00:00:00Oh
00:02:08Father?
00:02:09Your mother is dead, Emma.
00:02:18But you did not say it was beyond hope when you wrote to me.
00:02:28I had not the words.
00:02:29I brought you a rosary.
00:02:39Will they let me come home for the funeral?
00:02:47She was buried this morning under the plum tree.
00:02:55Will you bury me there, too, when I die?
00:03:10Will no one be permitted to mourn me?
00:03:15Emma Rua?
00:03:28There's so much agony.
00:03:33I can hardly bear the weight of it.
00:03:36You must surrender all passion.
00:03:39God will grant you strength, but the sacrifice is absolute.
00:03:47I don't.
00:03:48I don't.
00:03:49I don't.
00:03:51I don't.
00:04:03I don't.
00:04:04I don't.
00:04:04I don't.
00:04:08The death of that girl's mother opened a window in her soul.
00:04:36I found a most shocking piece of literature in her chemise drawer.
00:04:43I cannot dwell upon details, but it involved a gondolier.
00:04:48Are you not confident of her vacation, sister?
00:05:06Joy was discouraged.
00:05:11Misery was forbidden.
00:05:14They were trying to break me.
00:05:16Like a horse.
00:05:17The money I spent.
00:05:20You wanted me to be educated.
00:05:22I was afraid you might never come home.
00:05:25Now, Jesus would have made a very tiresome bridegroom.
00:05:43In Paris, petticoats of English lace are being worn this season.
00:05:49Shoulders are being powdered white.
00:05:54In Paris, women live for love.
00:05:58Men die for it.
00:06:01Oh, why is the world so far away?
00:06:06Father!
00:06:07Father!
00:06:08Father!
00:06:09Father!
00:06:10Father!
00:06:11Don't shout at me, Emma.
00:06:13I've done something to my leg.
00:06:14Go!
00:06:15Go!
00:06:16Go!
00:06:17I've done something to my leg.
00:06:18Go!
00:06:19Go!
00:06:20Are you the doctor?
00:06:21I've done something to my leg.
00:06:22Go!
00:06:23Go!
00:06:24Go!
00:06:25Go!
00:06:26Go!
00:06:27Go!
00:06:28Go!
00:06:29Go!
00:06:30Go!
00:06:31Go!
00:06:45Go!
00:06:47Yes, I am.
00:06:52I don't need a bloody doctor.
00:06:55I've never had the doctor yet.
00:06:57I've told you, get me Pierre over from Laluet.
00:07:00He's the finest cowman ever walked the earth.
00:07:03And if he can't fix it, you may as well get a bloody gun and shoot me.
00:07:09He's been drinking brandy.
00:07:11You have a fractured femur, sir.
00:07:13I also strongly suspect damage to the quadriceps femoris.
00:07:17What language do you call that?
00:07:19Latin.
00:07:20Latin.
00:07:21Latin.
00:07:22Latin.
00:07:23Latin.
00:07:24Latin.
00:07:25Latin.
00:07:31Latin.
00:07:32Latin.
00:07:32Latin.
00:07:33Latin.
00:07:42Oh!
00:07:45Oh!
00:07:47Oh!
00:08:02Emma, give this man a glass.
00:08:06I suppose much of the running of the farm will fall to you now.
00:08:14At least until your father's leg mends.
00:08:17Yes, I hope it mends quickly.
00:08:19I know a great deal about music and poetry,
00:08:21but almost nothing about manure or crop yields.
00:08:26Where were you educated?
00:08:28At the Ursuline convent in Rouen.
00:08:32I did my medical training in Rouen.
00:08:36Not Paris?
00:08:37No.
00:08:38No.
00:08:43Are you waiting for something, Dr Bovery?
00:08:48My whip.
00:08:49Your whip?
00:08:50Oh, it's fallen down behind the wheat.
00:08:52Oh!
00:09:01When will you come back?
00:09:02In three days' time.
00:09:06Tomorrow.
00:09:09Tomorrow.
00:09:25Charles!
00:09:26It's past eight o'clock.
00:09:28You must stow yourself.
00:09:29Mother.
00:09:30What brings you here?
00:09:33Madame Iver has taken delivery of a new gig.
00:09:36I rode with her as far as the crossroads.
00:09:39Now, I've been informed that a most superior family
00:09:43has taken that little chateau outside town.
