00:01:30Monsieur?
00:01:32Monsieur?
00:01:33Monsieur is composing.
00:01:37Oh, composing.
00:01:40You will wait.
00:01:41Bengali.
00:01:53Bengali.
00:02:09Oh, I'm sorry I've disturbed you.
00:02:18I'm early.
00:02:19On the contrary.
00:02:21You are just in time.
00:02:22Oh, I could hardly wait for this evening.
00:02:29My days are so empty.
00:02:33Yeah, Liebchen, I know just how you feel.
00:02:36I am empty, too.
00:02:38Oh, how can you be?
00:02:40You have so many other pupils.
00:02:43Yeah, naturally.
00:02:45But no one who responds like you.
00:02:51Now, what did we do last?
00:02:54Don't you remember?
00:02:56I am speaking about music.
00:03:01Ah, here?
00:03:03Yeah.
00:03:05There.
00:03:06Now, remember?
00:03:08Leggero e robato.
00:03:10Leggero e robato.
00:03:11Leggero e robato.
00:03:13Come on, come on.
00:03:31Ah, ah, we're off of the hunt while you hear something's blowing.
00:03:38Ah, ah, ah, ah, everyone's got such fun for the traveling folks' going.
00:03:51Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:03:55Oh, the joy for each girl and boy.
00:04:00Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:04:06Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:04:08Here we go.
00:04:38Here we go.
00:05:09Because there is a little something I must tell you.
00:05:13Oh, I have something to tell you.
00:05:15I've left my husband.
00:05:18Huh?
00:05:19I've left him for good.
00:05:26And, uh, how much has he left you?
00:05:31Huh?
00:05:32Do you think I'd take money from such a brute?
00:05:35I threw it in his face.
00:05:38He gave you money?
00:05:40And you threw it back at him?
00:05:43But he...
00:05:44He bit me on the wrist and...
00:05:47And kicked me.
00:05:49Oh.
00:05:50You have no idea what I've been through.
00:05:53And you left your husband without a settlement?
00:05:58I've come to you just as I am.
00:06:07With no settlement at all?
00:06:10Nothing?
00:06:11Nothing.
00:06:13Nothing.
00:06:16Except me.
00:06:17Bengali, you, you don't want me, but, but you promised, but my voice, it's yours now,
00:06:47to make us both famous, but you told me so often, but I've no other place to go, there's only
00:07:08you, lady, I worship you, Bengali, I'd even die for you.
00:07:18Don't look at me like that, Bengali, don't look at me like that.
00:07:46Take your eyes off me, Bengali, take your eyes off me, don't look at me like that.
00:08:05Madam Honorine.
00:08:10What about that?
00:08:12They have found her in the river.
00:08:19Oh, that is not possible.
00:08:21In this weather.
00:08:22But it is true, Maestro.
00:08:23I just saw her body in the morgue.
00:08:24In the morgue?
00:08:25Yes, Maestro.
00:08:26Ah.
00:08:27That is a pity.
00:08:28She is a pity.
00:08:29She was very happy.
00:08:30In the, in the river.
00:08:31In the river.
00:08:32In the river.
00:08:33Oh, that is not possible.
00:08:34In this weather.
00:08:35But it is true, Maestro.
00:08:37I just saw her body in the morgue.
00:08:40In the river.
00:08:41In the river.
00:08:42In the river.
00:08:43In the river.
00:08:44In the river.
00:08:45In the morgue.
00:08:46Yes, Maestro.
00:08:47Ah.
00:08:48That is a pity.
00:08:53She was very, very sweet.
00:08:54Mmm.
00:08:55But a bad businesswoman.
00:08:56Maestro.
00:08:57I am worried about something.
00:09:00What do you mean?
00:09:01Do you mind if I tell you?
00:09:02No.
00:09:03No.
00:09:04No.
00:09:05No.
00:09:06No.
00:09:07No.

00:09:22No.
00:09:23No.
00:09:24No what?
00:09:25No.
00:09:26How?
00:09:27We going to pay the rent?
00:09:31You promised by noon.
00:09:32Yes.
00:09:33Noon is a long way off.
00:09:36In meantime, my dear gecko.
00:09:38I am very hungry.
00:09:40I presume you are, too.
00:09:43Get me my coat.
00:09:46Ah.
00:09:47We will go visiting.
00:09:50Visiting.
00:09:56Maestro, I don't know what we're going to do.
00:10:00We have borrowed from everyone we know.
00:10:03We cannot go back to Barnard's.
00:10:05He will throw us out.
00:10:07Oh, possibly, possibly.
00:10:10But there are other people.
00:10:15Our English friends.
00:10:17They have not enjoyed the fragrance of our society for a week.
00:10:23We will go there.
00:10:25What maestro, the last time we were there?
00:10:28Monsieur Taffy and Monsieur Delaire, anything?
