 00:23:41 |
No, I tell you. |
| 00:23:43 |
You will never force |
| 00:23:44 |
I will force you to it. |
| 00:23:47 |
I had rather kill myself |
| 00:23:49 |
You will not kill yourself, |
| 00:23:51 |
Did ever any one hear a daughter |
| 00:23:54 |
But did ever anyone see a father marry |
| 00:23:56 |
It is a match against which |
| 00:24:00 |
And I know that it will be approved |
| 00:24:04 |
There is Valère coming. |
| 00:24:08 |
Shall we make him |
| 00:24:11 |
Willingly. |
| 00:24:13 |
You will abide by what he says? |
| 00:24:14 |
Yes, whatever he thinks right, I will do. |
| 00:24:16 |
Agreed. |
| 00:24:19 |
Come here, Valère. |
| 00:24:22 |
We have chosen you to decide who is |
| 00:24:26 |
It is certainly you, sir. |
| 00:24:28 |
But have you any idea of |
| 00:24:29 |
No, but you could not be in the |
| 00:24:32 |
I want to give her to-night, for a husband, |
| 00:24:35 |
...and the hussy tells me to my face |
| 00:24:38 |
What do you say to that? |
| 00:24:39 |
What I say to it? |
| 00:24:42 |
I say that I am of your opinion, |
| 00:24:45 |
...yet, perhaps, she is not |
| 00:24:48 |
How so? Mr. Anselme is |
| 00:24:51 |
He is a nobleman of simple |
| 00:24:55 |
He has no children left |
| 00:24:58 |
Could she meet with anything |
| 00:25:00 |
It is true. |
| 00:25:02 |
But she might say that |
| 00:25:05 |
...and that she ought to have |
| 00:25:10 |
It is an opportunity I must not |
| 00:25:12 |
I find an advantage here |
| 00:25:15 |
...and he agrees to |
| 00:25:18 |
Without dowry? |
| 00:25:19 |
Yes. |
| 00:25:23 |
Ah! I have nothing more to say. |
| 00:25:25 |
A more convincing reason could |
| 00:25:29 |
It is a considerable saving to me. |
| 00:25:30 |
Undoubtedly, this admits of no contradiction. |
| 00:25:33 |
It is true that she might represent to |
| 00:25:38 |
...that the happiness or misery of |
| 00:25:40 |
...and that an engagement which |
| 00:25:43 |
...ought not to be entered into |
| 00:25:45 |
Without dowry! |
| 00:25:46 |
You are right. |
| 00:25:48 |
That must of course decide everything. |
| 00:25:49 |
There are people who might tell you that |
| 00:25:52 |
...are no doubt to be considered... |
| 00:25:54 |
...and that this great disparity |
| 00:25:57 |
...might be the cause of many an unpleasant |
| 00:25:59 |
Without dowry! |
| 00:26:01 |
It must be granted that |
| 00:26:04 |
Who in the world |
| 00:26:06 |
I do not mean to say but |
| 00:26:07 |
...who would set a much higher value |
| 00:26:10 |
...than on the money they may have |
| 00:26:13 |
...and who would try to see in a marriage |
| 00:26:17 |
...which is a sure pledge of honour, |
| 00:26:21 |
Without dowry! |
| 00:26:23 |
That is true. Nothing more |
| 00:26:26 |
How can anyone resist |
| 00:26:30 |
I fancy I hear a |
| 00:26:33 |
Is anyone after my money? |
| 00:26:40 |
Surely, Valère, you are not in earnest |
| 00:26:43 |
I do it that I may not vex him, |
| 00:26:46 |
To resist him boldly would |
| 00:26:49 |
There are certain people who are only |
| 00:26:52 |
...temperaments averse from all |
| 00:26:56 |
...who always kick when we would lead |
| 00:26:59 |
...and who can only be led by a way opposed |
| 00:27:01 |
Pretend to comply with his wishes. You |
| 00:27:04 |
But this marriage, Valère? |
| 00:27:06 |
We will find some pretext |
| 00:27:07 |
But what pretext can we find if |
| 00:27:09 |
You must feign some |
| 00:27:12 |
But he will soon discover the truth |
| 00:27:15 |
What do doctors know? |
| 00:27:17 |
You may complain of anything, the doctor will |
| 00:27:22 |
Flight is the last resource we |
| 00:27:26 |
If your love, dear |
| 00:27:37 |
Yes, a daughter is |
| 00:27:39 |
She has no right to inquire what |
| 00:27:41 |
...and when the most important question, |
| 00:27:43 |
...she should accept |
| 00:27:46 |
That was beautifully said. |
| 00:27:49 |
I beg your pardon, sir, if I carry it too far, |
| 00:27:52 |
I am delighted, and I wish you to |
| 00:27:56 |
I give him all the authority over |
| 00:27:59 |
...and I will have you do |
| 00:28:02 |
After that, resist all my |
| 00:28:04 |
I will follow her, sir, if you will allow me, |
| 00:28:07 |
Yes, do so. You will oblige me greatly. |
| 00:28:08 |
She ought to be kept |
| 00:28:10 |
Do not be afraid, I believe |
| 00:28:12 |
Do so. I am going to take a stroll in |
| 00:28:17 |
Money is more precious than |
| 00:28:20 |
...and you should thank heaven that |
| 00:28:24 |
When a man offers to marry |
| 00:28:27 |
...we ought to look no farther. |
| 00:28:29 |
Everything is comprised in that, |
| 00:28:31 |
...compensates for want of beauty, |
| 00:28:36 |
Ah, the honest fellow! |
| 00:28:39 |
He speaks like an oracle. |
| 00:28:40 |
Happy is he who |
| 00:28:56 |
How now, you rascal! |
| 00:28:59 |
Did I not give |
| 00:29:00 |
Yes, sir, and I came here |
| 00:29:03 |
...but your father, |
| 00:29:06 |
...drove me into |
| 00:29:08 |
How is our affair progressing? |
| 00:29:10 |
Things are worse than ever for us... |
| 00:29:11 |
...and since I left you, I have discovered |
| 00:29:15 |
Your father in love? |
| 00:29:16 |
Yes, and I found it difficult to hide |
| 00:29:21 |
He meddling with love! What the |
| 00:29:24 |
Is love made for people of |
| 00:29:26 |
It is to punish me for my sins that |
| 00:29:29 |
But why do you hide your love from him? |
| 00:29:31 |
That he may not suspect anything, and to |
| 00:29:37 |
What answer did you receive? |
| 00:29:39 |
Sir, those who borrow |
| 00:29:41 |
Then the affair won't come off? |
| 00:29:42 |
Mr. Simon, the broker who |
| 00:29:45 |
...is an active fellow, and says he has |
| 00:29:48 |
He assures me that your looks |
| 00:29:52 |
Shall I have the fifteen thousand |
| 00:29:53 |
Yes, but under certain trifling conditions, |
| 00:30:08 |
Of the fifteen thousand francs... |
| 00:30:10 |
...the lender will only be able to |
| 00:30:13 |
Instead of the remaining |
| 00:30:15 |
...the borrower will have to take the clothing, |
| 00:30:20 |
...and which the said lender has put in all |
| 00:30:24 |
What is the meaning of all that? |
| 00:30:25 |
I'll go through the catalogue. |
| 00:30:28 |
First: |
| 00:30:29 |
A fourpost bedstead, with |
| 00:30:33 |
...very elegantly trimmed |
| 00:30:39 |
...and six chairs and a |
| 00:30:43 |
...the whole in very good condition, |
| 00:30:50 |
What does he want me to do with all this? |
| 00:30:53 |
Plus: |
| 00:30:54 |
Tapestry hangings representing |
| 00:31:02 |
Plus: |
| 00:31:03 |
A large walnut table with |
| 00:31:07 |
...which draws out at both ends, and is |
| 00:31:13 |
I'm furious. |
| 00:31:15 |
Plus: |
| 00:31:16 |
A Bologna lute with all its strings, |
| 00:31:23 |
Plus: |
| 00:31:24 |
A lizard's skin, three feet and a half in |
| 00:31:28 |
...a pleasing curiosity to hang on the ceiling. |
| 00:31:33 |
The whole of the above-mentioned articles |
| 00:31:39 |
...and are reduced to the value of a thousand |
| 00:31:43 |
Let the plague choke him with his |
| 00:31:51 |
Is he not satisfied with the interest that he must |
| 00:31:57 |
I shan't get two hundred |
| 00:32:02 |
Yet I must bring myself |
| 00:32:05 |
...for he is in a position to force |
| 00:32:07 |
...and he has me, the villain, |
| 00:32:11 |
I see you, sir on the high-road followed |
| 00:32:16 |
...taking money in advance, |
| 00:32:19 |
...and cutting your corn |
| 00:32:20 |
What would you have me do? |
| 00:32:22 |
It is to this that young men are reduced |
| 00:32:25 |
...and people are astonished after that, |
| 00:33:01 |
Yes, sir, it is a young man |
| 00:33:04 |
His affairs force him to find some at any cost, |
| 00:33:09 |
But are you sure, Mr. Simon, that |
| 00:33:12 |
And do you know the name, the property, |
| 00:33:16 |
No, I cannot tell you |
| 00:33:19 |
...as it was by mere chance that |
| 00:33:22 |
But he will tell you |
| 00:33:25 |
And his servant has assured me that you |
| 00:33:30 |
All I can tell you... |
| 00:33:33 |
...is that his family is said to be very wealthy, |
| 00:33:38 |