00:09:46In the coffee business, apparently,
00:09:48and every single one of them a martyr to gastric guitar.
00:09:52You must call at once.
00:09:53Pay your compliments.
00:09:55I'm expected at the Rouault farm.
00:09:58Again?
00:10:00It's proved a more complex fracture than I thought.
00:10:04He's got a daughter, hasn't he?
00:10:07Yes, Mother.
00:10:08He has.
00:10:09I hope I don't have to remind you, Charles,
00:10:11that you're only very recently widowed.
00:10:14No, Mother, you don't.
00:10:17The way that thing sits there,
00:10:19it's like some terrible accusation.
00:10:22We should have put it in the coffin with her.
00:10:24It was barely brown about the edges then.
00:10:27Poor Eloise.
00:10:28Yes, well, it was all quite horribly unfortunate.
00:10:33However, I shall repair to the kitchen
00:10:36and refresh you a cravat.
00:10:38Please dismiss all notion of the Rouault farm.
00:10:42You need to attract a better class of invalid.
00:10:5041 days I've been stuck in this chair now.
00:10:54Not to mention poor Emma cloistered indoors,
00:10:57waiting on my poor carcass, hand, foot and finger.
00:11:00I can bear it, Father.
00:11:03I am deaf to your pleas, Rouault.
00:11:06I forbid you to even attempt to walk.
00:11:15Dr. Bovery!
00:11:19I thought you might like to take a jar of our honey.
00:11:23If you eat it from a spoon, you can taste the lavender.
00:11:31How much longer?
00:11:35At least another week.
00:11:37Doctor?
00:11:39Doctor!
00:11:42What say you to this, you rogue?
00:11:45Father!
00:11:46A pair of you would have had me in the knacker's yard.
00:11:51Do you give me a clean bill of health?
00:11:55Do you discharge me?
00:11:56Do you discharge me?
00:12:17Farmer Rouault gave me this.
00:12:18He led me to suppose the cash would follow.
00:12:21You can't afford to indulge in barter, Charles.
00:12:24What's this in your cold pocket?
00:12:26It's a jar of honey.
00:12:28I didn't put you through years of medical school to be palmed off with produce.
00:12:31I don't think it was in lieu of payment.
00:12:33It was more of a gift from Mademoiselle Rouault.
00:12:37Indeed.
00:12:40I've heard things about that family.
00:12:43And her.
00:12:45Nothing like as prosperous as they make out, for all she's been washed and buffed up by the Ursulines.
00:12:49There was a cousin of theirs had up in the county assizes.
00:12:54She came into it.
00:12:56At least your business with them is now concluded.
00:13:00For which small mercy I offer up thanks.
00:13:03But I fear it is not concluded, Mother.
00:13:05Out of deference to you, I feel I must ensure they settle that bill in cash.
00:13:10I shall go there in person.
00:13:1975.
00:13:33I thought you might see your way to favourable terms.
00:13:37Bearing in mind that I paid her prompt.
00:13:40My mother supervises my accounts.
00:13:44You lost your wife, didn't you?
00:13:47Consumption, yes.
00:13:50I've worn your shoes, friend.
00:13:52The day I buried my wife, I lay on the ground in the orchard.
00:13:57And I cried.
00:13:59Apples, plums, pears, a peach vine, fruit, fruit, fruit.
00:14:04As far as the eye could see.
00:14:06And my heart, like a piece of dead wood.
00:14:13How long did the feeling last?
00:14:16A fragment of agony always remains.
00:14:23Have you any appetite?
00:14:25I nearly starved to death when I was at my worst with it.
00:14:29All right.
00:14:31Everything I put in my mouth turned to soot.
00:14:38He generally managed to force something down his throat,
00:14:41as long as it was light and digestible.
00:14:43Like roast goose with ondive in a slice of strawberry tart.
00:14:46Did your heart break too?
00:14:50I think it did.
00:14:52I was younger then.
00:14:54Is it broken still?
00:14:56I don't quite know.
00:14:59But then I'm not a doctor.
00:15:02I have fallen into the habit of thinking that I have nothing left to feel.
00:15:14You were so young to have lost someone so dear.
00:15:18It must have drained you.
00:15:21I do feel empty.
00:15:27I won this for a composition when I was at the convent.
