Une Vieille Ma tresse The Last Mistress

en
00:01:20 My dear...
00:01:23 You've grasped me by
00:01:26 the supreme passion,
00:01:30 the cardinal sin of gluttony.
00:01:33 Sadly,
00:01:37 the only sin left,
00:01:43 Indeed!
00:02:05 They're the delights of Capua!
00:02:13 But Hannibal mustn't linger
00:02:18 No, I'll go to Canossa for you.
00:02:21 Or more precisely to 46 rue des Carmes,
00:02:26 So that species has a name?
00:02:28 Yes, she's Spanish,
00:02:30 born in 1799 in Malaga, so that...
00:02:36 So that... she's 36 years old.
00:02:41 A good age to make way for another.
00:03:04 Has your best friend
00:03:09 What has this Marigny done to her?
00:03:11 He's a womanizer
00:03:15 I know...
00:03:16 And she lets him marry
00:03:20 The jewel of the French aristocracy!
00:03:24 She, who was always so wise,
00:03:29 She should marry him herself!
00:03:31 Hold your tongue!
00:03:33 It's the talk of the town,
00:03:39 Here we are: 46 rue des Carmes!
00:03:46 I shall inform the Senora
00:03:48 to her beloved Marigny
00:03:52 If it managed to dash this marriage,
00:03:55 you'd pleasure me more
00:03:58 than you ever did.
00:04:05 Such ingratitude!
00:04:20 Monsieur de Prony!
00:04:22 In person.
00:04:29 How fares my pretty?
00:04:32 - Is the Senora at home to visitors?
00:04:41 I'll keep the stick, I need it.
00:04:50 Monsieur de Prony, Madame.
00:05:05 Well, then... So how is
00:05:12 You're just as capricious, Viscount.
00:05:15 You used to visit me,
00:05:18 You seemed to hold me
00:05:22 One fine day,
00:05:28 I was taking the waters, my dear.
00:05:34 Taking the waters,
00:05:37 You're not in earnest, Viscount!
00:05:41 Anyway, it hasn't
00:05:45 None of us are getting
00:05:51 You still see Monsieur de Marigny?
00:05:54 Certainly.
00:05:59 Is it long since his last visit?
00:06:04 He comes when he pleases, he is free...
00:06:08 Do many people meet
00:06:11 Ten years of a less
00:06:17 Neither of us has been faithful.
00:06:21 It's been an unusual relationship.
00:06:26 With more hate than love.
00:06:29 All the better!
00:06:33 I'd be sorry to see you unhappy.
00:06:37 Are you aware of Monsieur de Marigny's
00:06:42 Don't worry,
00:06:44 in your world or mine,
00:06:48 people ran to tell me!
00:06:51 Twice if not once!
00:06:56 He'll come back to me, as always!
00:06:59 This time it's more than
00:07:07 Well... lf you insist,
00:07:12 it's a love affair
00:07:16 but it's not an ending.
00:07:19 An ending to the liaison
00:07:26 there is none, Monsieur de Prony!
00:07:37 So you're unfaithful tonight, to your
00:07:45 You're not at Madame de Flers'?
00:07:47 No, sir. Nor are
00:07:50 I dined there!
00:08:17 What's the matter?
00:08:19 Nothing...
00:08:25 See how you lie.
00:08:30 Leave me, Ryno!
00:08:39 - Leave me...
00:08:47 Why do you want to escape me?
00:08:50 What did that viper of a Viscount say
00:08:57 Nothing I didn't already know.
00:09:01 It's just that he took
00:09:06 You're hurting yourself.
00:09:09 You pay too much attention
00:09:16 What do they know about you and I?
00:09:20 What can they understand about us?
00:09:23 Nothing... They understand nothing...
00:09:57 He won't come now, it's past midnight.
00:10:02 He might yet arrive.
00:10:04 What if he did?
00:10:06 If he found you here,
00:10:09 Where would that get us!
00:10:12 Never let men rule you.
00:10:15 The most sincere love
00:10:19 Your grandmother is right.
00:10:23 It's his loss!
00:10:25 Go to bed like a good girl,
00:10:29 act with coolness toward him.
00:10:46 Now she has retired,
00:10:49 that she'll be incapable
00:10:53 She already loves him too much!
00:10:55 What's wrong with loving the man
00:11:00 We are not old for nothing, my dear.
00:11:02 You know as well as I do
00:11:06 the certainty of conquest.
00:11:10 That young girls,
00:11:16 are taken in,
00:11:18 We would never become mothers,
00:11:23 But when even grandmothers are fooled
00:11:27 by this pitiful comedy of seduction...