...and that he will pledge you his word... |
| 00:33:42 |
...that his father will die before |
| 00:33:46 |
That is something. |
| 00:33:48 |
Charity, Mr. Simon, demands of us to gratify |
| 00:33:53 |
Evidently. |
| 00:34:24 |
What does this mean? |
| 00:34:26 |
...with your father. |
| 00:34:27 |
What? |
| 00:34:33 |
What? |
| 00:34:36 |
Ah, you are in good time! |
| 00:34:38 |
This is the gentleman who wants |
| 00:34:42 |
What, miscreant? Is it you who |
| 00:34:46 |
My father, is it you who stoop |
| 00:34:49 |
It is you who are ruining yourself by |
| 00:34:52 |
So it is you who seek to enrich |
| 00:34:54 |
And you dare, after that, |
| 00:34:57 |
And you dare, after that, |
| 00:34:59 |
Are you not ashamed, tell me, |
| 00:35:01 |
...to rush headlong into frightful expenses? |
| 00:35:04 |
...and disgracefully to dissipate the |
| 00:35:08 |
Are you not ashamed of dishonouring |
| 00:35:12 |
Of sacrificing honour to the insatiable |
| 00:35:17 |
And of outdoing the most |
| 00:35:18 |
...that have ever been invented |
| 00:35:23 |
Get out of my sight, you reprobate! |
| 00:35:26 |
Who is the more criminal in your opinion? |
| 00:35:27 |
He who buys the money |
| 00:35:29 |
...or he who obtains, by unfair means, |
| 00:35:31 |
Begone, I say, and do not |
| 00:35:45 |
I am not very much |
| 00:35:47 |
It will be a lesson to me to keep |
| 00:36:08 |
Sir. |
| 00:36:20 |
Wait a moment, I will come back |
| 00:37:00 |
Is it you, my poor La Flèche? |
| 00:37:02 |
How is it we meet here? |
| 00:37:05 |
It is you, Frosine, and what |
| 00:37:07 |
What I do everywhere else. |
| 00:37:09 |
Profit as much as I possibly can by the |
| 00:37:13 |
Have you, then, any business with |
| 00:37:15 |
Yes. I am transacting for him a matter |
| 00:37:20 |
From him? You will be 'cute |
| 00:37:23 |
...and I warn you that ready money |
| 00:37:26 |
But there are certain services which |
| 00:37:30 |
Your humble servant, but as yet |
| 00:37:34 |
Harpagon is the human being |
| 00:37:36 |
...the least humane... |
| 00:37:38 |
...the mortal of all mortals |
| 00:37:45 |
There is nothing more dry, more barren, |
| 00:37:48 |
...and "give" is a word for which |
| 00:37:51 |
...that he never says "I give", |
| 00:37:55 |
My God, but I know |
| 00:38:00 |
I have a secret of touching |
| 00:38:03 |
...by flattering their hearts... |
| 00:38:07 |
...and of finding out their |
| 00:38:11 |
All useless here. |
| 00:38:13 |
I defy you to soften, as far |
| 00:38:15 |
...the man we are speaking of. |
| 00:38:16 |
He loves money better than |
| 00:38:21 |
...and the sight of anyone making demands |
| 00:38:24 |
It is like striking him |
| 00:38:26 |
It is piercing him to the heart, |
| 00:38:29 |
But he is coming. I will go. |
| 00:38:33 |
Well, what is it, Frosine? |
| 00:38:34 |
My God! |
| 00:38:36 |
How well you look! |
| 00:38:40 |
You are the very picture of health. |
| 00:38:44 |
Who, I? |
| 00:38:45 |
Never have I seen you looking |
| 00:38:49 |
Are you in earnest? |
| 00:38:51 |
What? |
| 00:38:54 |
You have never been |
| 00:39:01 |
And I know many a man of twenty-five |
| 00:39:05 |
And yet, Frosine, I have |
| 00:39:08 |
Threescore! Well, and what then? |
| 00:39:12 |
It's the very flower of manhood... |
| 00:39:15 |
...the threshold of the |
| 00:39:18 |
True, but twenty years less |
| 00:39:24 |
Nonsense. |
| 00:39:27 |
You've no need of that... |
| 00:39:30 |
...and you are of a build to last |
| 00:39:33 |
Do you really think so? |
| 00:39:35 |
Decidedly. |
| 00:39:42 |
Show me your hand. |
| 00:39:48 |
No, I can't... |
| 00:39:51 |
My God, what a line of life |
| 00:39:55 |
Where? |
| 00:39:56 |
Don't you see how far this line goes? |
| 00:39:58 |
Well, and what does it mean? |
| 00:40:00 |
Look, look, look... |
| 00:40:22 |
I said a hundred years... |
| 00:40:25 |
...but no, it is one hundred and |
| 00:40:27 |
One hundred and twenty, |
| 00:40:29 |
I tell you they will |
| 00:40:31 |
...and you will bury your children |
| 00:40:35 |
So much the better. |
| 00:41:08 |
And what news of our affair? |
| 00:41:14 |
Is there any need to ask? |
| 00:41:16 |
Did ever anyone see me begin anything |
| 00:41:19 |
I have, especially for matchmaking, |
| 00:41:22 |
I could make the Grand Turk |
| 00:41:29 |
But we had, to be sure, no such difficult |
| 00:41:33 |
As I know the ladies very well... |
| 00:41:36 |
...I told them |
| 00:41:40 |
And I acquainted the mother with your |
| 00:41:43 |
...since you saw her pass in the street and |
| 00:41:46 |
What did she answer? |
| 00:41:47 |
She received your proposal |
| 00:41:49 |
And when I told her you wished that her daughter |
| 00:41:54 |
...which is to be signed for |
| 00:41:56 |
...she assented at once, and entrusted |
| 00:42:00 |
But, Frosine, have you spoken to the mother about |
| 00:42:06 |
Did you make her understand that |
| 00:42:09 |
...she ought to do her utmost |
| 00:42:13 |
One does not marry a girl without her |
| 00:42:17 |
What? |
| 00:42:19 |
She is a girl who will bring you a clear |
| 00:42:24 |
Twelve thousand francs a year? |
| 00:42:27 |
Yes. |
| 00:42:30 |
To begin with... |
| 00:42:31 |
...she has been nursed and brought up |
| 00:42:34 |
She is a girl accustomed to live upon |
| 00:42:37 |
...and who consequently will require |
| 00:42:42 |
...nor all those delicacies |
| 00:42:46 |
This is no small matter, and may well |
| 00:42:51 |
Besides this... |
| 00:42:53 |
...she only cares |
| 00:42:55 |
...she will have none of those splendid, |
| 00:43:00 |
...and this is worth more than |
| 00:43:02 |
Lastly... |
| 00:43:04 |
...she has the deepest |
| 00:43:06 |
...and this is not very common |
| 00:43:11 |
Let us reckon only |
| 00:43:13 |
Five thousand francs a year at play... |
| 00:43:15 |
...and four thousand in clothes |
| 00:43:19 |
...and three thousand francs which |
| 00:43:21 |
...does it not make your |
| 00:43:27 |
That's not bad, but that calculation |
| 00:43:32 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:43:33 |
Is it nothing real to bring you in |
| 00:43:37 |
...to inherit a great love |
| 00:43:41 |
...and the acquired property of a |
| 00:43:44 |
It is a farce to pretend to make up a dowry |
| 00:43:50 |
I could not give a receipt |
| 00:43:53 |
...and I must decidedly get something. |
| 00:43:57 |
My God. |
| 00:44:02 |
You will get enough... |
| 00:44:05 |
...and they have spoken to me of a |
| 00:44:09 |
...where they have some property, |
| 00:44:13 |
We shall have to see to that. |
| 00:44:15 |
Frosine... |
| 00:44:16 |
...there is one more |
| 00:44:20 |
The girl is young, you know... |
| 00:44:22 |
...and young people generally like |
| 00:44:26 |
I am afraid that a man of my age |
| 00:44:29 |
...and that this may occasion in my |
| 00:44:33 |
...that would in nowise be pleasant to me. |
| 00:44:34 |
Oh, how badly you judge her. |
| 00:44:36 |
This is one more peculiarity of |
| 00:44:39 |
She has the greatest detestation |
| 00:44:41 |
...and only likes old people. |
| 00:44:44 |
Does she? |
| 00:44:46 |
Yes, she does. |
| 00:44:47 |
I should like you to hear |
| 00:44:50 |
She cannot bear at all |
| 00:44:53 |
...and nothing delights her more |
| 00:44:57 |
...with a venerable beard. |
| 00:45:00 |
The oldest are to |
| 00:45:02 |
...and I warn you beforehand not to |
| 00:45:05 |
She wishes for one sixty |
| 00:45:08 |
It is not more than six months ago |
| 00:45:10 |
...she suddenly broke off the match... |
| 00:45:12 |
...on learning that her lover was |
| 00:45:15 |
...and did not put on |
| 00:45:18 |
Only for that? |
| 00:45:20 |
Yes, she says there is no pleasure |
| 00:45:22 |
...and most of all... |
| 00:45:23 |
...she has a decided affection |
| 00:45:25 |
Well, this is quite new to me. |
| 00:45:29 |
No one can imagine how |
| 00:45:33 |
She has in her room |
| 00:45:36 |
...and what do you imagine they are? |
| 00:45:38 |
An Adonis, a Paris, an Apollo? |
| 00:45:42 |
No, fine |
| 00:45:46 |
...of King Priam... |
| 00:45:48 |
...of old Nestor... |