00:10:30The little Billy.
00:10:32He's so kind.
00:10:33Now listen.
00:10:34Yes.
00:10:35You know, the trouble with you is you have not sufficient optimism.
00:10:42Little things discourage you.
00:10:44Remember, in the bright lexicon of youth, there is no such word as fail.
00:10:52The little Billy.
00:10:55Avanti, signi o' riavanti.
00:10:57Avanti, signi o' riavanti.
00:10:59Avanti, signi o' riavanti.
00:11:02Amodo, trimanti.
00:11:05Go el pen, ti va.
00:11:07Petita, manciate.
00:11:10Aspetti un momento chi lo sa.
00:11:15Manciate.
00:11:16Aspecta un momento, donde estoy dormido.
00:11:46These Englanders got dirty very quickly.
00:12:16Thank you, maestro.
00:12:21Don't mention it.
00:12:22Got it.
00:12:23Taffy.
00:12:24Who's that?
00:12:25It sounds like Sven Dali.
00:12:29Here, Taffy.
00:12:31Hide my purse before his music melts my scotch heart.
00:12:35I didn't want to look at you.
00:12:39I didn't want to look at you.
00:12:42I didn't want to look at you.
00:12:45I didn't want to lie to him, but if I have any money on me, I cannot resist him.
00:13:15Eh, stop it, man.
00:13:16I'm shivering here.
00:13:17Well, my patriotic friend, are you up yet?
00:13:22Eh, I'm up.
00:13:23And I want to be down, you Polish scavenger.
00:13:25Oh, is it my fault that you Englanders have to take a bath every morning?
00:13:30How long is it since you took one?
00:13:31Huh?
00:13:32Not since I tripped and fell in the sewer.
00:13:37Ah!
00:13:38Ah!
00:13:39Ah!
00:13:40Ah!
00:13:41Ah!
00:13:42Ah!
00:13:43Ah!
00:13:44Ah!
00:13:45Ah!
00:13:46He's my baby.
00:13:47Ah!
00:13:48Ah!
00:13:49Ah!
00:13:50Ah!
00:13:52Ah!
00:13:53Ah!
00:13:54Now that you're in the tub, you'd better make a good job of it.
00:14:10It's good for him.
00:14:13Stay there now.
00:14:15We'll see that he can't get out.
00:14:17Hey, and don't walk around here in the nude.
00:14:20Sometimes we have respectable callers.
00:14:23It's good for him.
00:14:24God-straf England.
00:14:36Hey, there, Vinnie.
00:14:38Vinnie, are you here?
00:14:39The news, boy.
00:14:40The wonder of the world.
00:14:42Svengali's taking a bath.
00:14:45Svengali's taking a bath.
00:14:46He did not do it because he wanted to do it.
00:14:49He did it because we pushed him in.
00:14:50He can't get out.
00:14:51We have his clothes.
00:14:52I do.
00:14:55I got an idea.
00:14:56Go over to Carroll School, bring the whole crowd over to see him.
00:14:59It's too good to miss.
00:15:00Boy, God, that's a good idea.
00:15:01We'll do it.
00:15:02Come, honey.
00:15:03Good morning.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:05Bye.
00:15:05Goodbye.
00:15:06Come on.
00:15:07Okay.
00:15:12Bye.
00:15:14Bye.
00:15:15Bye.
00:15:16Bye.
00:15:17Bye.
00:15:20Bye.
00:15:21Bye.
00:15:22Bye.
00:15:22Bye.
00:15:26Bye.
00:15:28Bye.
00:15:29Bye.
00:15:30It is Mr. Toffy's Sunday suit.
00:15:47Yeah, but it is very becoming on weekdays.
00:15:50Mr. Toffy!
00:15:52My dear Gecko, I have a pleasant surprise for you.
00:15:56Mr. Toffy is a very large-hearted man.
00:15:59Yeah, he has been unusually generous.
00:16:02Look, ha!
00:16:04The rent for Madame Vinar, breakfast, dinner, supper, and the rest, we will spend foolishly.
00:16:17Remember what I told you, Gecko.
00:16:20In the bright lexicon of youth, there is no such word as...
00:16:25Nails below!
00:16:28Milk below.
00:16:31You know, it would be a pity to let such hospitable friends starve.
00:16:38Get the milk picture, Gecko.
00:16:40But we must hurry!
00:16:41May I come in?
00:16:53Are you Mr. Toffy?
00:17:08No.
00:17:09No.
00:17:10The lead, then.
00:17:11No.
00:17:12Who are you?
00:17:13Who are you?
00:17:14Me?
00:17:15I'm a model.
00:17:16I work for Durian upstairs.
00:17:17He sent me down for Mr. Toffy and the lead to look at.
00:17:20A model, huh?
00:17:21For a moment, I thought you were a gendarme.
00:17:25Oh, I posing these.