00:15:31What was it about?
00:15:32What was it about?
00:15:34The title was What is Passion?
00:15:37And I furnished a pious answer hinged upon the crucifixion.
00:15:44Did you ever win anything?
00:15:47There was never a prize I really wanted.
00:15:49Charles?
00:16:01Is that your Sunday shirt?
00:16:03No, it's a new one.
00:16:20No need to tell me what you've come for.
00:16:22I've seen the roses in your cheeks.
00:16:24Sir.
00:16:25You go and stand in that paddock over there.
00:16:28If the lass says yes, I'll throw all the parlour shutters open.
00:16:31Save no end of a performance.
00:16:49I'll pull out.
00:17:03I'll throw all the flowers apart.
00:17:07Do you ever run with the flowers?
00:17:11Yes.
00:17:13No!
00:17:14You'll be so delighted when you see the cake.
00:17:31The bottom tier's modelled on the temple at Jerusalem.
00:17:35It's covered in gold stars.
00:17:37It looks just like a picture in an illustrated paper.
00:17:41I wish your mother was here to see this day.
00:17:44That dress.
00:17:46Ivory netting and ribbons.
00:17:48The girl would get no further use from it.
00:17:51It's what she wanted.
00:17:52I never could deny her anything.
00:17:54I'd gather that.
00:18:09I'll do it. You'll make it worse.
00:18:11Are you happy, my love?
00:18:15How could I be otherwise?
00:18:18It's my wedding day.
00:18:19I'm not ready.
00:18:41I have to put a nightgown on.
00:18:47I think the last time that there was a fire in here was on my parents' wedding night.
00:19:06They're married on Christmas Eve.
00:19:21Don't you think that's romantic?
00:19:22It's this passion, Charles.
00:19:39It's this passion.
00:19:40It's this passion.
00:19:42I never knew.
00:19:46I never knew.
00:19:49I never knew.
00:19:49I never knew.
00:19:51Oh, my God.
00:20:21Is that the other bride's bouquet?
00:20:49Get rid of it.
00:20:51Did you love her, Charles?
00:21:00She loved me.
00:21:03I can see myself in your eyes.
00:21:30Can you see the feathers in your hair?
00:21:37There must be a hole in the pillow.
00:21:43Charles!
00:21:44I'm sorry.
00:21:49Mademoiselle Lacoutes of Carbuncle is in urgent need of lancing.
00:21:52But I miss you when you're gone.
00:21:55That's fairly easily remedied.
00:22:01I miss you when you're gone.
00:22:12A scholar is knee-deep in washing.
00:22:38Pellows lips, nightcaps, all manner of unmentionables.
00:22:47At least Eloise wasn't too proud to sort her own laundry.
00:22:51I don't expect Emma to do it herself.
00:22:53I worry that she isn't very robust.
00:22:58Well, what's she doing now?
00:23:01Sketching.
00:23:05She does it so well.
00:23:07I've had a drawing of Medusa framed and hung on the stairs.
00:23:10Fistfuls of candle stumps.
00:23:12Some of them quite three inches long.
00:23:14She's new to housekeeping.
00:23:16She doesn't really understand about economy.
00:23:19It's fortunate I thought to pack a small valise.
00:23:22I must have nodded off.
00:23:32I'm about to have my bath.
00:23:36It's ten o'clock.
00:23:41We go to bed at ten o'clock.
00:23:45Habits, Charles, are like promises and pie crusts.
00:23:52Made to be broken.
00:23:57Made to be broken.
00:24:03I will go downstairs until you have prepared yourself.
00:24:09I will go downstairs until you have prepared yourself.
00:24:21In the 19th century, I will go downstairs until you have a haunted house.
00:24:26Have a great day.
00:24:26Come down.
00:24:27Have a good day, o'clock.
00:24:28Have a great day.
00:24:29Have it all been here.
00:24:34Have a great day.
00:24:35I will say,
00:24:36We will be able to get this.