| 00:45:50 |
...and of good father |
| 00:45:54 |
That's admirable. |
| 00:45:57 |
Indeed had I been a woman, I should |
| 00:46:03 |
I should think not. Fine trumpery |
| 00:46:05 |
Fine jackanapes for a woman to hanker after. |
| 00:46:07 |
I don't understand how it |
| 00:46:12 |
They must be downright idiots. |
| 00:46:14 |
Can any one be in his senses who |
| 00:46:16 |
Can those coxcombs be men, and can |
| 00:46:19 |
Exactly what I say every day! |
| 00:46:22 |
...their three little bits of a beard |
| 00:46:24 |
...their tow wigs, their flowing |
| 00:46:33 |
Yes, they are famous guys |
| 00:46:38 |
In you we see |
| 00:46:41 |
There is enough to satisfy the eye. |
| 00:46:43 |
It is thus that one should be made |
| 00:46:48 |
Then you think I am pretty well? |
| 00:46:50 |
What? |
| 00:46:53 |
You are charming... |
| 00:46:56 |
...and your face would |
| 00:47:01 |
Turn round a little, if you please. |
| 00:47:07 |
You could not find anything |
| 00:47:11 |
Let me see you walk. |
| 00:47:19 |
You have a well-shaped body... |
| 00:47:23 |
...free and easy, as it should be... |
| 00:47:28 |
...and one which |
| 00:47:31 |
I have nothing the matter to speak of, |
| 00:47:32 |
It is only my cough, which |
| 00:47:38 |
That is nothing. |
| 00:47:39 |
And coughing becomes |
| 00:47:50 |
I have, sir, a small request |
| 00:47:52 |
I am in danger of losing a lawsuit |
| 00:48:00 |
You cannot imagine how happy |
| 00:48:04 |
Oh! how sure you |
| 00:48:09 |
And how sure that antique ruff of yours |
| 00:48:17 |
Really, sir, this lawsuit is of the utmost |
| 00:48:20 |
If I lose it, I am |
| 00:48:22 |
Sir, sir, please. |
| 00:48:24 |
No, I can't. |
| 00:48:26 |
I would not importune you so if I |
| 00:48:31 |
Do not refuse me the service, sir. |
| 00:48:34 |
I beg of you. You can hardly |
| 00:48:41 |
She will like you! |
| 00:48:44 |
Sir, sir... |
| 00:48:56 |
May the fever seize you, you stingy cur, |
| 00:49:02 |
The miser has held out |
| 00:49:05 |
But I must not drop the negotiation... |
| 00:49:08 |
...for I have the other side, and there, |
| 00:49:14 |
Here, come here, all of you. |
| 00:49:15 |
I must give you orders |
| 00:49:18 |
Come nearer, Dame Claude. |
| 00:49:22 |
Let us begin with you. |
| 00:49:22 |
You are ready armed, I see. |
| 00:49:25 |
To you I commit the care of |
| 00:49:27 |
...but be very careful not to rub the furniture |
| 00:49:31 |
Besides this... |
| 00:49:38 |
...I put the bottles |
| 00:49:42 |
...and if any one of them is missing, or |
| 00:49:45 |
...you will be responsible for it, |
| 00:49:49 |
Go. |
| 00:49:55 |
To you, Brindavoine, and |
| 00:49:57 |
...belongs the duty of |
| 00:49:59 |
...and of giving to drink... |
| 00:50:00 |
...but only when |
| 00:50:03 |
...and not according to the custom... |
| 00:50:04 |
...of certain impertinent |
| 00:50:09 |
Wait until you have been asked |
| 00:50:12 |
...and remember always |
| 00:50:15 |
Wine without water |
| 00:50:19 |
Be very careful not to |
| 00:50:22 |
You know that one of the fronts of my |
| 00:50:28 |
And I, sir, that my breeches |
| 00:50:30 |
...and that, |
| 00:50:31 |
Peace! |
| 00:50:34 |
Turn carefully... |
| 00:50:35 |
...towards the wall, |
| 00:50:42 |
And you, always hold your |
| 00:50:49 |
As for you, my daughter, you will look |
| 00:50:52 |
...and see that nothing is wasted. This |
| 00:50:55 |
Meanwhile get ready to... |
| 00:50:56 |
...welcome my lady-love, who is coming |
| 00:50:59 |
...and will take you off |
| 00:51:01 |
Do you understand what I say? |
| 00:51:02 |
Yes, father. |
| 00:51:03 |
And you, my son to whom I have the |
| 00:51:07 |
...don't receive her coldly. |
| 00:51:10 |
Receive her coldly! |
| 00:51:14 |
We know pretty well the ways of |
| 00:51:17 |
...and the looks they give to |
| 00:51:20 |
But if you wish me to forget |
| 00:51:23 |
...I advise you, above all |
| 00:51:26 |
...and to give her the |
| 00:51:30 |
I cannot promise you that I am very |
| 00:51:34 |
I would lie if I said otherwise. |
| 00:51:36 |
But as to giving her a kind welcome... |
| 00:51:39 |
...I promise to obey you |
| 00:51:42 |
Be careful you do, at least. |
| 00:51:44 |
You will see that you have |
| 00:51:47 |
You will do wisely. |
| 00:51:54 |
Good, everybody, let's go... |
| 00:51:57 |
Valère, help me with this. |
| 00:52:00 |
Master Jacques, I kept you for the last. |
| 00:52:04 |
Is it to your coachman or to your |
| 00:52:08 |
For I am both. |
| 00:52:10 |
To both. |
| 00:52:12 |
But to which of the two first? |
| 00:52:14 |
To the cook. |
| 00:52:15 |
Then wait a minute, if you please. |
| 00:52:21 |
What the deuce is the meaning |
| 00:52:29 |
Now I am at your service. |
| 00:52:31 |
I have engaged myself, Master Jacques, |
| 00:52:34 |
Wonderful! |
| 00:52:36 |
Tell me, can you give us a good supper? |
| 00:52:38 |
Yes, if you give me money. |
| 00:52:40 |
The deuce! Always money! |
| 00:52:42 |
I think they have nothing else to say |
| 00:52:44 |
Always that same word in their mouth. |
| 00:52:47 |
They always speak of money! |
| 00:52:50 |
Never did I hear |
| 00:52:53 |
Would you call it |
| 00:52:54 |
...to provide good cheer |
| 00:52:56 |
Is it not the |
| 00:52:58 |
The most stupid could do as much. |
| 00:52:59 |
But a clever man should talk of |
| 00:53:05 |
A good supper with little money? |
| 00:53:08 |
Yes. |
| 00:53:09 |
Indeed, Mr. Steward, you will oblige me |
| 00:53:12 |
...and also by filling my place as cook... |
| 00:53:14 |
...for you keep on meddling here, |
| 00:53:19 |
Hold your tongue. What shall we want? |
| 00:53:22 |
Ask that of Mr. Steward, who will give |
| 00:53:26 |
I want you to answer me. |
| 00:53:28 |
How many will there be at your table? |
| 00:53:32 |
How many will there be at your table? |
| 00:53:34 |
Eight or ten, but you must |
| 00:53:37 |
When there is enough for eight, |
| 00:53:39 |
That is evident. |
| 00:53:41 |
Very well then, you must have |
| 00:53:43 |
...and five side dishes. |
| 00:53:45 |
Soups. |
| 00:53:45 |
Entrées. |
| 00:53:46 |
What, do you mean |
| 00:53:50 |
Roast... |
| 00:53:51 |
Traitor! |
| 00:53:54 |
You are eating up all my substance. |
| 00:53:56 |
Entremêts... |
| 00:53:57 |
Do you mean to kill everybody? |
| 00:53:59 |
And has your master invited people |
| 00:54:04 |
Go and read a little the precepts of |
| 00:54:07 |
...if there is anything so hurtful |
| 00:54:10 |
He is perfectly right. |
| 00:54:11 |
Know, Master Jacques, |
| 00:54:14 |
...that a table overloaded with |
| 00:54:17 |
...that, to be the true |
| 00:54:19 |
...frugality should reign |
| 00:54:22 |
...and that according to the saying |
| 00:54:24 |
..."We must eat to live, |
| 00:54:37 |
How well the man speaks! |
| 00:54:40 |
Come near, let me embrace you for |
| 00:54:45 |
The finest sentence that I have |
| 00:54:49 |
..."We must live to eat, and not eat..." |
| 00:54:52 |
No, that isn't it. |
| 00:54:54 |
That we must eat to live, |
| 00:54:55 |
Do you hear that? |
| 00:54:59 |
Who is the great man who said that? |
| 00:55:01 |
I do not exactly recollect |
| 00:55:03 |
Remember to write down |
| 00:55:04 |
I will have them engraved |
| 00:55:06 |
...over the mantel-piece |
| 00:55:08 |
I will not fail. |
| 00:55:10 |
As for your supper, you |
| 00:55:11 |
Do so. |
| 00:55:14 |
So much the better. |
| 00:55:15 |
We must have some of those things of |
| 00:55:21 |
Some good fat beans... |
| 00:55:24 |
...and a pâté well stuffed |
| 00:55:28 |
Something that swells up. |
| 00:55:33 |
Trust to me. |
| 00:55:36 |
Now, Master Jacques, you |
| 00:55:42 |
Wait a moment. |
| 00:55:56 |
You say? |
| 00:55:58 |
That you must clean my carriage, and have |
| 00:56:02 |
Your horses, sir? |
| 00:56:05 |
Your horses, let's see. |
| 00:56:09 |
They are not at all in a |
| 00:56:11 |
I won't tell you that they are laid up, for the |
| 00:56:15 |
...and it would not be |
| 00:56:17 |
But you make them keep such rigid fasts that |
| 00:56:25 |
...and mere shadows of horses. |
| 00:56:26 |
They have nothing to do. |