00:17:26Ha-ha-ya.
00:17:27Gecko, wait outside.
00:17:28What, maestro?
00:17:29So we will not miss our friends.
00:17:30But...
00:17:31You need a model?
00:17:32All the artists say I have a very classic figure.
00:17:33Durian, mallow.
00:17:34My dear young lady, I don't doubt it.
00:17:35As far as I can see.
00:17:36Shall I show you?
00:17:37Well, uh...
00:17:38Oh, I'd be glad, too.
00:17:39Perhaps you can use me sometime.
00:17:40Well, uh...
00:17:41That's what I had in mind.
00:17:42Well, where shall I change?
00:17:43Oh, in there?
00:17:44Well, that is as good a place as any.
00:17:45Very well.
00:17:46I'll be right up.
00:17:47I'll be right up.
00:17:48I'll be right up.
00:17:49I'll be right up.
00:17:50I'll be right up.
00:17:51I'll be right up.
00:17:52I'll be right up.
00:17:53You need a model?
00:17:54All the artists say I have a very classic figure.
00:17:56Durian, mallow.
00:17:57My dear young lady, I don't doubt it.
00:17:59As far as I can see.
00:18:00Shall I show you?
00:18:01Well, uh...
00:18:02Oh, I'd be glad to.
00:18:03Perhaps you can use me sometime.
00:18:05Very well.
00:18:06I'll be right up.
00:18:07I can hardly wait.
00:18:29They are coming, maestro.
00:18:30Who?
00:18:31The lair and the taffy.
00:18:33There across the street.
00:18:35You always arrive just in time.
00:18:37But there is a mob coming here that'll make a fool of you.
00:18:41Just as I am about to enjoy myself artistically, there is that face.
00:18:48Oh, maestro, come, please.
00:18:49Oh, be come.
00:18:50Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice and so?
00:18:51Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice and so?
00:18:52Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice and so?
00:18:57Sweet Alice with hair so dry.
00:19:03The taffy.
00:19:04Fabulous.
00:19:05People with voices like that should not sing.
00:19:06I can't believe a fool that shows you no nothing.
00:19:07The roof of her mouth must be like the dome of a cathedral to push out sounds like that.
00:19:10Come, come, maestro.
00:19:11I can't believe a fool.
00:19:12I can't believe a fool that shows you no nothing.
00:19:13The roof of her mouth must be like the dome of a cathedral to push out sounds like that.
00:19:27Come, come, maestro.
00:19:28The volume...
00:19:29Come, come, maestro.

00:19:39But the tone is terrible!

00:24:23I know.
00:24:25I don't believe you've touched it for a week.
00:24:27No, and I don't intend to until you give me your answer.
00:24:29Do you mean to tell me you'd leave me out there on that cold canvas unfinished forever?
00:24:33Forever and ever until you give me your answer.
00:24:41Well, I suppose I must answer sometime.
00:24:47In the interest of art.
00:24:56True me.
00:24:57Oh, but I saw it.
00:24:59You do love me.
00:25:01You do mean it.
00:25:06Don't you know?
00:25:08Haven't I been telling you for a week?
00:25:14Bonsoir, mes amis!
00:25:15Is anybody here?
00:25:18Everybody's hope.
00:25:21Ah.
00:25:24There seems to be the odor of baking in the air.
00:25:28Good?
00:25:44Delicious.
00:25:46Good as mother makes.
00:25:47Oh, I can't be as good as all that.
00:25:49Oh, yes you are.
00:25:52You're wonderful.
00:25:53You're the sweetest thing I've ever known.
00:25:59When we're married, I want to take you to England, to my mother.
00:26:04She'll be proud of you, Truby.
00:26:05Proud of you as I am.
00:26:06Tell me, what things are in like?
00:26:19Oh, England's beautiful.
00:26:22Greenfields and hedgerows and hollyhocks, primroses.
00:26:28And fog, and pneumonia, and shopkeepers, and flat feet, and boiled beef and cabbage.
00:26:40Trilby in England would be like a butterfly in mutton soups.
00:26:46Oh, God.
00:26:46Billy.
00:26:51Tarts for supper.
00:26:53Yes, and you won't get any if you don't come and play for them.
00:26:56I don't feel like playing the piano.
00:26:59No, no, no.
00:27:00I don't feel like playing it now.
00:27:02I want to talk to you seriously.
00:27:05Yeah, I want to talk to you about your voice.
00:27:07Oh, that's a good one.
00:27:09While you tell me next, I want to...
00:27:11Ah, you don't understand.
00:27:12I look for you everywhere today.
00:27:15I want a durian, mayo.
00:27:16There is no Trilby.
00:27:18Where you been, huh?
00:27:19Oh, I had one of my funny headaches and didn't work all day.
00:27:22Headache?
00:27:24Yes, but don't tell anyone.