00:11:31 It's because I'm much
00:11:34 I was charmed and
00:11:37 and so happy about it, dear Countess,
00:11:40 that your bad auguries have
00:11:45 What you're saying is most grave!
00:11:47 He has turned your head more than hers.
00:11:50 Hasn't he!
00:11:51 Here, have a cup.
00:11:58 To pick you up.
00:12:02 It's no laughing matter, I assure you.
00:12:06 on the eve of this wedding,
00:12:10 to a mere gentleman without title,
00:12:14 She's rich enough for both of them!
00:12:16 What's more,
00:12:17 who has no scruples
00:12:22 You and I belong to the age of Laclos!
00:12:24 An age when such matters
00:12:28 The young people we knew, and loved,
00:12:31 were far worse than those of today,
00:12:34 and yet we didn't become old maids.
00:12:37 Our mothers had the courage
00:12:41 and we had the brazen
00:12:45 You can speak
00:12:49 Hermangarde is prettier than I was,
00:12:52 She doesn't have your
00:12:54 In love, the first to suffer has lost.
00:12:57 She's already trapped.
00:12:59 Hermangarde is what I cherish most.
00:13:01 Would I let her navigate alone
00:13:05 that is men's hearts?
00:13:07 This marriage will be my masterpiece.
00:13:11 Your masterpiece!
00:13:21 Good-bye, my friend!
00:13:25 And where might he be this evening?
00:13:29 He has a mistress, dear Marquise.
00:13:32 He has had for 10 years.
00:13:34 Only you and I were
00:13:59 I hate you!
00:14:14 You'll come back to me, Ryno!
00:14:17 I say it without a trace
00:14:22 without triumphantjealousy.
00:14:26 You'll trample on the girl
00:14:32 I've never loved anyone as I love her.
00:14:34 Not even you, Vellini!
00:14:38 The feelings you stirred
00:14:41 she has revived in a heart of thirty,
00:14:50 You don't cheat on the one you love
00:14:56 Is that what you believe?
00:15:08 I warned you this evening
00:15:13 So good-bye!
00:15:16 May what you say be true...
00:15:21 Oliva!
00:15:46 M. De Cerisy has
00:15:49 Let him wait! Or let him leave!
00:15:53 In any case, I'm free.
00:16:44 When all Paris was up in arms
00:16:47 with Madame de Mendoze and others,
00:16:51 he was deceiving them
00:16:57 A courtesan on the wane,
00:17:00 and rather vulgar, I hear...
00:17:02 I'll let you guess
00:17:05 Vulgar or not, she must be very crafty
00:17:10 from so many women!
00:17:13 After too much sweetness,
00:17:15 one may appreciate
00:17:19 Still, 10 years!
00:17:22 Persian marriages only last 7!
00:17:26 10 years together without
00:17:29 That's unheard of in Paris!
00:17:34 I know we're late.
00:17:37 If a box is rented by the year
00:19:40 Time you retired, my child.
00:19:42 I must have a last word
00:19:46 This secrecy means you're plotting?
00:19:48 Perhaps!
00:20:07 Don't be jealous,
00:20:12 And you, I permit you
00:20:42 What if that was your good-bye kiss?
00:20:45 Yes, if it were the last kiss,
00:20:50 And I canceled the wedding?
00:20:53 What have I done?
00:20:54 Nothing! I chose you,
00:20:58 But listen, M. De Marigny,
00:21:01 so alarming...
00:21:05 I was sure of it.
00:21:07 When I met Viscount de Prony
00:21:09 I know well, I guessed he'd been
00:21:12 sent by Countess d'Artelles.
00:21:18 She tried hard to stop this marriage!
00:21:22 Let's be frank
00:21:24 you've been what
00:21:27 Even if your heart is
00:21:31 you have had an intimate relationship
00:21:36 a sort of kept woman,
00:21:39 and have lived with her for ten years.
00:21:42 That is so. She was my mistress,
00:21:46 What? She no longer is?
00:21:48 When you're not here,
00:21:52 When one is as smitten as I,
00:21:54 by someone as sublime as
00:22:00 there's no room for other sentiments.
00:22:04 I do believe you sincerely love
00:22:07 but what if I was unable to believe
00:22:10 that you admit to, is indeed finished,
00:22:15 when you're still seeing that woman?
00:22:20 You would do me great offence.
00:22:23 If I gave my word to
00:22:26 Miss de Polastron's grandmother,
00:22:30 I believe you.
00:22:33 When did she cease to be your mistress?
00:22:36 A long time ago.
00:22:42 But let us be quite clear...
00:22:51 I'll be completely frank with you.
00:22:54 You're too far above other women
00:23:04 It's now a long time since Vellini
00:23:07 We separated amicably long
00:23:19 But if I were to deny
00:23:21 to this woman, my former love...