| 00:56:28 |
And because they have nothing to do, |
| 00:56:29 |
It would be much better for them to |
| 00:56:35 |
It breaks my heart to |
| 00:56:40 |
...for I love my horses... |
| 00:56:43 |
...and when I see them suffer, |
| 00:56:47 |
Every day I take the bread |
| 00:56:49 |
...and it is being too hard-hearted to |
| 00:56:54 |
They only must go to the market. |
| 00:56:56 |
No, sir. I haven't the heart to drive them. |
| 00:56:57 |
It would go against my conscience to use |
| 00:57:01 |
How can they drag a carriage if they have |
| 00:57:06 |
Sir. |
| 00:57:08 |
I will ask our neighbour, Picard, |
| 00:57:11 |
...particularly as we shall want his |
| 00:57:12 |
Be it so. I had much rather they should |
| 00:57:15 |
Master Jacques is mightily considerate. |
| 00:57:17 |
Mr. Steward is mightily indispensable. |
| 00:57:19 |
Peace. |
| 00:57:20 |
No, sir. |
| 00:57:21 |
No, no. |
| 00:57:24 |
And I can see that, whatever |
| 00:57:27 |
...his continual watching after the bread, |
| 00:57:31 |
...is done but to curry favour |
| 00:57:35 |
I am indignant. |
| 00:57:38 |
And I am sorry to hear every day |
| 00:57:41 |
...for, after all, I have a certain |
| 00:57:46 |
...and, except my horses, you are |
| 00:57:57 |
And I would know from you, Master Jacques, |
| 00:58:01 |
Certainly, sir, if I were sure you |
| 00:58:06 |
No, no, never fear. |
| 00:58:10 |
Excuse me, but I am sure |
| 00:58:13 |
No, on the contrary, you will oblige me. |
| 00:58:15 |
I should be glad to know |
| 00:58:32 |
Since you wish it, sir... |
| 00:58:35 |
...I will tell you frankly that you are the |
| 00:58:40 |
...that they taunt us everywhere by a |
| 00:58:43 |
...and that nothing delights people |
| 00:58:49 |
...and to tell stories without |
| 00:58:53 |
One says that you have special |
| 00:58:58 |
...where you double the |
| 00:59:01 |
...so that you may profit by the |
| 00:59:04 |
Another, that you always have a ready-made |
| 00:59:08 |
...or when they leave you... |
| 00:59:10 |
...so that you may give them nothing. |
| 00:59:13 |
One tells a story how not long since |
| 00:59:19 |
...because it had eaten up |
| 00:59:24 |
Another says that one night you |
| 00:59:30 |
...and that your coachman, that |
| 00:59:33 |
...gave you, in the dark, a good sound |
| 00:59:38 |
What is the use of going on? |
| 00:59:43 |
We can go nowhere but we are |
| 00:59:50 |
You are the butt and jest and |
| 00:59:53 |
...and never does anyone mention |
| 00:59:57 |
...stingy, mean... |
| 00:59:59 |
...niggardly fellow and usurer. |
| 01:00:12 |
You are a fool, a rascal, a scoundrel, |
| 01:00:21 |
Did not I know how it would be? |
| 01:00:23 |
I told you I should make you |
| 01:00:27 |
Learn how to speak. |
| 01:00:34 |
Well, Master Jacques, your |
| 01:00:38 |
Mr. Upstart, you who assume the man |
| 01:00:42 |
Laugh at your own cudgelling |
| 01:00:46 |
Master Jacques, don't get into |
| 01:00:51 |
I will put on a bold face, and if he |
| 01:00:56 |
Do you know, Mr. Grinner... |
| 01:00:59 |
...that I am not laughing? |
| 01:01:01 |
And that if you provoke me, I shall |
| 01:01:05 |
Gently. |
| 01:01:06 |
How gently? And if it does not |
| 01:01:09 |
Come. |
| 01:01:10 |
You are an impudent rascal. |
| 01:01:11 |
Master Jacques... |
| 01:01:12 |
None of your Master Jacques here! |
| 01:01:15 |
If I take up a stick, I shall |
| 01:01:18 |
What do you mean by a stick? |
| 01:01:20 |
No, I don't say anything about that. |
| 01:01:22 |
Do you know, Mr. Conceit, that I am a man |
| 01:01:25 |
I have no doubt of it. |
| 01:01:27 |
That you are nothing but |
| 01:01:29 |
I know it very well. |
| 01:01:30 |
And that you don't know me yet? |
| 01:01:32 |
I beg your pardon. |
| 01:01:33 |
You will beat me, you say? |
| 01:01:35 |
I only spoke in jest. |
| 01:01:37 |
I don't like your jesting. |
| 01:01:45 |
I spoke in jest. |
| 01:01:51 |
You are but a sorry hand at jesting. |
| 01:01:57 |
Plague take all sincerity. |
| 01:02:00 |
I will cease to tell the truth. |
| 01:02:02 |
It is all very well for |
| 01:02:05 |
But as for that Mr. Steward, |
| 01:02:30 |
Do you know if your |
| 01:02:33 |
Yes, he is indeed. |
| 01:02:35 |
Tell him, please, that we are here. |
| 01:03:15 |
Frosine, how strange I feel. |
| 01:03:18 |
And how I dread this interview. |
| 01:03:21 |
Why should you? |
| 01:03:24 |
Alas, can you ask me? |
| 01:03:26 |
Can you not understand the alarms of seeing the |
| 01:03:31 |
I see very well that Harpagon is |
| 01:03:37 |
...and I can judge that the young man |
| 01:03:43 |
Frosine, it is a thing I |
| 01:03:46 |
The visits he has paid at our house have |
| 01:03:51 |
But do you know who he is? |
| 01:03:53 |
No, I do not. |
| 01:03:55 |
All I know is that |
| 01:03:58 |
That if things were left |
| 01:04:00 |
...I would much rather marry |
| 01:04:03 |
...and that he adds to the dread that I have |
| 01:04:08 |
I fully acknowledge that the senses |
| 01:04:12 |
...and that there are certain inconveniences |
| 01:04:16 |
...but all that won't last... |
| 01:04:18 |
...and his death will soon put you in a |
| 01:04:23 |
...who will make amends for all. |
| 01:04:24 |
What a strange state of things that we |
| 01:04:31 |
Yet death will not fall in |
| 01:04:33 |
You are joking. |
| 01:04:36 |
You marry him with the understanding |
| 01:04:38 |
It must be one of the articles |
| 01:04:41 |
It would be very wrong in him not to |
| 01:05:08 |
Do not be offended, fair one, if |
| 01:05:12 |
I know that your beauty |
| 01:05:14 |
...to be seen with the naked eye. |
| 01:05:18 |
But it is with glasses that |
| 01:05:22 |
...and I maintain and uphold |
| 01:05:25 |
The most beautiful and |
| 01:05:30 |
Here he is, in person. |
| 01:05:31 |
O, Frosine, what a sight. |
| 01:05:39 |
She does not answer and |
| 01:05:41 |
...shows no joy at the sight of me. |
| 01:05:45 |
It is because she is |
| 01:05:49 |
...and young girls are always afraid |
| 01:05:54 |
You are right. |
| 01:06:01 |
My pretty darling, there is my daughter |
| 01:06:06 |
I am very late in acquitting |
| 01:06:09 |
You have done what I |
| 01:06:12 |
You see what a great girl she is, |
| 01:06:16 |
Oh, what an unpleasant man! |
| 01:06:17 |
What does my fair one say? |
| 01:06:18 |
That she thinks you perfect. |
| 01:06:20 |
You do me too much honour, |
| 01:06:25 |
What a dreadful creature! |
| 01:06:26 |
I really feel too grateful to |
| 01:06:31 |
I can bear it no longer. |
| 01:06:34 |
Here is my son, who also comes |
| 01:06:39 |
Frosine, he is the very one |
| 01:06:42 |
Well, that is extraordinary. |
| 01:06:45 |
You are surprised to see that |
| 01:06:46 |
...but I shall soon get |
| 01:06:50 |
Madam, to tell you the truth, I little |
| 01:06:53 |
...and my father surprised me when |
| 01:06:57 |
I can say the same thing. |
| 01:06:59 |
It is an unexpected meeting... |
| 01:07:01 |
...and I certainly was far from |
| 01:07:04 |
Madam, my father cannot |
| 01:07:06 |
...and it is a great joy to me to |
| 01:07:09 |
But I cannot say that I should rejoice if it were |
| 01:07:14 |
I must confess that |
| 01:07:16 |
...difficult to pay |
| 01:07:17 |
...and it is a title that I |
| 01:07:20 |
To some this speech |
| 01:07:22 |
...but I feel that |
| 01:07:25 |
This marriage, Madam, is |
| 01:07:29 |
You are not ignorant, now |
| 01:07:32 |
...how opposed it |
| 01:07:33 |
...and with my father's permission |
| 01:07:36 |
...that, if things depended on me, |
| 01:07:40 |
What an impertinent speech to make |
| 01:07:44 |
And I must tell you that things |
| 01:07:47 |
...and that, if you have any repugnance |
| 01:07:50 |
...I shall have no less in |
| 01:07:52 |
Do not believe that it is of my own will |
| 01:07:56 |
I should be deeply grieved to |
| 01:07:59 |
...and unless I am forced to it |
| 01:08:00 |
...I will never consent to a marriage |
| 01:08:03 |
She is right. A foolish speech |
| 01:08:07 |
I beg your pardon, my love, |
| 01:08:09 |
He is a silly young fellow, who has not |
| 01:08:12 |