00:27:25They'd send me home.
00:27:26Ah, poor Libsian.
00:27:28Oh, it's nothing.
00:27:29It'll go away like it always does.
00:27:32Possibly.
00:27:32I can take it away for you right now.
00:27:35Oh.
00:27:35I mean it.
00:27:36It is so easy.
00:27:40Sit down.
00:27:41I'll show you.
00:27:45Can you really take the pain away?
00:27:47Yeah, now.
00:27:48Now, you sit there quietly and do just as I tell you, huh?
00:27:53Now, you look.
00:27:54You look at pretty Svengali.
00:27:57Looking at you is a funny way to cure my headache, Svengali.
00:28:01Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:28:05Now, don't be afraid.
00:28:08Look me right in the eyes, Liefche.
00:28:12Right in the eye.
00:28:13If you can really cure my head.
00:28:15You shall see nothing, hear nothing, dream of nothing.
00:28:45But Svengali.
00:28:49Svengali.
00:28:50Svengali.
00:28:52Svengali.
00:28:54Svengali.
00:28:56Svengali.
00:28:59Svengali.
00:29:01Svengali.
00:29:02Svengali.
00:29:03Svengali.
00:29:07That is right, Leech.
00:29:15Now sleep.
00:29:21Sleep.
00:29:24Sleep.
00:29:37Open your mouth, Liebschen.
00:29:57Why?
00:30:01I was right.
00:30:04A soundboard like an angel.
00:30:08The roof of her mouth is like the dome of the Pantheon.
00:30:16Shh.
00:30:28He had it, Liebschen.
00:30:31He go away.
00:30:32What's happening there?
00:30:37What's the matter, Trilby?
00:30:46What have you done to her?
00:30:49Trilby!
00:30:50Trilby!
00:30:51Trilby!
00:30:52Trilby!
00:30:55Wake her up!
00:30:58Are you asleep, Trilby?
00:31:00Trilby!
00:31:01No.
00:31:02Then open your eyes and say you're all right.
00:31:05Can you open your eyes, Trilby?
00:31:09Trilby!
00:31:10Trilby!
00:31:13No.
00:31:14She's hypnotized her.
00:31:15Bring her out of it at once!
00:31:16At once, do you hear me?
00:31:17Can you hear me?
00:31:19Can you hear me, Trilby?
00:31:21Yes.
00:31:24Then open your eyes.
00:31:26Why, what's happened?
00:31:28Are you all right?
00:31:29Why, yes.
00:31:30My headache's gone.
00:31:32How on earth did you do it?
00:31:34How on earth did you do it?
00:31:37I told you!
00:31:38It is so easy!
00:31:39Oh!
00:31:48What's the matter?
00:31:53Your headache is here in my heart.
00:31:55Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:56Ah, there's nothing.
00:32:00I will keep it as a souvenir.
00:32:02You're with the pain in your heart.
00:32:03Come on!
00:32:04Come on!
00:32:05Gentlemen, no violence.
00:32:07No violence.
00:32:11And no dinner.
00:32:15What'd he do?
00:32:16He hypnotized you.
00:32:17Hey, and don't you ever let him do it again.
00:32:19Those fellas can make you do anything and say anything you want.
00:32:22Lie, steal, anything.
00:32:23And then they make you kill yourself when they're done with you.
00:32:25Hey, they do that.
00:32:26But he took my pain away.
00:32:27I'd rather have the pain than have it cured like that.
00:32:33Trilvy, don't forget what I told you about the headaches.
00:32:40Gentlemen, it might be as well to remember.
00:32:47There are more things in heaven and earth than I dreamt of in your philosophy.
00:32:56There are more things in heaven and earth than I dreamt of in your life.
00:33:02I can't believe this.
00:33:04I can't believe this.
00:33:06I'm afraid of being here so far.
00:33:08I'm afraid of being here so far.
00:33:10I'll just go away from and then.
00:33:12You'll be there.
00:33:12I can not believe this.
00:33:13I can believe this.
00:33:14I can believe this.
00:33:15I can't believe it.
00:35:17Come in, my dear.
00:36:13I'm sorry to trouble you.
00:36:18I shouldn't have come at this hour.
00:36:21Oh, it is no trouble at all.
00:36:28It is never too late to trouble, Svengali.
00:36:30I thought I thought I had to come.
00:36:39But I...
00:36:40I think...
00:36:49I think I'd better go now.
00:36:55Without telling me what is troubling you?
00:37:07Without telling me what is troubling you?
00:37:09Oh, it's nothing.
00:37:10Oh, it's nothing.
00:37:11Oh, it's nothing.
00:37:12Really?
00:37:13Nothing at all.
00:37:15Except...
00:37:17Except?
00:37:18Except...
00:37:19Did it come back?
00:37:25The headache?
00:37:26Yes.
00:37:27I woke up with it.