00:23:28 and that each time...
00:23:32 I yielded for a few hours
00:23:39 then I'd be lying.
00:23:41 I see the distinction, and accept it.
00:23:45 Still, for Hermangarde,
00:23:49 whether you love her or not,
00:23:53 The wrong, the danger here is less
00:23:57 You're right,
00:24:00 The day Viscount de Prony saw me,
00:24:03 I said goodbye to Senora Vellini.
00:24:05 Why didn't you say so sooner, my boy?
00:24:08 You would have eased my mind.
00:24:10 Now, I'm reassured.
00:24:13 But tell me,
00:24:14 Sunday at your wedding?
00:24:17 Countess d'Artelles
00:24:22 They don't know Vellini. She's too
00:24:28 Some may see her as a creature,
00:24:32 but she's a woman of great nobility.
00:24:40 But I understand why you fear
00:24:47 I told you I plan to leave Paris
00:24:53 I can promise you it will be for good.
00:24:57 I'm not insisting on that!
00:24:59 You love Paris too much to
00:25:02 I'm not a barbarous
00:25:04 the fidelity due her granddaughter.
00:25:08 It is Hermangarde I love,
00:25:11 and yet...
00:25:16 Although everything is
00:25:21 being near such a woman
00:25:25 I, more than any other,
00:25:31 You must have really loved her,
00:25:36 Damn herb teas,
00:25:39 Lt'll cheer us up.
00:26:00 You know I devised
00:26:05 I who hate going out,
00:26:12 You'd have been disappointed.
00:26:14 Vellini doesn'tjustify for many
00:26:20 So I've been told, yes!
00:26:22 But how did you become one of
00:26:26 You're reputed to be
00:26:31 The truth is so far from that!
00:26:34 For ten years,
00:26:37 But we were each other's victims.
00:26:40 Sometimes in turn.
00:26:46 It's a sad tale.
00:26:47 Tell it to me.
00:26:49 To what end?
00:26:51 What better sign of friendship
00:26:54 I, who'll become
00:26:57 than the trust of your past?
00:27:00 So I know everything about the husband
00:27:04 Since you command me...
00:27:09 It began ten years ago.
00:27:12 I was returning from Baden,
00:27:16 There I had surrendered to my taste
00:27:22 I was weary, as one is
00:27:29 I was at the Opera with a married woman
00:27:32 who bestowed her favors on me,
00:27:49 I'll be right back.
00:28:09 Ryno!
00:28:14 What a fine surprise! Sit down!
00:28:20 Where were you headed?
00:28:22 I was fleeing!
00:28:25 If faithful husbands who envy us
00:28:29 when their wives,
00:28:34 The disillusion and boredom
00:28:39 I'm just back from Spain
00:28:41 with a horde of curiosities.
00:28:43 And one that I'd like you to admire.
00:28:47 It's not an object, it's a woman.
00:28:50 From Malaga...
00:28:52 a capricious who can outstare the sun.
00:28:58 How amazing! There she is!
00:29:03 - Yet you won't understand...
00:29:06 She's a bit..."moorish".
00:29:11 Just come to dinner tomorrow.
00:29:14 A costume party for them,
00:29:17 You'll see what I see in her.
00:29:23 The illegitimate child of
00:29:26 and a famed Spanish matador...
00:29:28 She led a shady life in Seville
00:29:33 to a wealthy English baronet!
00:29:42 You're not English,
00:29:45 that ugly mutt.
00:29:48 It'd be pure vice!
00:29:49 Beware, your voice carries!
00:29:53 Too late! She heard you.
00:30:19 Miss Marie-Cornelie Falcone!
00:30:23 You're the first!
00:30:24 Sir Reginald Annesley,
00:30:29 In London we adore you!
00:30:31 What are you singing now?
00:30:33 I just did "lphigenia".
00:30:34 Monsieur Ryno de Marigny!
00:30:39 Ryno, you look no different.
00:30:41 I hate disguises.
00:30:43 You made no effort, that's perfect.
00:30:45 Come!
00:31:00 Lady Vellini Annesley...
00:31:02 Ryno de Marigny.
00:31:06 What are you disguised as?
00:31:10 I said, what are you disguised as?
00:31:12 The Devil!
00:31:45 I bought a little knick-knack...
00:31:48 A little box.
00:31:50 Its lid reminds me strangely
00:31:54 Look, pass it around...
00:32:32 You hardly looked at it!
00:32:33 I so admired you in
00:32:37 You're our finest voice.
00:32:39 Thank you.
00:32:41 What is it?
00:32:45 I wore my stage costume,
00:32:49 Costume parties are a bore.