I assure you that he has |
| 01:08:16 |
I am thankful that he |
| 01:08:20 |
I care greatly for such |
| 01:08:22 |
If he had spoken differently, |
| 01:08:25 |
It is very kind of you |
| 01:08:27 |
Time will make him wiser, and you |
| 01:08:31 |
No, father... |
| 01:08:32 |
...they will never change... |
| 01:08:34 |
...and I beg of you, |
| 01:08:36 |
Did ever anybody see such folly? |
| 01:08:39 |
Would you have me false |
| 01:08:41 |
Again! Change your manners, |
| 01:08:45 |
Very well, since you wish |
| 01:08:48 |
Allow me, Madam, to take for |
| 01:08:53 |
...and forgive me if I tell you I never saw |
| 01:08:57 |
...that I can understand no happiness |
| 01:09:00 |
...and that to be your |
| 01:09:02 |
...a felicity, I should prefer to |
| 01:09:06 |
Yes, Madame... |
| 01:09:07 |
...to possess you is to possess |
| 01:09:10 |
...to obtain you is all my ambition. |
| 01:09:12 |
There is nothing I would not do... |
| 01:09:14 |
...for so precious a conquest... |
| 01:09:15 |
...and the most powerful obstacles... |
| 01:09:17 |
Gently, gently, my son, |
| 01:09:21 |
These are complimentary words |
| 01:09:24 |
I have a tongue of my own |
| 01:09:34 |
Bring us some chairs. |
| 01:09:38 |
No, it is better for us to |
| 01:09:41 |
...in order to be back earlier, and |
| 01:09:48 |
Have the carriage ready at once. |
| 01:09:54 |
I hope you will excuse |
| 01:09:56 |
...but I forgot to order refreshments |
| 01:10:00 |
I have thought of it, father. |
| 01:10:02 |
I have ordered to be brought in |
| 01:10:05 |
...sweet citrons, and preserves, |
| 01:10:22 |
Valère, Valère! |
| 01:10:31 |
You are afraid, father, that |
| 01:10:38 |
I hope, Madam, that you will |
| 01:10:41 |
It was by no means necessary. |
| 01:10:45 |
Did you ever see a more brilliant diamond |
| 01:10:53 |
You must see it near. |
| 01:10:55 |
It is a beautiful one. |
| 01:11:04 |
It is very beautiful... |
| 01:11:06 |
...and it possesses great lustre. |
| 01:11:08 |
No, Madam, it is in hands |
| 01:11:10 |
It is a present my father |
| 01:11:13 |
I? |
| 01:11:14 |
Is it not true, father, that you |
| 01:11:17 |
What? |
| 01:11:18 |
He is making me signs that I am |
| 01:11:19 |
I would not... |
| 01:11:20 |
He would not take it back. |
| 01:11:21 |
I am bursting with rage. |
| 01:11:23 |
It would be... |
| 01:11:24 |
Pray... |
| 01:11:26 |
Plague take.... |
| 01:11:27 |
He is perfectly shocked |
| 01:11:29 |
Traitor! |
| 01:11:30 |
You see he is in despair. |
| 01:11:31 |
You villain! |
| 01:11:32 |
Father, I do all I can to persuade |
| 01:11:34 |
Rascal! |
| 01:11:35 |
You are the cause, Madam, |
| 01:11:38 |
Scoundrel! |
| 01:11:39 |
You will make him ill. For goodness' |
| 01:11:42 |
Keep the ring, since |
| 01:11:46 |
I will keep it now, sir, |
| 01:11:49 |
...and I shall take another |
| 01:11:55 |
Sir, there is a gentleman here |
| 01:11:58 |
Tell him that I cannot see him to-day. |
| 01:12:01 |
He says he has some money for you. |
| 01:12:04 |
Pray, excuse me, |
| 01:12:06 |
Monsieur... |
| 01:12:09 |
Oh! he has killed me. |
| 01:12:12 |
What's the matter, father? |
| 01:12:16 |
The traitor... |
| 01:12:17 |
...must have been bribed |
| 01:12:19 |
...to break my neck. |
| 01:12:20 |
There is nothing serious. |
| 01:12:21 |
I beg your pardon, sir, I thought I had |
| 01:12:24 |
What are you here for? |
| 01:12:26 |
Your two horses have |
| 01:12:29 |
Take them quickly to the smith. |
| 01:12:31 |
In the meantime I will do the |
| 01:12:35 |
...and take this lady into the garden, |
| 01:12:37 |
No, not in the garden. |
| 01:12:39 |
Very well, father. |
| 01:12:49 |
Look after all this... |
| 01:12:51 |
...and save as much of it as you can... |
| 01:12:55 |
...so that we may send it back |
| 01:12:58 |
I will. |
| 01:13:09 |
Let us come in here. |
| 01:13:37 |
We can speak openly. |
| 01:13:41 |
Yes, Madam, my brother has told me |
| 01:13:45 |
I assure you that I have the |
| 01:13:48 |
I feel it a great comfort in my trouble to |
| 01:13:52 |
...and I entreat you, Madam, ever |
| 01:13:55 |
...so capable of softening |
| 01:14:02 |
Frosine, dear Frosine, |
| 01:14:06 |
Indeed, I should like to |
| 01:14:09 |
I feel but too ready to help... |
| 01:14:11 |
...when I see young people |
| 01:14:13 |
...in all earnestness and honesty. |
| 01:14:16 |
What can we do in this case? |
| 01:14:18 |
Try and think a little. |
| 01:14:19 |
Advise us. |
| 01:14:21 |
Invent something to undo |
| 01:14:23 |
Rather a difficult piece of business. |
| 01:14:26 |
The most disheartening part of it |
| 01:14:30 |
Yes, so it is. |
| 01:14:31 |
I mean that he will bear malice if |
| 01:14:34 |
...and he will be in no way disposed to |
| 01:14:37 |
It would be well if the refusal could |
| 01:14:41 |
...and you ought to try by |
| 01:14:43 |
...to make him dislike you. |
| 01:14:45 |
You are quite right. |
| 01:14:46 |
Yes, right enough, no doubt. |
| 01:14:49 |
But how in the world are |
| 01:14:53 |
Wait a moment. |
| 01:14:56 |
Suppose we had a somewhat |
| 01:15:00 |
...with a little of the ability |
| 01:15:03 |
...and able sufficiently well |
| 01:15:05 |
...a lady of rank... |
| 01:15:08 |
...of some whimsical title of |
| 01:15:11 |
...whom we would suppose to |
| 01:15:16 |
I should have enough power |
| 01:15:18 |
...to persuade him that she is |
| 01:15:46 |
In possession, |
| 01:16:02 |
...of a hundred thousand |
| 01:16:12 |
That she is deeply |
| 01:16:15 |
...and that she would marry him at any cost, |
| 01:16:19 |
...by the marriage contract. |
| 01:17:01 |
I have no doubt he would |
| 01:17:03 |
For certainly he loves |
| 01:17:06 |
...but he loves |
| 01:17:09 |
When once he has consented |
| 01:17:11 |
...it does not signify much |
| 01:17:17 |
...the true state of affairs |
| 01:17:19 |
All that is very well made up. |
| 01:17:21 |
Depend on my gratitude, |
| 01:17:26 |
Leave it to me. |
| 01:17:30 |
But, dear Marianne... |
| 01:17:31 |
...let us begin by gaining |
| 01:17:34 |
...forget not, I beseech you, |
| 01:17:37 |
...those loving caresses to |
| 01:17:41 |
I will do all I can, and |
| 01:17:56 |
My son is kissing the hand |
| 01:17:59 |
...and his intended stepmother |
| 01:18:02 |
Can there be any |
| 01:18:07 |
Here comes my father. |
| 01:18:13 |
The carriage is quite ready, |
| 01:18:16 |
Since you are not going, |
| 01:18:19 |
No, stop here. They can easily take |
| 01:18:38 |
All consideration of stepmother aside, |
| 01:18:43 |
What I think of her? |
| 01:18:45 |
Yes, her figure, her beauty |
| 01:18:49 |
So, so. |
| 01:18:51 |
What else? |
| 01:18:53 |
To tell you the truth, I did |
| 01:18:58 |
Her manner is that of a coquette, |
| 01:19:01 |
Her beauty very middling... |
| 01:19:04 |
...and her intelligence |
| 01:19:05 |
I do not mean to make you dislike her. |
| 01:19:11 |
You spoke to her just now, |
| 01:19:12 |
I paid her several compliments in your |
| 01:19:15 |
So then you don't care for her? |
| 01:19:18 |
I? Not in the least. |
| 01:19:21 |
I am sorry for it... |
| 01:19:24 |
...for that puts an end to a scheme |
| 01:19:27 |
Since I have seen her here, I have |
| 01:19:30 |
...and I feel that people would find fault |
| 01:19:34 |
This consideration had made me |
| 01:19:36 |
...and as I had demanded her in marriage |
| 01:19:41 |
...I would have given her to you if it |
| 01:19:43 |
To me? |
| 01:19:45 |
In marriage? |
| 01:19:46 |
In marriage. |
| 01:19:47 |
It is true she is not |
| 01:19:50 |
...but, to please you, father, I will |
| 01:19:52 |
I am more reasonable than you think. |
| 01:19:56 |
Excuse me! I will make |
| 01:19:58 |
No, no, a marriage cannot be |
| 01:20:01 |
That, my father, will, |
| 01:20:04 |
...and it is said that love is |
| 01:20:06 |
No, it is not right to risk |
| 01:20:08 |
If you had felt any |
| 01:20:10 |
...you should have married |
| 01:20:13 |
...but as it is, I will return to my |
| 01:20:16 |
Well, father, since things are so, |
| 01:20:20 |
...and reveal our secret to you. |
| 01:20:22 |
The truth is that I have loved her |