00:37:31And you thought I could help you.
00:37:32And you thought I could help you, huh?
00:37:36Yes.
00:37:37That's why I came here.
00:37:39Yeah, yeah.
00:37:40Svengali told you...
00:37:43whenever you were in pain...
00:37:45to come to him...
00:37:47and he would take it away from you.
00:37:52My dear child, it's the most natural thing in the world.
00:37:56Come in, my dear child.
00:37:58It's cold out here.
00:37:59Come.
00:38:00Don't be frightened.
00:38:01Ha.
00:38:02Sit down.
00:38:03Here.
00:38:04Are you comfortable?
00:38:05Yes.
00:38:06Yes.
00:38:07Yes.
00:38:08Yes.
00:38:09Yes.
00:38:10Yes.
00:38:11Yes.
00:38:12Yes.
00:38:13Yes.
00:38:14Yes.
00:38:15Yes.
00:38:16Yes.
00:38:17Yes.
00:38:18Yes.
00:38:19Yes.
00:38:20Yes.
00:38:22Yes.
00:38:23Yes.
00:38:24Yes.
00:38:25Yes.
00:38:26Yes.
00:38:27Yes.
00:38:28Yes.
00:38:29Yes.
00:38:30Yes.
00:38:31Yes.
00:38:32Yes.
00:38:33Yes.
00:38:34Yes.
00:38:35Yes.
00:38:36Yes.
00:38:37Oh, poor Clyde.
00:38:38Oh, your nerves are jumping like math.
00:38:41Yes.
00:38:42Yes.
00:38:43But...
00:38:44Your skin.
00:38:45Yes.
00:38:46Yes.
00:38:47Oh, it's hot like fire.
00:38:50Poor Leech.
00:38:53Oh, look at me.
00:38:56Come.
00:38:57Come.
00:38:58Look me in the eyes, Liebschen.
00:39:16No. No.
00:39:19Please.
00:39:20Take your eyes off me.
00:39:23Let me go. Let me go.
00:39:25But the pain, Liebschen.
00:39:27No, no. It's gone now.
00:39:57Truby.
00:40:13Truby.
00:40:17Truby.
00:41:17Oh, don't go, Liebchen.
00:41:26It's been so long since I've seen you.
00:41:28But I... I must, I...
00:41:30Ah?
00:41:32You've been crying.
00:41:36Poor Trillie.
00:41:38You know, perhaps I can cure a pain in the heart
00:41:42just as easily as one in the head.
00:41:46Ah.
00:41:47Nobody can cure all this pain.
00:41:50It's for someone, someone else, whom I've hurt.
00:41:54Ah, I see.
00:41:58Oh, come.
00:42:00Tell old Svengali all about it.
00:42:02Huh?
00:42:03Yeah.
00:42:04He'll understand.
00:42:06You know, when human beings are unhappy, there's always something to do about it.
00:42:14Come on, now.
00:42:15Tell me...
00:42:17Tell me all about it.
00:42:21Well, it's...
00:42:22It's Billy.
00:42:23Today...
00:42:24Today I froze at Corral School.
00:42:28And he saw me there.
00:42:30Before all those men.
00:42:32Oh, you won't understand.
00:42:33And I'm so ashamed.
00:42:36Ah, but I do understand.
00:42:40Yeah, Lee.
00:42:43Billy is not like the others.
00:42:46Ah, my poor Trillie.
00:42:48Do your eyes reflect the virtue that he sees in you?
00:42:55Look in your mirror.
00:42:58Do you think you should be on such a high pedestal?
00:43:02After all the other artists you have known?
00:43:11What do you mean?
00:43:14Does he, uh...
00:43:16Does he know about Durian?
00:43:20Durian?
00:43:22What is there to know about him?
00:43:26Only what all the rest of us know, my poor Trillie.
00:43:30Except the innocent little Billy.
00:43:34I won't listen to you any longer.
00:43:38How could I help being kind to a man who had been so kind to me?
00:43:41Oh, kindness is a virtue undeniably, but...
00:43:46Hmm, to be so very kind.
00:43:48I am good, I tell you.
00:43:49I'm not like those others.
00:43:50I'm not, I'm not.
00:43:51Ah, poor Trillie.
00:43:57Poor little Billy.
00:44:01Surely you are good.
00:44:03You are good like a little bird.
00:44:06Like a lark that must sing in the sunlight.
00:44:11But...
00:44:12Are you good enough to face little Billy's mother?
00:44:17As his wife?
00:44:19After...
00:44:24Durian, the sculptor.
00:44:28Mayo, the painter.
00:44:31La Marche.
00:44:35Come, come, Billy Lamb.
00:44:37There's nothing to worry about.
00:44:38No.
00:44:39We drop and Dorison will have Truby back in your arms within an hour.
00:44:43What are you standing there for, man?