00:32:52 You came as a she-devil?
00:32:54 No, as The Devil!
00:32:58 Except in young men, of course.
00:33:00 Of course!
00:33:02 Like Titian's
00:33:06 or Lotto's "Portait of a Young Man".
00:33:11 That's my glass!
00:33:14 I want to read your thoughts.
00:33:17 Not a chance!
00:33:20 My blunder has hurt you?
00:33:22 Not your "blunder", your "conceit"!
00:33:27 Then I won't excuse myself!
00:33:40 Well?
00:33:42 My dear Count, if you wanted
00:33:46 you shouldn't have asked me to dinner!
00:33:49 I'll fight you obstinately for her.
00:33:53 I accept the challenge!
00:33:56 But I warn you: She loathes you.
00:34:00 We'll see.
00:35:12 If you weren't already wed,
00:35:21 But... you're not English
00:35:25 to indulge in such folly.
00:35:29 It would be pure vice.
00:35:35 Spanish women are as vain
00:35:38 No. But they sense an insult,
00:35:43 and can hate even better
00:35:53 Forgive me.
00:35:56 It was a premature and silly opinion.
00:35:59 Just chatter.
00:36:04 I have nothing to forgive you.
00:36:07 Likes and dislikes are involuntary!
00:36:34 Let me play him.
00:37:04 It is my wife who brings me luck...
00:37:47 I couldn't avoid
00:37:50 that haughty and heartless creature
00:37:55 to mock the madness of
00:38:03 Sir Reginald Annesley isn't in, sir.
00:38:04 I know she's in, I saw her.
00:38:06 I have orders to keep you out.
00:38:08 Count de Mareuil is a personal friend!
00:38:12 Brawling in my house?
00:38:16 Let go of Monsieur de Marigny.
00:38:21 I've come every day, left my card.
00:38:25 The Senora's hatred of you has grown
00:38:27 where you changed your mind.
00:38:31 She delights in arousing
00:38:34 by describing how openly
00:38:37 claiming her virtue has been offended.
00:38:40 The hussy!
00:38:42 So the very polite
00:38:45 an amiable baronet,
00:38:46 feels he can act, not as a gentleman,
00:38:52 - Let me see her.
00:38:56 I ruined myself for her.
00:38:58 I have but a sou to live on,
00:39:00 to see herjust once.
00:39:04 You who live beside her,
00:39:08 Lt'd be pointless!
00:39:14 Or pray to God!
00:39:16 At St Gervais Church, at vespers.
00:39:20 Spanish ladies are devout.
00:39:25 I'll be eternally grateful to you.
00:41:13 Go!
00:41:24 My pride couldn't offer itself
00:41:28 Clearly, she disliked me
00:41:34 Every afternoon,
00:41:37 at the hour favored by
00:41:41 on the off chance of meeting her.
00:42:05 Madame...
00:42:08 Chance is kinder than you
00:42:12 Chance is a fool!
00:42:14 What appointment? It's an encounter!
00:42:17 That's your path!
00:42:21 I'd be a fool to waste
00:42:27 Sir Reginald stopped off briefly,
00:42:30 he'll be here in an instant.
00:42:34 How base to bring up your husband.
00:42:44 Say you trust in my repentance.
00:42:48 I have only this to say to you
00:42:52 for the second time, pass by!
00:42:55 You brand so well what is yours,
00:42:58 that I crave a second mark.
00:43:00 Reginald!
00:43:02 That name hurts more than your whip!
00:43:04 I'll stifle it on your lips.
00:43:27 At four paces, and fire!
00:43:31 Not now, sir.
00:43:36 Tomorrow at a time of your choosing.
00:43:38 At six in the morning,
00:43:43 and shall see the punishment.
00:43:46 Why not now?
00:43:49 I'd have enjoyed seeing
00:43:54 Look!
00:43:56 She came in person, just to see me die!
00:43:59 It's outrageous!
00:44:01 I'll chide Sir Reginald about this.
00:44:03 A woman has no place here.
00:44:05 Do nothing of the sort.
00:44:09 The matador's daughter wants blood
00:44:13 My witnesses...
00:44:16 Monsieur de Marigny asked me first.
00:44:18 And Count de Cerisy.
00:44:21 Here are mine.
00:44:26 I hope my husband kills you.
00:45:24 Run for a surgeon!
00:45:25 My God, the master's wounded!
00:45:33 Don't move!
00:46:05 You're mad! What are you doing?
00:46:07 I want to drink his blood!
00:46:16 Will he die?
00:46:21 After what you just did,
00:46:23 his wound has a greater chance
00:47:05 The wound was so deep
00:47:10 I hung between life
00:47:13 Yet I followed the doctor's orders,
00:47:17 desperate to get well.