| 01:20:25 |
I intended to ask you |
| 01:20:29 |
...and I was only deterred from it |
| 01:20:39 |
Have you ever paid her any visits? |
| 01:20:42 |
Yes, father. |
| 01:20:43 |
Many? |
| 01:20:46 |
Yes, considering how long |
| 01:20:48 |
You were well received? |
| 01:20:50 |
Very well, but without |
| 01:20:52 |
...and that is why Marianne was |
| 01:20:56 |
Have you told her of your love, |
| 01:21:00 |
Certainly, and I also spoke a |
| 01:21:05 |
Did she kindly receive your |
| 01:21:08 |
Yes, very kindly. |
| 01:21:10 |
And does the daughter |
| 01:21:14 |
If I can believe appearances... |
| 01:21:17 |
...she is certainly well |
| 01:21:20 |
I am very glad to have |
| 01:21:24 |
It is the very thing |
| 01:21:27 |
Now, look here, my son, |
| 01:21:28 |
You will have to get rid of |
| 01:21:31 |
...to cease to pay your |
| 01:21:33 |
...I intend for myself, and to marry very |
| 01:21:42 |
So, father, it is thus |
| 01:21:44 |
Since things are come |
| 01:21:47 |
...I openly declare to you that I shall |
| 01:21:49 |
Henceforth there is nothing from which I |
| 01:21:53 |
...and if you have on your side |
| 01:21:55 |
...I shall have some other |
| 01:21:58 |
You dare to trespass |
| 01:22:00 |
It is you who trespass on mine. |
| 01:22:03 |
Am I not your father, and |
| 01:22:06 |
There are things in which children are not |
| 01:22:08 |
...and love is no respector of persons. |
| 01:22:10 |
My stick will make you know me better. |
| 01:22:12 |
All your threatenings are nothing to me. |
| 01:22:14 |
You will give up Marianne? |
| 01:22:18 |
Gentlemen, what does this mean? |
| 01:22:21 |
I don't care a bit for it. |
| 01:22:22 |
Such impudence! |
| 01:22:24 |
I shall keep to it. |
| 01:22:25 |
Let me do it. |
| 01:22:26 |
To your son? To me it's different. |
| 01:22:30 |
I will make you judge between |
| 01:22:35 |
...so that you may see that |
| 01:22:36 |
I accept. |
| 01:22:52 |
Go a little farther back. |
| 01:22:55 |
There is a young girl |
| 01:22:57 |
...and the scoundrel loves her also, |
| 01:23:01 |
Oh, he is wrong. |
| 01:23:02 |
Is it not abominable to see a son who does not |
| 01:23:05 |
And is it not his bounden duty |
| 01:23:09 |
You are quite right. |
| 01:23:11 |
Let me go and speak to him. |
| 01:23:16 |
If he wants to make you a judge |
| 01:23:20 |
...and I don't mind referring |
| 01:23:24 |
You do me great honour. |
| 01:23:27 |
I am in love with a young girl |
| 01:23:30 |
...and who receives kindly |
| 01:23:32 |
...but my father takes it into his head |
| 01:23:36 |
He certainly is wrong. |
| 01:23:37 |
Is it not shameful for a man |
| 01:23:40 |
I ask you if it is right |
| 01:23:42 |
Ought he not now to |
| 01:23:44 |
You are quite right. Let me speak |
| 01:23:49 |
Your son is not so extravagant as |
| 01:23:53 |
He says that he is conscious |
| 01:23:56 |
...and that he only got angry |
| 01:23:59 |
He will willingly submit |
| 01:24:02 |
...if you will only promise to |
| 01:24:05 |
...and will give him in |
| 01:24:10 |
Tell him that he will obtain everything |
| 01:24:14 |
...and that, except Marianne, |
| 01:24:21 |
Except Marianne? |
| 01:24:23 |
Except Marianne. |
| 01:24:24 |
Leave that to me. |
| 01:24:27 |
Your father is not so unreasonable |
| 01:24:30 |
...and he tells me that it is |
| 01:24:34 |
He only objects to your way of doing things, |
| 01:24:39 |
...provided you will |
| 01:24:42 |
...and will give him the deference and |
| 01:24:47 |
Master Jacques, you can assure him |
| 01:24:50 |
...he will always find me the |
| 01:24:53 |
...and that I shall never do |
| 01:24:58 |
He consents to what you say. |
| 01:25:00 |
Nothing could be better. |
| 01:25:03 |
He is satisfied with your |
| 01:25:05 |
Heaven be praised! |
| 01:25:08 |
Gentlemen, you have nothing to |
| 01:25:11 |
You are agreed and yet you |
| 01:25:15 |
My poor Master Jacques, I shall |
| 01:25:18 |
Don't mention it. |
| 01:25:19 |
You have given me great pleasure |
| 01:25:29 |
I will remember it, I promise you. |
| 01:25:32 |
I'll kiss your hands. |
| 01:26:08 |
I beg your pardon, father, |
| 01:26:11 |
It is nothing. |
| 01:26:16 |
I assure you that I feel |
| 01:26:18 |
I am very happy to see |
| 01:26:21 |
How very kind of you so |
| 01:26:25 |
One easily forgets the faults of children |
| 01:26:30 |
What, you are not angry with me |
| 01:26:33 |
By your submission and respectful |
| 01:26:37 |
I assure you, father... |
| 01:26:39 |
...I shall for ever keep in heart the |
| 01:26:43 |
And I promise you that, in future, |
| 01:26:49 |
I ask nothing more. |
| 01:26:51 |
It is sufficient for me that you |
| 01:26:54 |
What? |
| 01:26:55 |
I say that I am only |
| 01:26:57 |
...and that when you give me |
| 01:27:01 |
Who talks of giving you Marianne? |
| 01:27:04 |
You, father. |
| 01:27:05 |
I? |
| 01:27:06 |
Yes. |
| 01:27:07 |
Is it not you who promised |
| 01:27:08 |
I, give her up? |
| 01:27:10 |
Certainly not. |
| 01:27:11 |
Did you not give up all |
| 01:27:12 |
On the contrary. |
| 01:27:15 |
What, scoundrel! Again? |
| 01:27:17 |
Nothing can make me |
| 01:27:18 |
Let me get at you again, wretch! |
| 01:27:20 |
You can do as you please. |
| 01:27:23 |
As you like. |
| 01:27:23 |
I abandon you. |
| 01:27:24 |
Abandon me. |
| 01:27:25 |
I disown you. |
| 01:27:28 |
I disinherit you. |
| 01:27:29 |
As you will. |
| 01:27:30 |
I give you my curse. |
| 01:27:33 |
I want none of your gifts. |
| 01:28:02 |
Sir, you are just in the nick |
| 01:28:05 |
What is the matter? |
| 01:28:07 |
How? |
| 01:28:13 |
Here is all you want. |
| 01:28:15 |
I have watched for this all day. |
| 01:28:17 |
What is it? |
| 01:28:19 |
How did you manage it? |
| 01:28:20 |
Thieves! |
| 01:28:22 |
Let us be off. I can hear him |
| 01:28:24 |
Thieves! Assassins! |
| 01:28:26 |
Justice, just heavens! |
| 01:28:28 |
I am undone, I am murdered. |
| 01:28:31 |
They have cut my throat, |
| 01:28:34 |
Who can it be? |
| 01:28:36 |
Where is he? Where is he |
| 01:28:39 |
What shall I do to find him? |
| 01:28:42 |
Where shall I not run? |
| 01:28:44 |
Is he not here? |
| 01:28:47 |
Is he not here? |
| 01:28:53 |
Who is this? Stop! |
| 01:28:58 |
Ah...! it is myself. |
| 01:29:01 |
My mind is wandering, and I know not |
| 01:29:05 |
My poor money... |
| 01:29:08 |
My poor money... |
| 01:29:12 |
My dearest friend, they have |
| 01:29:16 |
...and since thou art |
| 01:29:18 |
...my consolation, and my joy. |
| 01:29:21 |
I have nothing more |
| 01:29:23 |
Without thee it is |
| 01:29:26 |
I can bear it no longer. |
| 01:29:30 |
I am dying... |
| 01:29:32 |
I am dead, I am buried. |
| 01:29:37 |
Is there nobody who will call me from the dead, |
| 01:29:42 |
...or by telling |
| 01:29:43 |
What is it you say? It is no one. |
| 01:30:09 |
Whoever has |
| 01:30:11 |
...must have watched carefully |
| 01:30:13 |
...and must have chosen the moment when |
| 01:30:18 |
I must go. I will demand justice, and have the |
| 01:30:22 |
...my maids and my valets, my son, |
| 01:30:26 |
I see no one who does not rouse |
| 01:30:31 |
Everyone seems to be my thief. |
| 01:30:33 |
What are they speaking of there? |
| 01:30:37 |
What noise is that up yonder? |
| 01:30:41 |
If you know anything of my thief, |
| 01:30:47 |
Is he hiding there among you? |
| 01:30:53 |
They all look at me and laugh. |
| 01:30:55 |
We shall see that they all |
| 01:30:58 |
Quick! magistrates, |
| 01:31:01 |
...judges, racks, gibbets, and |
| 01:31:05 |
I will hang everybody... |
| 01:31:07 |
And if I do not find my money, I |
| 01:31:11 |
Enough! |
| 01:31:16 |
Leave that to me. |
| 01:31:19 |
This is not the first time I have been |
| 01:31:21 |
...and I wish I had as many bags of a |
| 01:31:25 |
Every magistrate must |
| 01:31:29 |
...and if my money |
| 01:31:32 |
...I shall call justice |
| 01:31:38 |
We must take all needful steps. |
| 01:31:41 |
You say there was |
| 01:31:43 |
Ten thousand crowns in cash. |
| 01:31:45 |
Ten thousand crowns? |
| 01:31:46 |
Ten thousand crowns. |