00:44:45Get the washkey.
00:44:45I'll get the glasses myself.
00:45:15Now, here we are.
00:45:19Here you are.
00:45:19There you are.
00:45:20Now...
00:45:21What's the matter, laddie?
00:45:24What is it, Billy?
00:45:25Billy?
00:45:35She says she's not good enough for me.
00:45:37But I saw it a day as she really is.
00:45:43She's going away and never see me again.
00:45:47But, Billy, she tells you that she loves you.
00:45:50Never see me again.
00:45:55Never again.
00:45:59Or anybody else, she says.
00:46:02Stop her.
00:46:03Find her.
00:46:04Ruby.
00:46:04Billy.
00:46:05Billy, boy.
00:46:07Kill her, lad.
00:46:07Do you know Trilby, O'Farrill?
00:46:20Are these her clothes?
00:46:25We found them on the bank of the scene.
00:46:31Where is she?
00:46:33In the morgue.
00:46:35If they found her body by now...
00:46:37I'm afraid you will never find her, monsieur.
00:46:40The river is too high to drag.
00:46:48What is her name, madame?
00:46:49Trilby.
00:46:51Have you known her for a long time?
00:46:52Oh, for three years.
00:46:55Who is fine?
00:46:56Who is fine?
00:47:21Who are you?
00:47:53Maestro Svengaard, this is a marvellous change since we saw him live.
00:48:01It's been just five years.
00:48:03Wonderful.
00:48:04They say that his wife is a very beautiful woman.
00:48:07Didn't you say that she was a Polish woman that he picked up in Russia?
00:48:11Yeah, that's what I heard.
00:48:13Well, if she's as beautiful as they say she is, he must have hypnotized her into marrying him.
00:48:18I'm no interested in that.
00:48:19What I want to know is who's giving him his baths now?
00:48:24Probably she is.
00:48:25In self-defense.
00:48:27Come, laddie, we must get the tickets now.
00:48:29Get out of here.
00:48:38Standing room only.
00:48:39Oh, let me.
00:48:40No, Ed.
00:48:41Get him.
00:48:41That's enough to pay to see Svengaard in a dress suit.
00:48:43Ah, is Monsieur Bengali here?
00:48:56Not yet.
00:48:57Not yet?
00:48:58But tonight, it is the debut of Lars Bengali in Paris.
00:49:03Paris is not different than Berlin or Vienna or much...
00:49:06But it is almost time for the concert.
00:49:08And I have a very important message for Monsieur Bengali.
00:49:12You'll pardon me, please?
00:49:14Monsieur Bengali.
00:49:27I am speechless, madame.
00:49:29Every night you grow more beautiful.
00:49:33Thank you, Signor Bernali.
00:49:35Home Paris is waiting at your feet.
00:49:37But what are you waiting for?
00:49:38Oh, I burst with pride.
00:49:41Well, control yourself a moment.
00:49:43Just a moment.
00:49:44Carter!
00:49:49Now, why do you burst?
00:49:51Three illustrious gentlemen are waiting in the green room to interview Lars Bengali.
00:49:56Madame Svengali never gives interviews.
00:50:00How many times must I tell you?
00:50:01But it means another command performance in St. Petersburg.
00:50:07These three gentlemen are messengers from the court of Russia.
00:50:11It does not matter.
00:50:12Oh, I am desolated.
00:50:14Here, attached to this beautiful bouquet, is a present from the Tsar himself.
00:50:26Do you still refuse to allow madame to see these gentlemen?
00:50:29You refuse positively?
00:50:32Not the necklace.
00:50:34Only the interview.
00:50:36But, Monsieur Bengali!
00:50:38Monsieur Bengali!
00:50:39But...
00:50:40The animal!
00:50:42Porco!
00:50:43Mayale!
00:50:44Tassino!
00:50:45Baby, I'll fall your eye!
00:50:59Here is a little trifle I thought would be becoming.
00:51:20A trifle?
00:51:22Why, they're gorgeous!
00:51:24There is nothing too beautiful for La Svengali.
00:51:28You are sweet to me, Svengali.
00:51:43What are you staring at, you old fool?
00:51:47My, Hestri, I'm very sorry to disturb you, but you are late.
00:51:50The theater is already packed.
00:51:52Even the standing room is gone.
00:51:54That is as it should be.
00:51:55Go away.
00:51:56You have never looked more lovely.
00:52:11Never more adorable.
00:52:13I can't see a thing myself.
00:52:31I can't see a thing myself.
00:52:43I can't see a thing myself.
00:52:47He's so far away at Tennessee.
00:53:08Has he changed much?
00:53:09I can't even see a grease spot on him.
00:53:12Then he's changed much.
00:53:23I now have a chair in the aisle for Monsieur.
00:53:25My glasses, please.
00:53:28Merci beaucoup.