00:24:38It's the middle of the night
00:24:53I have awoken you among the apple trees
00:24:56Close to the house of your fathers
00:25:00Shatter your heart against every love but mine
00:25:05Love no one else
00:25:08For love is as passionate as death
00:25:11You've been filling your head with all species of nonsense
00:25:15No, I've been reading the Bible, Song of Solomon
00:25:17I learned it by heart when I was in the convent
00:25:19Sit down
00:25:20Oh, Emma
00:25:21My lover put his hand under the door
00:25:26His fingers were scented with oil and air
00:25:31I opened the door unto my lover
00:25:37I trembled at the perfume of him
00:25:41Emma, my mother's asleep in the second best bedroom
00:25:44Well, go back inside then
00:25:46Put on your cotton nightcap
00:25:48Roll over, go to sleep and dream of nothing
00:25:51You're getting overexcited
00:25:52Would you like me to mix you a tincture of aloe's?
00:25:53I want to be excited
00:25:55Don't you understand?
00:25:56You can't mix me up a potion to prevent it
00:25:58Are you excited now?
00:25:59Standing arguing in the garden in the middle of the night
00:26:01In a party frock and no stockings?
00:26:03This party frock was part of my trousseau
00:26:05It came from a Paris pattern book
00:26:07And I've never had the opportunity to wear it
00:26:09I'm a country doctor, Emma
00:26:11I'm cold
00:26:17I thought it was something that I had done
00:26:31Or not done
00:26:33That perhaps it was up to me
00:26:35To make it thrilling
00:26:37We'd love each other, Emma
00:26:39That's the truth
00:26:41We can't be startled by that for the rest of our days
00:26:44Dear God
00:26:46I never was startled by it, Charles
00:26:49Not once
00:26:50You're overtired
00:26:54I thought I would be wiser
00:27:00Once I became someone's wife
00:27:02I thought I'd discover all kinds of new sensations
00:27:08I thought you'd show me, Charles
00:27:12Emma?
00:27:15I have never known such peace
00:27:17Dear God
00:27:22Why did I marry him?
00:27:52Great excitement whilst you were out
00:28:03Two footmen in crimson livery delivered it
00:28:06The Marquis d'Andevilliers requests the pleasure of the company of Dr and Madame Bovary
00:28:15Dinner and a ball
00:28:16And supper and breakfast
00:28:19He enclosed a charming note
00:28:21Thanking me for relieving him of his dental abscess
00:28:23And offering us accommodation for the night
00:28:25I thought you could wear that pretty pink dress
00:28:28Pink dress?
00:28:30The Tarnatine?
00:28:32Do you want me to be humiliated in front of everyone?
00:28:34Do you want me to look provincial?
00:28:36Oh
00:28:38Do you want me to be imm seked
00:28:57Oh
00:28:58Do you want me to be speechless?
00:29:00Do you you want me to be NPKel?
00:29:01Do you want me to lie up any sẽ
00:29:02You can't tell me
00:29:03I haven't seen you
00:29:04Do you want me to tell you
00:29:04Do you want me to tell me
00:29:05Well, do you want me to like it?
00:29:06I know you
00:29:37My dear, my dear Madame Bolvary, is it not?
00:29:50Pray do a poor old Marquis the kindness of sitting with her for a little while.
00:30:08I have never seen such an exquisite cat.
00:30:11She was a gift from an admirer, presented with a diamond bracelet around her neck.
00:30:17What is she called?
00:30:18Bert. It's an old family name.
00:30:23Do you play cards?
00:30:25I'm afraid I don't.
00:30:26Why not trot along and join the other gentlemen?
00:30:29They make great claims for bridge as a spectator sport.
00:30:41He bores you.
00:30:44Oh, no.
00:30:45He is your husband. A degree of tedium is entirely proper.
00:30:49Do you have a bosom friend?
00:30:51A best friend?
00:30:52Somebody to confide in. Label her, as you will.
00:30:56I have a little dog. An Italian greyhound.
00:31:00How delightful. And such a great respecter of secrets.
00:31:04I have no secrets, madame.
00:31:05Yet.
00:31:06There's no one else in the world like you, is there?
00:31:13Why do you say that?
00:31:14Because you're not yet twenty.
00:31:18Now, show me your dance card.
00:31:27Blank, blank, blank.
00:31:29This will never do.
00:31:32Do you waltz?
00:31:33I'm afraid I don't.
00:31:34How utterly delicious.
00:31:37Gentlemen, do so enjoy the opportunity to initiate one.
00:31:47The Viscount.
00:31:49The Viscount.
00:31:53Does not his waistcoat look as if it has been painted on his chest?
00:32:02Viscount.
