00:00The End
00:30Sir, the hospitals at Paris are pest houses.
00:35There's scarcely a doctor in the city who's not carrying death on his hands and instruments.
00:40Because of microbes, monsieur, your private menagerie of invisible beasts?
00:44Exactly.
00:45They breathe in filth.
00:46They may start from the gutter of Paris tonight and by tomorrow claim some mother from this very court.
00:52Stop!
00:53You should know better, monsieur.
00:55The Comtesse Gabrielle is her majesty's sister.
00:58I forbid any more.
01:00Louie!
01:21Louie!
01:21You didn't!
01:24They'll put you in prison.
01:28They'll put you in prison.
01:32One drop of this rabies virus on the slightest patch will kill a man.
01:37And I hold enough in my hand to wipe out a whole city.
01:40Ridiculous!
01:41To think that this could kill a man.

02:05He won't live.

02:11Keep quiet!
02:12What has that to do with you?
02:13Save him!
02:14Save him!
02:15Save him!
02:19If I failed, it would mean prison.
02:26Perhaps the guillotine.
02:29I won't have a baby.
02:39Doesn't he realize that?
02:40When I was your age, I had babies, but I didn't cry about it.
02:45Yes, and how many of them lived?
02:46The tribute that we render faster on this occasion is small indeed compared to the countless millions
02:58who will honor his memory in generations to come.
03:16I won't lie.