| 01:31:48 |
There is no punishment great enough |
| 01:31:54 |
...and if it remain unpunished, the most |
| 01:31:59 |
In what coins was that sum? |
| 01:32:01 |
In good louis d'or and |
| 01:32:08 |
Whom do you suspect |
| 01:32:10 |
Everybody. |
| 01:32:11 |
I wish you to take into custody |
| 01:32:14 |
You must not, if you trust |
| 01:32:16 |
...but must use gentle means |
| 01:32:19 |
...in order afterwards to proceed with |
| 01:32:25 |
I am coming back. |
| 01:32:28 |
...have his feet singed... |
| 01:32:31 |
...put him in boiling water... |
| 01:32:33 |
...and hang him up to the ceiling. |
| 01:32:34 |
What! Him who has robbed me? |
| 01:32:36 |
I was speaking of a sucking pig... |
| 01:32:39 |
...that your steward |
| 01:32:41 |
This is no longer the question... and you have |
| 01:32:44 |
Don't get frightened. |
| 01:32:46 |
I am not a man to cause any scandal, |
| 01:32:50 |
Is this gentleman coming |
| 01:32:51 |
You must, in this case, my good man, |
| 01:32:54 |
Sir, I will show you all I know... |
| 01:32:56 |
...and will treat you in |
| 01:32:58 |
That's not the question. |
| 01:33:01 |
If I do not give as good |
| 01:33:03 |
...it is the fault of your steward, who |
| 01:33:08 |
Rascal! We have other matters |
| 01:33:11 |
...and I want you to tell me what has become |
| 01:33:15 |
Some money has been stolen from you? |
| 01:33:16 |
Yes. |
| 01:33:17 |
And I'll have you hanged if you |
| 01:33:24 |
Don't be hard upon him. |
| 01:33:27 |
I see by his looks that |
| 01:33:30 |
...and that he will tell you |
| 01:33:33 |
...without going to prison. |
| 01:33:36 |
Yes, my friend... |
| 01:33:38 |
...if you confess, no harm |
| 01:33:40 |
...and you shall be well |
| 01:33:44 |
Some money has been |
| 01:33:47 |
...and it is not possible |
| 01:33:54 |
The very thing I wanted in order |
| 01:33:57 |
Ever since he came here, |
| 01:34:00 |
His advice is the only |
| 01:34:03 |
Moreover, I have forgotten |
| 01:34:06 |
What are you muttering |
| 01:34:07 |
Leave him alone. He is preparing |
| 01:34:09 |
I told you that he was an honest fellow. |
| 01:34:11 |
Sir... |
| 01:34:12 |
...since you want me to |
| 01:34:15 |
...I believe it is your |
| 01:34:18 |
Valère? |
| 01:34:20 |
Yes. |
| 01:34:21 |
He who seemed so faithful to me! |
| 01:34:23 |
Himself. I believe that it is |
| 01:34:28 |
And what makes you believe it? |
| 01:34:29 |
What makes me believe it? |
| 01:34:32 |
I believe it... because I believe it. |
| 01:34:34 |
But you must tell us |
| 01:34:37 |
Did you see him hanging about |
| 01:34:40 |
Yes, indeed. |
| 01:34:42 |
In the garden. |
| 01:34:45 |
And in what was |
| 01:34:48 |
The very thing. |
| 01:34:52 |
And this casket, what was it like? |
| 01:34:55 |
What it was like? |
| 01:34:56 |
It was like... like a casket. |
| 01:34:59 |
Of course. But describe it a little, |
| 01:35:02 |
It was a large casket. |
| 01:35:04 |
The one taken from |
| 01:35:06 |
Yes, small if you look |
| 01:35:09 |
...but I call it large |
| 01:35:10 |
And what colour was it? |
| 01:35:13 |
What colour? |
| 01:35:15 |
Of a colour... |
| 01:35:17 |
...of a certain colour.... Can't you |
| 01:35:20 |
No. |
| 01:35:23 |
Red, isn't it? |
| 01:35:24 |
No, grey. |
| 01:35:26 |
Yes, reddish-grey. |
| 01:35:28 |
There is no doubt about it, |
| 01:35:31 |
Write down his evidence, sir! |
| 01:35:34 |
Heavens! whom can |
| 01:35:38 |
We must never swear |
| 01:35:40 |
I believe now that I |
| 01:35:50 |
There he is coming back. I beg of you |
| 01:36:01 |
Come near. |
| 01:36:07 |
Confess the most abominable action. |
| 01:36:10 |
The most horrible crime, |
| 01:36:19 |
What do you want, sir? |
| 01:36:21 |
Wretch! you do not blush for |
| 01:36:25 |
Of what crime do you speak? |
| 01:36:27 |
Of what crime I speak? |
| 01:36:30 |
It is in vain for you |
| 01:36:32 |
The thing is discovered. |
| 01:36:34 |
How could you |
| 01:36:36 |
Introduce yourself on purpose into |
| 01:36:40 |
Since everything is known to you, I will |
| 01:36:46 |
Have I guessed the truth? |
| 01:36:52 |
I intended to speak |
| 01:36:54 |
...and I was watching for a |
| 01:36:57 |
But, as this is no longer possible, |
| 01:37:01 |
And what fine motives can |
| 01:37:07 |
I do not deserve these names. |
| 01:37:09 |
I am guilty towards you, |
| 01:37:13 |
How pardonable? |
| 01:37:16 |
I beseech you not to |
| 01:37:18 |
You will see that the harm is not |
| 01:37:20 |
The harm not so great as I make it out |
| 01:37:26 |
Your blood, sir, has not |
| 01:37:28 |
My rank is high |
| 01:37:31 |
...and there is nothing in all this for which |
| 01:37:33 |
It is, indeed, my intention that you should |
| 01:37:36 |
Your honour, sir, |
| 01:37:39 |
Honour is not the question in all this. |
| 01:37:42 |
Do you ask it? |
| 01:37:44 |
Yes, I should rather think that I do. |
| 01:37:45 |
A god who carries with him his excuses |
| 01:37:51 |
Love? |
| 01:37:52 |
Yes. |
| 01:37:54 |
Fine love that! Fine love, indeed. |
| 01:37:58 |
No, sir. |
| 01:38:08 |
It is not your wealth |
| 01:38:11 |
I swear never to pretend to any of your |
| 01:38:15 |
In the name of all the devils, |
| 01:38:17 |
Such villainy! He wishes to keep |
| 01:38:20 |
Do you call that a robbery? |
| 01:38:21 |
If I call that a robbery? |
| 01:38:24 |
I acknowledge that it is a treasure, |
| 01:38:28 |
...but it will not be losing |
| 01:38:30 |
I ask you on my knees for this |
| 01:38:33 |
...and if you do right, |
| 01:38:35 |
I will do nothing of the kind. |
| 01:38:37 |
We have pledged our faith to each other, |
| 01:38:40 |
The oath is admirable, and the |
| 01:38:42 |
Yes, we are engaged |
| 01:38:45 |
I know well how to disengage you, |
| 01:38:48 |
Nothing but death can separate us. |
| 01:38:49 |
You must be devilishly |
| 01:38:53 |
I have told you already, sir... |
| 01:38:54 |
...that it is not self-interest |
| 01:38:56 |
It was not that which |
| 01:38:59 |
...a nobler motive inspired me. |
| 01:39:01 |
We shall hear presently that |
| 01:39:11 |
But justice, impudent rascal, |
| 01:39:16 |
You will do as you please, and I |
| 01:39:19 |
...but I beg of you to believe that if there |
| 01:39:23 |
...and that your daughter has |
| 01:39:25 |
I should think not. |
| 01:39:26 |
It would be strange, indeed, if my |
| 01:39:29 |
But I will have that treasure back again... |
| 01:39:31 |
...and you must confess to what |
| 01:39:34 |
I have not carried it off, |
| 01:39:36 |
O my beloved casket! |
| 01:39:39 |
No, sir. |
| 01:39:42 |
Then, tell me, have you taken |
| 01:39:48 |
Liberties? |
| 01:39:49 |
You wrong us both. |
| 01:39:52 |
The flame with which I burn is too |
| 01:39:55 |
He burns for my casket. |
| 01:39:57 |
I had rather die than show the |
| 01:40:00 |
I found too much modesty for that. |
| 01:40:01 |
My cash-box modest. |
| 01:40:03 |
All my desires were limited |
| 01:40:05 |
...and nothing criminal has profaned the |
| 01:40:08 |
The fair eyes of my cash-box. |
| 01:40:10 |
He speaks of it as |
| 01:40:13 |
Dame Claude knows the truth, |
| 01:40:17 |
My servant is an accomplice |
| 01:40:22 |
I say, I say... |
| 01:40:26 |
Yes, sir, she was a witness |
| 01:40:28 |
...and she helped me to persuade |
| 01:40:34 |
Has the fear of justice |
| 01:40:37 |
What rubbish are you |
| 01:40:39 |
I found it most difficult to make her modesty |
| 01:40:44 |
The modesty of whom? |
| 01:40:45 |
Of your daughter... |
| 01:40:46 |
...and it was only yesterday that she |
| 01:40:50 |
My daughter has signed a |
| 01:40:53 |
Yes, sir, and I have also signed. |
| 01:40:56 |
O heavens! Another misfortune! |
| 01:40:58 |
Write, sir, write. |
| 01:40:59 |
Aggravation of misery! |
| 01:41:03 |
Sir, discharge your duty... |
| 01:41:06 |
...and draw me up an indictment |
| 01:41:09 |
These are names which I do not deserve, |
| 01:41:18 |
Guilty daughter! Unworthy |
| 01:41:22 |
Is it thus that you put |
| 01:41:24 |
You give your |
| 01:41:26 |
...and engage yourself to |
| 01:41:28 |
But you shall both be disappointed. |