00:32:04Madame Bovary has nobody to take her in to supper.
00:32:09And she does not waltz.
00:32:13Would madame do me the honour of placing her trust in me?
00:32:25It's good.
00:32:30Good bet.

00:34:36I hope Natalie's got something plain for supper.
00:34:46I thought that food was awful.
00:34:48Have you got a headache?
00:34:50Why should I have a headache?
00:34:51Well, you had champagne.
00:34:52I suffer no ill effects from it.
00:34:56Oh!
00:34:59Oh, I said that Richard Pony was the wrong size for the shaft.
00:35:03It is not a pony.
00:35:04It is a horse.
00:35:06We've had this conversation before.
00:35:08Yes, and you never do anything about it, do you?
00:35:12I mean, what if someone from last night comes past and sees us here?
00:35:15Well, they might offer to help.
00:35:18Imagine the humiliation, Charles.
00:35:20Anyone might come by.
00:35:22The Viscount might come by.
00:35:24It happened to me.
00:35:49I was there.
00:35:51I danced in these shoes.
00:36:02I was applauded and admired.
00:36:22I was there once.
00:36:47Why don't you tell me some tidbits from your Paris magazine?
00:37:09Because you aren't interested.
00:37:11I'm always interested in tales from high society, how the Duchess of so-and-so has had her wigs remade, how Prince Thingamajig has provoked another suicide.
00:37:21Why have you stopped playing the piano?
00:37:25Because there's no one to listen to me.
00:37:26I could have been good enough to give recitals.
00:37:27People would have come from far and wide.
00:37:28I listen.
00:37:29Don't you see, Charles?
00:37:30There's nothing left.
00:37:31Nothing's ever going to happen to me.
00:37:32Ever.
00:37:33I'm buried alive, and I can't see any light anywhere.
00:37:36Hello, little dove.
00:37:37Hello, Father.
00:37:38I brought you a turkey.
00:37:39Would it have killed you to wring its neck?
00:37:45Oh.
00:37:46Oh.
00:37:47Oh.
00:37:48Oh.
00:37:49Oh.
00:37:50Hell.
00:37:51Oh.
00:37:52Theuldade.
00:37:53Little stew.
00:37:54Hello, little dove.
00:37:55Hello, Father.
00:37:57Has it brought you a turkey?
00:37:59Would it have killed you to wring its neck?
00:38:03We have lost all the way.
00:38:20It sweetens the meat.
00:38:25What in the name of goodness is she doing wearing grey cotton stockings?
00:38:30She keeps saying that since we aren't rich, she'll have to economise.
00:38:33I thought you'd be pleased.
00:38:34Pleased?
00:38:36To see my son's wife losing all sense of personal pride?
00:38:39To see her so altered in character?
00:38:43I have a letter from a connection of mine.
00:38:45Somebody who lives in this village, whose name I'm not at liberty to disclose.
00:38:49Who said that Emma was recently witnessed giving all the silver in her purse to a beggar.
00:38:56She's never been in the least kind-hearted.
00:38:59It will not do for her to be seen to be so disordered in her conduct.
00:39:05Charles, you must take action.
00:39:07I have taken action. Whose hat and stick is that?
00:39:10Medical professors from Rouen.
00:39:12You'll get no change from a hundred francs and his glove smell of Zanzibar cheroots.
00:39:16I love her. I'd do anything.
00:39:19Have you been able to make a diagnosis?
00:39:24It's nothing but nerves, nerves, nerves.
00:39:28She needs a change of air.
00:39:32Yes.
00:39:38Yonville.
00:39:40It's miles off.
00:39:41The pasture there is disastrous.
00:39:46It ain't the most appalling cheese.
00:39:48It ain't the most appalling.
00:39:50It ain't the most appalling cheese.
00:39:50It ain't the most appalling.
00:39:51It's almost all times.
00:39:52I don't know.
00:39:53I don't know if he's going to kill any of you.
00:39:55The Poker's nervous.
00:39:55The rhetoric is 겁니다.
00:39:58It's almost as simple as he gö 느낌이 to the police laptop.
00:40:01I don't know if he does.
00:40:02It's even less.
00:40:03The forty手.
00:40:05I don't know if he's interested in pain.
00:40:07I don't know if he is he's a little afraid.
00:40:09I miss that.