00:47:34 Marquise, I wanted to get
00:48:05 That same dream again...
00:48:30 My God, I'm still dreaming...
00:48:35 I surrender, Ryno.
00:48:38 I struggled hard, but I am beaten.
00:48:52 Though cured of my wounds,
00:48:55 where Vellini came very early
00:49:00 and leftjust before dawn.
00:49:18 The odor of love...
00:49:22 Hold me tight... I love...
00:49:34 Ryno...
00:49:47 I miss you already.
00:50:07 You don't have another, I hope.
00:50:11 I swear!
00:50:13 Too easy. Swear it, on my head!
00:50:19 I swear it.
00:50:23 Locking me in?
00:50:25 Double-locking you!
00:50:35 Like your slave?
00:50:38 My prisoner.
00:50:44 Later you'll be my slave.
00:51:38 Ten past seven!
00:51:42 You never miss roll-call,
00:51:49 Why are you still up?
00:51:51 I'm trying to tell you...
00:51:54 Given the very limited
00:52:00 I could, if I so wished,
00:52:03 without you noticing...
00:52:12 Listen to what I'm saying!
00:52:16 Let go of me!
00:52:18 Go sleep off your drunkenness,
00:52:25 Sorry!
00:52:31 Not for much longer.
00:52:42 My leaving has nothing to do with you.
00:52:46 I'll always be grateful
00:52:59 But I love Ryno de Marigny.
00:53:01 One can't fight that.
00:53:04 Bye.
00:53:25 The next day, all of Paris,
00:53:29 the young things seen in chic cafes
00:53:32 and boxes at the Opera...
00:53:35 knew Lady Annesley
00:53:43 The scandal was huge.
00:53:52 I, being upper crust
00:54:00 suddenly inspired all kinds of horrors
00:54:03 but who didn't ban me
00:54:09 Vellini, who wasn't part of
00:54:14 didn't suffer from
00:54:20 Though Paris, for a year,
00:54:22 was the start of a liaison
00:54:28 There!
00:54:30 No, you can't stop now!
00:54:33 Tell me all about those ten years.
00:54:52 After that year, we left for Algeria.
00:54:58 We had a little daughter.
00:55:37 It's been five days...
00:55:44 We must bury her.
00:55:48 Let's burn her instead! This thing...
00:57:04 that... here and in this place...
00:57:15 was no longer love
00:57:22 a kind of barbarous rape...
00:57:28 I disapproved of it heart and soul.
00:57:35 But nothing could sway her...
00:57:40 She had to go through with it.
00:57:44 And I had to let her...
00:57:51 even if it made me feel
00:58:04 Don't be ashamed, I understand.
00:58:25 Back in Paris...
00:58:30 our relationship became a wretched
00:58:38 Our daughter's death had placed
00:58:44 I no longer existed in her eyes...
00:58:47 Except...
00:58:52 that she was so totally
00:58:57 that she always needed it...
00:59:08 At such times, I hated her.
00:59:14 I went as far as to wish her dead.
00:59:20 I began to submerge her with
00:59:28 I left the house more and more,
00:59:31 vowing to end the relationship.
00:59:35 When I'd get home,
00:59:42 The only thing which kept us together
00:59:47 was the bottomless
00:59:52 and we threw ourselves into it,
00:59:56 worse than before.
01:00:00 And all my hate was
01:00:03 But sooner or later,
01:00:05 love withers in these terrible games,
01:00:09 It falls, mutilated
01:00:14 It gets back up for a short time,
01:00:18 only to fall even more mutilated...
01:00:29 Then we no longer love each other?
01:00:34 My poor child,
01:00:37 we both know we
01:00:42 It is written on your brow.
01:00:47 Boredom overwhelms you,
01:00:51 you're not a weak creature
01:00:56 Let us separate.
01:01:01 Go on, I'm enthralled!
01:01:06 I told her that we'd stay friends,
01:01:08 and I proved it to her.
01:01:10 We spent even more time together,
01:01:16 I took her to the theater,
01:01:20 I went riding with her.
01:01:23 My elegant friends
01:01:25 who dumped their mistresses when
01:01:30 they were through with them,
01:01:33 made fun of me
01:01:36 My dear man, they'd say,
01:01:41 you still love her!
01:01:45 Marquise, I was sure of the opposite.
01:01:51 I'd returned to my bachelor life
01:01:56 to have any doubts
01:02:01 Vellini agreed we no longer
01:02:05 and stuck her claws into Cerisy.
01:02:08 So it was your Malaguena who ruined
01:02:14 I'm not painting a rosy picture of her.