00:53:29Sorry to trouble you.
00:53:30No trouble at all.
00:53:31That's all, Howard.
00:53:48I can't see her face.
00:54:12Is she as beautiful as they think?
00:54:14I cannot see myself.
00:54:18I cannot see myself.
00:54:48I cannot see myself.
00:54:50I cannot see myself.
00:54:52I cannot see myself.
00:54:54Say, lad, did you forget the upper glasses?
00:55:07No, monsieur, I'm sorry.
00:55:08They are all rented like everything else tonight.
00:55:10Yes.
00:55:24Oh, my God.
00:55:54Oh, my God.
00:56:24Oh, my God.
00:56:53Oh, my God.
00:56:59We're here to see Monsieur Svengali.
00:57:02I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:57:04I have strict audace to admit nobody.
00:57:07Oh, but we're old and intimate friends of Monsieur.
00:57:10I'm sorry, nobody.
00:57:11No need to try and keep his feet clean.
00:57:24He hasn't been clean for five years.
00:57:26You know that.
00:57:27Oh, my God.
00:57:28Oh, my God.
00:57:29Oh, my God.
00:57:30We're going to deceive Bengali.
00:57:31It is very difficult to see Monsieur Svengali at any time.
00:57:33Gekko, tell me, is he still dodging the landlady?
00:57:36Monsieur Bengali is beyond such a thing, Mrs. Ramp.
00:57:39Mrs. Bengali.
00:57:39I've noticed you're not beyond getting yourself a belly.
00:57:42Oh, look at the nice opera coat he's done.
00:57:44Gentlemen, gentlemen, if you'll excuse me.
00:57:46I must go.
00:57:46I am in a hurry.
00:57:47Oh, certainly.
00:57:49Certainly.
00:57:49I must go.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:54Push here.
00:57:54Push it.
00:57:54Push it.
00:57:55Push it.
00:57:56Push it.
00:57:57Push it.
00:57:58Push it.
00:57:58Little beggar on horseback.
00:57:59Hey.
00:57:59Riding through his doom.
00:58:13Truby.
00:58:19It's Truby, shouldn't it?
00:58:37It is Truby, isn't it?
00:58:39It can't be.
00:58:46The pain again, maestro.
00:58:49Yeah.
00:58:57Kindly get far.
00:59:00All right.
00:59:04Tomorrow.
00:59:34But it is, I'm sure of it.
00:59:43Her voice.
00:59:45Thurby couldn't have sound like that.
00:59:49Why, it's Billy.
00:59:55Billy.
00:59:57Kathy and the Laird.
00:59:59Oh, it's so good to see you all again.
01:00:04I... I beg your pardon.
01:00:18I must have mistaken you for someone I knew.
01:00:21Don't make a scene here, Billy.
01:00:43Don't make a scene here.
01:01:13Oh, I seem to have been asleep for ages.
01:01:31Haven't I been good to you, Thurby?
01:01:34When you were ill, who... who gave you back your life?
01:01:41You did.
01:01:43I've done everything I could to repay you.
01:01:47Yeah.
01:01:48Except love me.
01:01:50And, oh, Liebchen, I do love you so much.
01:01:58Oh, please.
01:01:59Please.
01:02:05Bengali.
01:02:07I've tried, but I...
01:02:09Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:02:11But you know very well why you can't.
01:02:15It is the magnificent young Englander,
01:02:19the head of the Purity Brigade,
01:02:23Sir Galahad.
01:02:24Hmm.
01:02:27The stiff-necked little Billy.
01:02:31What is he, Liebchen?
01:02:33With his silly paints in one hand
01:02:36and his twiddling brushes
01:02:38of pig's bristles in the other.
01:02:42What does he amount to?
01:02:44Compared to Spengali.
01:02:46Oh, he paints his silly pictures
01:02:49and sends them to London
01:02:50where they hang up on the wall
01:02:52like dead soldiers on parade
01:02:56and the people pass in a long procession
01:03:00and yawn.
01:03:06Spengali will go to London himself
01:03:08where he will be all alone on the platform.
01:03:16And princesses
01:03:17and countesses
01:03:19and serene highnesses
01:03:22will fling him their jewels
01:03:24and applaud him
01:03:26and invite him to their palaces.
01:03:30And he will take you with him, Liebchen,
01:03:33and never look at them.
01:03:36Da, we could be so happy.
01:03:39But I...
01:03:40I don't like palaces.
01:03:42Da, we could be so happy.
01:03:46No.
01:03:47Not anything else
01:03:48that other women like.
01:03:51Except a little bit.
01:03:55Look at me in the eyes.
01:03:57Look at me in the eyes.
01:04:12Open your eyes.
01:04:31Oh, I do love you.
01:04:34Oh, close your eyes.
01:04:46Oh, don't say it.
01:04:48Eh?
01:04:53Eh?