00:40:10I don't know if he wants the choice.
00:40:11I don't know if he's a little bit gamma voice
00:40:13He's before he looks verybah jako and you're the most out of its head.
00:40:14It is as I hoped.
00:40:44I did not choose this.
00:41:14Ten leaves of gelatine this moose has taken.
00:41:24And all I've been told is that it's her and him for dinner.
00:41:27This evening only.
00:41:29Accompanied by one lapdog.
00:41:32Blessedie Boudoir, you're late.
00:41:33It's a mercy I thought to keep those giblets.
00:41:36I had to shut up the church rooms after confirmation class.
00:41:39Confirmation class.
00:41:40It's just an endless supply of nubile young girls to those priests.
00:41:43If I were Prime Minister, I'd have all men in holy orders,
00:41:46bled once a month, by law, in the interest of public safety.
00:41:50Nobody's paying you any attention, monsieur or me.
00:41:53Paul!
00:41:57Have you scoured the copper coffee pot?
00:42:00The copper one?
00:42:02Mary, mother of God, give me strength.
00:42:05It's here.
00:42:05They've arrived.
00:42:08Paul!
00:42:09Blessedie Boudoir!
00:42:09All of you, get to the door.
00:42:11Not you, Binet.
00:42:17Leon!
00:42:19I wouldn't make too much of a fuss.
00:42:20They might think nothing ever happens here.
00:42:22Madam Bovary, I'm Armé the pharmacist.
00:42:43Dr. Bovary and I have been in correspondence.
00:42:46He's still in the coach.
00:42:49Asleep.
00:42:50Madam, let's see, Boudoir.
00:42:57What's happened to the lap dog?
00:42:59It escaped.
00:43:01Looks like you've wasted your giblets.
00:43:03Are you the doctor's wife?
00:43:24Yes.
00:43:32Who are you?
00:43:33Moose, doctor.
00:43:38I came here from Rouen to start my training as a lawyer.
00:43:41I'm a clerk at the town hall.
00:43:43The difficulty is, Dr. Bovary,
00:43:45the prevailing winds make this quite a healthful district
00:43:47for much of the year.
00:43:49There are 14 octogenarians between here and La Boissiere alone.
00:43:56I lodge with him and his family above the pharmacy.
00:44:00I just take my meals here.
00:44:02Moose, monsieur Armé.
00:44:04How could I refuse?
00:44:05You said there is quite a preponderance of scrofula.
00:44:09Oh, it will turn your stomach to gaze upon the peasantry.
00:44:12Though they seem dismally determined to scratch,
00:44:15fester and repudiate all scientific aid.
00:44:18We do have some beautiful sunsets.
00:44:21Do you?
00:44:22The best place to see them is at the top of Pasture Hill.
00:44:25On a Sunday, I go there alone sometimes just to watch and listen for the nightingale.
00:44:30Is there a nightingale?
00:44:31Yes.
00:44:32Am I too anticipate much ague?
00:44:34Of course, we get some very interesting fevers after harvest time.
00:44:37Have you ever watched the sun set into the sea?
00:44:40Of course, my best.
00:44:40Have you?
00:44:42Once.
00:44:43When I was a very little girl.
00:44:46It was the first thing I ever saw that I knew to be infinite.
00:44:50And I was overwhelmed.
00:44:52It's like the composer who used to have his piano placed with a view of the mountains
00:44:56so that he could be inspired.
00:44:57Mendelssohn!
00:44:58Yes, Mendelssohn.
00:45:00Have you been to the mountains?
00:45:02My cousin went to Switzerland last year.
00:45:04He touched a glacier.
00:45:07Brought me back a pebble.
00:45:11Just as it was when the hand of God threw it out of heaven.
00:45:27Brought me back a pebble.
00:45:29Brought me to razón with her.
00:45:37Brought me back –
00:45:45falsely w理 ее
00:45:48Lief er schnell, es nah zu sehn.
00:45:53Saß mit vielen Freuden.
00:46:00Milk time, sweetheart.
00:46:04It's so nice to hear you play again.
00:46:07The change of air has already done its work.
00:46:18Am I still your only patient?
00:46:21The rest will come.
00:46:27Oh, please.
00:46:31Rustline, rustline, rustline, rust.
00:46:35I can't be getting fat already, I can't.