01:02:17 I'm speaking frankly to you.
01:02:20 Anyone else but
01:02:23 and deny one could wreck one's life
01:02:28 My child,
01:02:29 we weren't as narrow-minded
01:02:34 And, believe me,
01:02:44 It's you, Ryno!
01:02:50 You didn't expect me?
01:02:54 My God, you're burning,
01:02:58 I don't know, but I'm bored.
01:03:09 Maybe this Spanish sunshine
01:03:13 Well... You may be right!
01:03:30 You're still the same Vellini!
01:03:37 The wild woman
01:03:42 Life is standing up to me!
01:03:47 I don't know what's wrong,
01:03:53 I was happier with you, Ryno.
01:04:01 Does Cerisy upset you, my poor girl?
01:04:05 Him? You know about him?
01:04:09 No he doesn't upset me, the poor man.
01:04:13 He wouldn't dare.
01:04:16 He is subservient, paralyzed,
01:04:20 totally devoted to me!
01:04:23 Only, it bores me.
01:04:26 I preferred life when you detested me.
01:04:33 And you, are you happy?
01:04:38 What if I'm not?
01:04:41 Don't lie to me!
01:04:45 You met a woman in London
01:04:47 and returned with her to Paris.
01:04:52 You came back together ten days ago.
01:04:54 The woman you mention
01:04:58 When you meet a compatriot abroad,
01:05:02 and without consequences.
01:05:07 And she was traveling with her husband!
01:05:12 You're not in love with her?
01:05:19 You were, Ryno!
01:05:25 But you were so immersed
01:05:30 you never saw me.
01:05:31 What if it's true?
01:05:35 She's the first woman I've loved
01:05:40 Why do you adopt that tone?
01:05:46 I know it's wrong.
01:05:59 Why do you insist on stopping
01:06:03 Not loving is the worst misfortune!
01:06:07 Why won't you answer?
01:06:10 You made me suffer too much.
01:06:13 I can't go back to that.
01:06:23 But you like to come back here
01:06:26 as much as it suits you,
01:06:29 nose in the air, hands in your pockets,
01:06:34 without any commitment!
01:06:39 Whereas with...
01:06:42 your Countess...
01:06:44 Countess who? Countess de Mendoze.
01:06:48 Stop that!
01:06:53 Or I'll never come here again!
01:06:55 So what? You think I still love you?
01:06:59 What do I care about you
01:07:04 You don't believe me?
01:07:07 Then put your hand on my heart
01:07:10 with your new mistress.
01:07:13 If your heart beats faster, spurn me.
01:07:21 Tell me how she makes love.
01:07:27 She's a noble lady,
01:07:29 incredibly cold and prudish.
01:07:32 Repelled by the base acts of love.
01:07:37 She finally gave in to me
01:07:41 as if she despised herself,
01:07:44 but her love was too strong...
01:07:49 She doesn't open her legs,
01:07:52 she clenches them.
01:07:55 Do you like that?
01:07:56 I almost force her.
01:07:58 She closes her eyes,
01:08:02 And she weeps, it is very impressive.
01:08:07 How does she come?
01:08:10 That's not the point.
01:08:15 Her surrender,
01:08:21 It flatters your tiny pride.
01:08:28 But that's not love...
01:08:34 Most women
01:08:37 to give oneself to a man.
01:08:43 What it is to hold
01:08:54 What do you find
01:08:59 You, above all!
01:09:03 I don't understand...
01:09:06 If at least you'd replaced me with
01:09:09 someone a hundred times
01:09:14 You'd be desperately jealous.
01:09:17 Perhaps, but at least not humiliated.
01:09:30 Does her title excite you?
01:09:34 Be quiet!
01:09:37 If you knew her, you'd keep quiet!
01:10:12 It's light.
01:10:16 My young friend,
01:10:19 I spent many a sleepless
01:10:24 Fireside chats are the ballroom
01:10:28 And now I know everything about the
01:10:36 You gave me
01:10:40 You trusted me
01:10:45 My own family
01:10:48 or what I could become.
01:10:54 Thank you.
01:10:59 You're my real mother.
01:11:04 I love you like a son...
01:11:09 I love Hermangarde more than anything.
01:11:11 I know! My granddaughter
01:11:15 I'm glad I didn't
01:11:18 or Hermangarde's!
01:11:46 He had the nerve to tell her
01:11:50 he reveled in it!
01:11:53 My dear, as I always said,
01:11:55 of over-provocative novels
01:12:00 on female common sense!