| 01:41:30 |
Four strong walls will answer for |
| 01:41:33 |
...and good gallows shall do me |
| 01:41:36 |
Your anger will be no |
| 01:41:38 |
...and I shall at least have |
| 01:41:41 |
I was wrong to say gallows... |
| 01:41:49 |
Father! |
| 01:41:51 |
Be more merciful, |
| 01:41:53 |
...and do not let your paternal |
| 01:41:56 |
Do not be carried away by the first |
| 01:41:59 |
...but give yourself time to |
| 01:42:02 |
Take the trouble of inquiring about him |
| 01:42:05 |
He is not what you imagine. |
| 01:42:07 |
Know that without him you |
| 01:42:12 |
Yes, father, it is he who saved me from |
| 01:42:16 |
...and to whom you owe the life |
| 01:42:18 |
It would have been much better for me if |
| 01:42:21 |
...rather than do what he has done. |
| 01:42:23 |
My father, I beseech you, |
| 01:42:24 |
I will hear nothing, and justice |
| 01:42:28 |
You shall pay me for |
| 01:42:30 |
What a perplexing state of affairs! |
| 01:42:36 |
You are quite upset, |
| 01:42:39 |
Mr. Anselme... |
| 01:42:42 |
...you see in me the most |
| 01:42:44 |
...and you can never imagine what vexation is |
| 01:42:48 |
I am attacked in my property. I am |
| 01:42:51 |
...and you see there a scoundrel who |
| 01:42:55 |
...who has introduced himself into |
| 01:42:58 |
and seduce my daughter. |
| 01:43:00 |
Who ever thought of your money? |
| 01:43:03 |
They have given each other |
| 01:43:07 |
This insult concerns you, |
| 01:43:08 |
...and it is you who ought to be |
| 01:43:11 |
...and who ought to prosecute him |
| 01:43:15 |
It is not my intention to force anybody, |
| 01:43:18 |
But as far as your interests are concerned, I am |
| 01:43:22 |
This is the gentleman, |
| 01:43:25 |
...who will omit nothing of what |
| 01:43:29 |
Charge him as he ought to be, |
| 01:43:36 |
I do not see what crime they can make |
| 01:43:40 |
...nor the punishment you think I ought to be |
| 01:43:44 |
I don't care a pin |
| 01:43:46 |
The world is full, nowadays, |
| 01:43:48 |
...of those impostors, who |
| 01:43:51 |
...and deck themselves out with the first |
| 01:43:55 |
Know that I am too upright to adorn myself |
| 01:43:59 |
...and that all Naples can |
| 01:44:02 |
Take care of what you |
| 01:44:05 |
You risk more than you think. |
| 01:44:07 |
You speak before a man |
| 01:44:09 |
...and who can soon see |
| 01:44:12 |
I am not the man |
| 01:44:15 |
...and if all Naples is known to you, |
| 01:44:18 |
Few people know him |
| 01:44:22 |
I care neither for Don Thomas |
| 01:44:25 |
Have patience. We shall soon know |
| 01:44:28 |
That it is to him that |
| 01:44:32 |
To him? |
| 01:44:34 |
You are laughing. |
| 01:44:36 |
Try and make out a |
| 01:44:38 |
...and don't pretend to shelter yourself |
| 01:44:41 |
Consider your words better |
| 01:44:43 |
It is no imposture, and I say nothing |
| 01:44:49 |
What? |
| 01:44:50 |
You dare to call |
| 01:44:52 |
...of Don Thomas d'Alburci? |
| 01:44:54 |
Yes, I dare to do so, and I am ready |
| 01:44:58 |
This audacity is marvellous. |
| 01:45:00 |
Learn to your confusion... |
| 01:45:02 |
...that it is sixteen years ago since this man died |
| 01:45:07 |
...when he was trying to save their lives |
| 01:45:12 |
...and which caused the banishment |
| 01:45:14 |
But learn to your confusion... |
| 01:45:18 |
...that his son, seven years |
| 01:45:21 |
...saved from the wreck |
| 01:45:23 |
...and that this son is he |
| 01:45:28 |
The captain of that |
| 01:45:32 |
...and brought me up as his own son. |
| 01:45:35 |
...and that the profession of arms has |
| 01:45:38 |
Lately I heard that |
| 01:45:41 |
Passing this way to go and find him out, |
| 01:45:45 |
...brought to my sight |
| 01:45:49 |
The sight of her made me |
| 01:45:53 |
...and the violence of my love and |
| 01:45:57 |
...made me come into his house and send |
| 01:46:02 |
But what other proofs have you |
| 01:46:05 |
...that all this is not a fable |
| 01:46:08 |
The captain of |
| 01:46:12 |
...a ruby seal which |
| 01:46:14 |
...an agate bracelet which my |
| 01:46:17 |
...and old Pedro, that servant who |
| 01:46:21 |
I can answer here for what you have said, |
| 01:46:24 |
...and all you say clearly tells |
| 01:46:28 |
You my sister? |
| 01:46:33 |
Yes, my heart was touched |
| 01:46:36 |
Our mother often told me of the |
| 01:46:40 |
Heaven spared us also |
| 01:46:42 |
...but our life was spared at |
| 01:46:46 |
My mother and myself were taken up by |
| 01:46:50 |
After ten years of slavery a lucky |
| 01:46:53 |
...and we returned to Naples... |
| 01:46:55 |
...where we found all our property |
| 01:46:58 |
We embarked for Genoa, where my mother |
| 01:47:04 |
Leaving her unjust relatives... |
| 01:47:07 |
...she came here, |
| 01:47:10 |
O heaven! how wonderful |
| 01:47:13 |
How true it is that it only |
| 01:47:19 |
Come to my arms, my children. |
| 01:47:22 |
Share the joy of your happy father. |
| 01:47:25 |
You are our father? |
| 01:47:29 |
It was for you that |
| 01:47:31 |
Yes, my daughter. |
| 01:47:32 |
Yes, my son. |
| 01:47:38 |
I am Don Thomas d'Alburci... |
| 01:47:41 |
...whom heaven saved |
| 01:47:44 |
...and who believing you all dead... |
| 01:47:46 |
...after 16 years, was preparing... |
| 01:47:49 |
...after long journeys, to seek the |
| 01:47:54 |
...in marrying a |
| 01:47:57 |
The little security there |
| 01:48:00 |
...has made me abandon the |
| 01:48:02 |
...and having found the means |
| 01:48:05 |
...I settled here... |
| 01:48:07 |
...where, under the name of Anselme, |
| 01:48:11 |
...of a name associated with |
| 01:48:16 |
He is your son? |
| 01:48:18 |
I make you responsible for the ten thousand |
| 01:48:22 |
He steal anything from you! |
| 01:48:24 |
Who said so? |
| 01:48:28 |
You say that? |
| 01:48:29 |
You see that I am |
| 01:48:31 |
He certainly did. |
| 01:48:34 |
There is the officer who |
| 01:48:38 |
Yes. |
| 01:48:42 |
Can you really believe me |
| 01:48:45 |
Capable or not capable, |
| 01:48:48 |
Do not grieve for your |
| 01:48:51 |
...and accuse any one. |
| 01:48:53 |
I have news of it... |
| 01:48:56 |
...and I come here to tell you... |
| 01:48:58 |
...that if you consent to let me |
| 01:49:01 |
...your money will be |
| 01:49:06 |
Where is it? |
| 01:49:07 |
Do not trouble yourself |
| 01:49:08 |
It is in a safe place, and I |
| 01:49:12 |
It is for you to decide... |
| 01:49:15 |
...and you have the choice... |
| 01:49:16 |
...either of losing Marianne... |
| 01:49:19 |
...or your cash-box. |
| 01:49:23 |
Has nothing been taken out? |
| 01:49:24 |
Nothing at all. |
| 01:49:26 |
Is it your intention to agree |
| 01:49:29 |
...and to join your consent |
| 01:49:33 |
...who leaves her at |
| 01:49:43 |
But you do not know that this |
| 01:49:46 |
...and that heaven has given |
| 01:49:48 |
...that it has given me back a father and |
| 01:49:51 |
Heaven has not restored you to |
| 01:49:55 |
Mr. Harpagon, you must be aware |
| 01:49:58 |
...is more likely to fall upon |
| 01:50:00 |
Do not force people to say |
| 01:50:03 |
...and consent, as I do, to |
| 01:50:06 |
In order for me to be well advised, |
| 01:50:12 |
You shall see it safe and sound. |
| 01:50:14 |
I have no money to give |
| 01:50:19 |
Never mind, I have some. |
| 01:50:22 |
Do you take upon yourself to defray |
| 01:50:27 |
Yes, I will take this |
| 01:50:29 |
Are you satisfied? |
| 01:50:31 |
Yes, provided you order me a new |
| 01:50:37 |
Agreed! |
| 01:51:25 |
Let us go and enjoy the blessings |
| 01:52:06 |
Stop, sirs, stop. |
| 01:52:08 |
Who is to pay me for my writing? |
| 01:52:10 |
We have nothing to do |
| 01:52:13 |
Indeed, and yet I do not pretend |
| 01:52:33 |
There is a fellow you can |
| 01:52:38 |
What is one to do? |
| 01:52:41 |
I receive a good cudgelling |
| 01:52:43 |
...and now they would |
| 01:52:45 |
Mr. Harpagon, you must forgive |
| 01:52:49 |
You will pay the officer then? |
| 01:52:51 |
Let it be so. |
| 01:53:27 |
To see my dear casket. |
| 01:53:40 |
Harpagon. |
| 01:53:48 |
Good luck, dear Harpagon. |