01:04:55You are beautiful.
01:04:59My manufactured love.
01:05:02But it is only Spengali
01:05:06talking to himself again.
01:05:20Did you get tickets for the concert tonight?
01:05:23There won't be any concert tonight.
01:05:25Spengali and his company
01:05:26have canceled the engagement
01:05:27and gone away.
01:05:45And where are you going?
01:05:47After him.
01:05:48Spengali is not running away from you?
01:05:51Not from me, Taffy.
01:05:52But from the fear of the day
01:05:54when his spell over Truby
01:05:55will be broken.
01:05:57As it was for a moment last night.
01:05:59Eh?
01:06:00And what will you do
01:06:01when you catch up with him?
01:06:05Just wait till the day comes.
01:06:08I'll get her back
01:06:10if I have to follow them
01:06:12round the world.
01:06:13I'll get her back.
01:06:14I'll get her back.

01:06:26I'll get her back.
01:06:27I'll get her back.
01:06:28I'll get her back.
01:06:29I'll get her back.
01:06:30I'll get her back.
01:06:31I'll get her back.

01:06:37I'll get her back.
01:06:38I'll get her back.
01:06:39I'll get her back.
01:06:40I must go and make an explanation.
01:07:07Got him.

01:07:23Il cavallo della carrozza del signore e della signora Svengali è morto per i strada.

01:11:18But that spell you had tonight, it was the worst you ever had.
01:11:21And I am afraid that maybe...

01:11:27I'll join you later.
01:11:28Leave, Sheldon.
01:11:31Go with Gekko.
01:11:33Wait for me.
01:11:58I won't believe Gekko.
01:12:05This was my turn...
01:12:07I'll see the rest of your show I want to play.
01:12:11Let's go.
01:12:12I did not come here to fight.
01:12:42Do you expect me to sit down and talk quietly?
01:12:45I think it would be as well for all of us.
01:12:48I think you will agree with me.
01:12:51After I explain.
01:12:54Sit down, sit down.
01:12:57Have a drink.
01:13:00Some champagne will clear the atmosphere.
01:13:04Garçon!
01:13:07The major champagne.
01:13:09Je vous allez tout de suite.
01:13:10Now we can talk like old friends.
01:13:13What do you want?
01:13:15From the alarm.
01:13:17Nothing from you.
01:13:20What do you want?
01:13:21You, uh, you will not have to follow me after tonight.
01:13:37You, uh, probably would not want to.
01:13:43What do you mean?
01:13:44What are you driving at?
01:13:46Oh, nothing mysterious.
01:13:50Tonight,
01:13:53is Las Fengales' last concert.
01:13:56Do you mean you're taking Trilby back to Paris?
01:13:58Yes, my dear young friend.
01:14:02That is for her to decide.
01:14:08To Trilby.
01:14:11And her freedom.
01:14:14Surely you will drink to that.
01:14:16The next act has been brought from Europe
01:14:37at tremendous expense.
01:14:39He is probably alluding
01:14:42to that superb artist,
01:14:46Svengali.
01:14:47I, uh,
01:14:48I have an act now, you know.
01:14:51The queen of the kings.
01:14:53The toast of emperors.
01:14:56Assisted by the great maestro
01:14:59Svengali.
01:15:01You can hear with what delirious appreciation
01:15:09they look forward to my music.
01:15:13I, uh,
01:15:14I feel sure you would not wish me
01:15:16to keep them waiting.
01:15:19Excusez-moi.
01:15:20My young friend,
01:15:31remember what I once told you.
01:15:34There are more things
01:15:36in heaven and earth
01:15:38than I dreamt of
01:15:41in your philosophy.
01:15:48Auf Wiedersehen.
01:15:50Was there not a Liebchen?
01:16:18Are you all right?
01:16:21Why,
01:16:22yes.
01:16:26Except I feel...
01:16:28Ja, ja.
01:16:32Strangely.
01:16:36Listen,
01:16:37my dear.
01:16:39Tonight,
01:16:40I want you to watch me
01:16:43very closely.
01:16:46Do not take your eyes off mine,
01:16:50even for an instant.
01:16:54And remember,
01:16:56there is nothing in your mind,
01:17:01nothing in your heart,
01:17:03nothing in your soul,
01:17:10but Svengali.
01:17:15Svengali.
01:17:19Svengali.
01:17:20I want you to believe.
01:17:42...
01:19:30Let him go!
01:19:42Silby!
01:19:46Silby!
01:19:48It's Billy!
01:19:49I'm right here with you.
01:19:52Speak to me, darling.
01:19:58Oh, God.
01:20:01Grant me in death
01:20:04what you denied me in life.
01:20:10The woman I love.
01:20:22Bengali!
01:20:23Avanti, signore!
01:20:37I'm sorry.
01:20:38Ah!
01:20:38I'm...