01:12:41 Here's the text chosen
01:12:44 from the gospel according to St Matthew
01:12:46 "Some Pharisees came to
01:12:48 "May a man divorce his wife
01:12:50 "He answered
01:12:52 "Have you not read, that the Creator
01:12:55 "made them male and female and said,
01:12:56 "A man leaves his father and mother,
01:12:59 "to be united to his wife
01:13:03 "They are no longer two, but one flesh.
01:13:06 "What God has united,
01:13:09 "They objected
01:13:11 "Why did Moses say a man may divorce
01:13:13 "He said to them
01:13:14 "Your stubbornness is why Moses
01:13:19 "But in the beginning it was not so.
01:13:20 "A man may only divorce his wife
01:13:24 "If he marries another, it is adultery.
01:13:26 "Some disciples said
01:13:30 "it is best not to marry.
01:13:34 "He said to them
01:13:35 "Only those God
01:13:39 "Some men are born eunuchs
01:13:42 "Others were made so by men.
01:13:44 "Others became eunuchs
01:13:47 "Let those accept it who can."
01:13:51 "Lmitate me, as I imitate Christ.
01:13:54 "But know that Christ
01:13:59 "as a husband is the head of his wife,
01:14:02 "Any man who prays
01:14:06 "brings shame upon his head.
01:14:08 "Any woman who prays
01:14:10 "brings shame on her head,
01:14:14 "A woman who is unveiled,
01:14:16 "If it is shameful for her to be shorn,
01:14:20 "she should wear a veil.
01:14:21 "A man must not cover his head,
01:14:23 "for he is the image and glory of God,
01:14:26 "but woman is the glory of man.
01:14:31 "Man did not come from woman,
01:14:35 but woman from man.
01:14:37 "Man was not created for woman,
01:14:40 but woman for man.
01:14:44 "A woman must have
01:14:47 "a sign of authority on her head,
01:14:52 "out of regard for the angels."
01:14:55 Epistle of St Paul to the Corinthians.
01:15:59 How the sea rises!
01:16:01 The spring tide.
01:16:05 If they are too tardy,
01:16:08 You're still not concerned?
01:16:11 I hope they don't catch cold.
01:16:15 Did you do as I did, Marquise?
01:16:19 I see a letter in your hands.
01:16:21 To whom would I write, my dear?
01:16:23 To Viscount de Prony, like you,
01:16:27 This letter you see
01:16:31 It's for M. De Marigny,
01:16:37 - Is it from Paris?
01:16:40 You know this handwriting?
01:16:50 Marquise, what an awful scribble!
01:16:54 I know no one who writes like that.
01:16:59 It's a woman's handwriting.
01:17:01 A washerwoman's!
01:17:03 Washerwomen don't
01:17:06 or possess seals like this one. Look!
01:17:12 My God!
01:17:17 Could it be that his old mistress,
01:17:22 has changed her mind?
01:17:24 It would seem likely!
01:17:25 She lay low for four months
01:17:29 Quite astute of her.
01:17:31 She thinks by now the joy of
01:17:37 A big mistake!
01:17:41 she's wasting her time.
01:17:42 Coming from you,
01:17:46 Yes, be reassured.
01:17:48 Let's both be reassured!
01:17:54 There they are.
01:17:59 We were caught by the tide.
01:18:02 You're soaked! Get warm by the fire.
01:18:05 If you fall ill, where will we be then!
01:18:09 I'm not cold.
01:18:12 now I'm the wife of a man
01:18:15 M. De Marigny, I was given a letter
01:18:21 Thank you.
01:19:18 Why did you come here?
01:19:22 Because it pleased me to.
01:19:24 Isn't the open air
01:19:29 I came here because I was bored
01:19:33 with not seeing you,
01:19:36 because you didn't reply to my letters.
01:19:42 Why did you pursue me here?
01:19:45 If I feel like living on these shores,
01:19:49 spending my days on this cliff...
01:19:52 Doesn't it all belong to me
01:19:55 What are you afraid of?
01:19:59 Deep down you're unsure of yourself.
01:20:05 I like this place,
01:20:11 If I'm not wanted, go away!
01:20:15 As for me,
01:20:24 It could be said that I came here
01:20:26 to plead for a glance
01:20:30 who... banished me...
01:20:43 If I betrayed the love of my life,
01:20:47 So would you...
01:20:50 If you refuse to put your arms
01:20:55 you'd better kill me,
01:20:59 At least then I'd feel no more pain.
01:21:02 What are you waiting for?
01:21:04 We're alone up here!
01:21:07 See, there's no one!
01:21:09 Take up your gun!
01:21:15 You see...
01:21:18 If anyone hears, you missed a seagull.
01:21:24 If I fall into the sea,
01:21:26 you'll be sure to be faithful. Shoot!
01:21:33 You're mad!
01:22:31 Not now!
01:22:36 She's asleep.
