00:00Marie, Marie, introduce me to your friend. May I introduce Monsieur Aristide de Mala, Aristide de Mala, Sarah Bernhardt.

00:21Thank you Monsieur Enchanted, I would love to dance.

01:00You've taken a vow of silence.

01:05It is a great responsibility dancing with Madame Bernhardt.

01:10Will you have asked me to dance later perhaps?

01:13You have enough handsome admirers.

01:15Oh, so you're handsome.

01:18Why are you trying to score off me Madame?

01:21Because...

01:23Because my soul is still on stage.

01:25Because I've had a wonderful, magnificent success.

01:28Because I know all my handsome, admiring friends backwards.

01:31Tonight I need to swim in uncharted seas for an hour or two.

01:35Am I supposed to feel flattered?

01:38You don't understand, do you?

01:40An attaché, is it?

01:42Croc coat, spats, little case, big head.

01:45What I wear as an attaché is as much a costume as the one you were wearing tonight.

01:49You mean, a real heart beats beneath that icy exterior?

01:53We all act upon occasion.

01:55You act?

01:57I've thought about it more than once.

01:59So that's why you are so determined to attract my attention by gnawing me.

02:04Have I succeeded?

02:08Good heavens, you can smile.

02:11Come and see me tomorrow afternoon.

02:14Levin Boulevard de Clichy, I'll tell you all about acting.