01:22:45 Be good.
01:22:49 One kiss! One kiss first!
01:22:55 A real one!
01:23:15 Weren't you to take the dogs out?
01:23:34 Did Ryno wake you, Grandmother?
01:23:36 No, my child, your husband
01:23:44 Are you really leaving us?
01:23:46 Winter is coming.
01:23:53 I love this place, I'm happy here.
01:23:55 But I love you more than any place.
01:23:59 If I ask him, Ryno will return to Paris.
01:24:02 Make sure you don't!
01:24:03 You don't yet know, my sweet,
01:24:08 Ryno idolizes you.
01:24:10 Here, what would he love, if not you?
01:24:14 there are so many distractions,
01:24:18 every distraction is a mortal enemy.
01:24:22 You're right, grandmother.
01:24:24 No woman owns the key
01:24:29 But if you miss us, send word,
01:24:31 Have a good trip.
01:24:39 There's no handsomer couple
01:25:38 Ryno!
01:25:41 Not so fast!
01:26:07 I didn't realize you weren't following.
01:26:25 I'm so silly.
01:26:40 - Well, doctor?
01:26:57 As of now, I forbid you
01:27:05 Do you realize, when I think of it,
01:27:20 It's my son!
01:28:19 Madame may catch cold.
01:28:22 It is unwise in your state.
01:28:24 It's lovely weather. I need fresh air.
01:28:46 Keep covered,
01:28:50 I'm a grown woman!
01:28:57 Why, it's the lady of the manor,
01:29:06 Old Griffon!
01:29:10 Who's that woman sitting
01:29:14 You don't know her?
01:29:20 Often, she comes fishing with us.
01:31:13 You're even handsomer
01:31:17 And now we're reunited.
01:31:20 Be quiet!
01:32:14 Talk, if you want...
01:32:22 It's only too true that I came.
01:32:33 As God is my witness,
01:32:36 you're the cause of more kisses,
01:32:41 of more tenderness for Hermangarde
01:32:44 if you hadn't existed!
01:32:51 I kissed her like a drowning man
01:32:55 clings to a floating log.
01:33:14 They say that in battle,
01:33:18 when thoroughbred horses
01:33:27 a mysterious attraction for pain
01:33:30 urges them forward to
01:33:34 impale themselves right to the heart.
01:33:42 It's the same with you,
01:33:46 since the day I saw you again.
01:35:30 Is that my horse?
01:35:32 It's just the wind. Don't leave me.
01:36:05 It's the wind.
01:36:10 It can't be her!
01:36:46 You see, there's no one!
01:36:49 Come back inside.
01:41:03 Rebuke me.
01:41:14 Tell me what you're thinking.
01:41:23 You're worrying for nothing.
01:41:48 The worst is this silence.
01:42:07 In fact, no.
01:42:14 You knew she died?
01:42:24 Is she happier where she is now?
01:42:32 You mean I kill everyone close to me.
01:42:36 I didn't say that.
01:42:50 There's something terrible in my fate!
01:42:54 I always knew it.
01:43:15 After a year and a half of uncertainty,
01:43:20 received the proof of something
01:43:29 as one calculates an eclipse.
01:43:32 In fact, it is also an eclipse.
01:43:36 That paragon of husbands,
01:43:38 Monsieur de Marigny?
01:43:39 ...has done like the dog in the Bible.
01:43:42 you know where?
01:43:44 What you're saying is most unsavory!
01:43:46 Saying isn't doing!
01:43:48 Let's see... It's ten o'clock exactly.
01:43:52 Where do you think
01:43:57 That genius of conjugal love!
01:44:01 My God!
01:44:03 So my poor friend the Marquise de Flers
01:44:08 He's at 46 rue des Carmes,
01:44:12 at Senora Vellini's.
01:44:14 Are you sure of this?
01:44:16 He was at the Opera last night
01:44:19 He left around the same time I did...
01:44:23 I saw him get into his carriage
01:44:26 it was after Act Two.
01:44:28 He left Madame de Marigny in her box,
01:44:31 with Madame de Spaur
01:44:35 What proves he went to Rue de Carmes?
01:44:38 I saw him enter her house myself!
01:44:41 His carriage parked
01:44:45 testified to the fact to
01:44:51 Monsieur de Marigny
01:44:57 What I like about him is that,
01:45:02 he'll revel in being unpopular.
01:45:06 I know of no man who defies
01:45:10 Just like a man!
01:45:12 And yet... You needn't believe me,
01:45:17 but I swear he was madly in love
01:45:21 I witnessed that love,
01:45:25 That's just as well, Countess.
01:45:28 That way, at least someone
01:45:30 For he probably no longer does.