00:46:38You aren't doing it properly, Charles.
00:46:41We shall have to get a maid.
00:46:42I'm not at all sure you should still be tight lacing.
00:46:45Well, May is a very forward-thinking man
00:46:48and he says his wife has rejected all forms of corsetry.
00:46:52I'm sorry, it won't go any tighter.
00:46:54I don't want anyone to know that I'm expecting.
00:47:02You are pleased, aren't you?
00:47:05About your condition?
00:47:10I'm amazed by it.
00:47:11I want to keep being amazed by it.
00:47:19I've never had such a secret.
00:47:28Leon!
00:47:29Madame Bovary!
00:47:30My husband's been called to a case.
00:47:33I wanted to listen for the nightingale.
00:47:38Would he not have allowed you to come here?
00:47:40Oh, Charles thinks the dusk air isn't good for me.
00:47:42Why?
00:47:43Because he doesn't want me to die.
00:47:46Why should you die?
00:47:48Because we're all mortal.
00:47:49Perhaps in his innermost heart,
00:47:55your husband wants to live by the laws of love,
00:47:57not by the rules of nature.
00:47:59I don't think Charles has got an innermost heart.
00:48:02Just a plaster model of one.
00:48:04He keeps it on his desk.
00:48:09At medical school,
00:48:10they told him the heart was just another muscle
00:48:12and he believed them.
00:48:23I wish you'd come and dine at the inn again.
00:48:27Never had such a conversation
00:48:29as I had with you that night.
00:48:32You have a great facility with words.
00:48:33I can talk to you.
00:48:43I can talk to you.
00:49:03Have you been buying novels?
00:49:07Leon Lansom to me.
00:49:09And volumes of poetry.
00:49:12Absolutely no more tight lacing,
00:49:14do you hear me?
00:49:19He's kicking!
00:49:23Can you feel him kicking?
00:49:24Do you think it's a boy?
00:49:26I don't know.
00:49:27I hadn't thought.
00:49:28I didn't think and then I just said he...
00:49:30I've seen life and death from every angle
00:49:36and I've always stood looking from the outside in.
00:49:40I'm part of it now.
00:49:44I've put life inside you.
00:49:54Emma.
00:49:56I spent 15 months married to a dried-up old widow.
00:50:01I never knew there could be so much joy on this earth.
00:50:11Charles.
00:50:14I'm sorry.
00:50:18You're fatigued.
00:50:21I'm always fatigued.
00:50:25It's your condition.
00:50:27Forgive me.
00:50:30You asked to see me.
00:50:45I perhaps presumed too much of our friendship.
00:51:02I imagined you kept nothing from me.
00:51:04Do you think it's easy to discuss such matters?
00:51:07You look radiant.
00:51:15You look radiant.
00:51:20I feel most unlike myself.
00:51:25The drape is at the door.
00:51:27The drape is at the door, madame!
00:51:29If I might suggest two dozen of the long lawn under robes
00:51:45with one dozen frocks to go on top.
00:51:49Charles, have you seen this cradle Italian walnut?
00:51:52And it's made so it looks like a little boat sailing on two harps.
00:51:54See?
00:51:54Emma, my dear, would you step into the hall?
00:51:59What?
00:52:06We haven't any money.
00:52:07Oh, you're always saying that and we always manage.
00:52:09I've been dipping into your diary to keep us afloat.
00:52:12It's taking me a while to get established here.
00:52:14We've had a lot of expense.
00:52:15We've even taken on an indoor maid.
00:52:17It's all gone.
00:52:29Thank you, Monsieur Leroy,
00:52:31but I'm afraid you'll have to pack everything away.
00:52:33A maternal tenderness ought not to be thwarted.
00:52:36An exquisite taste should never be denied.
00:52:42I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.
00:52:44I did not choose this.
00:53:09This is not the life I meant to have.
00:53:11I can't endure it.
00:53:16I can't endure it.
00:53:18Just keep saying to yourself,
00:53:20this too will pass.
00:53:21I endured the pains of Satan
00:53:23when I was confined with Charles, Madame Omé.
00:53:25I was commended for my dignity afterwards.
00:53:27This too will pass.
00:53:29One!
00:53:30One!
00:53:31One!
00:53:31One!
00:53:32I think we're coming to the sharp end.
00:53:36We need more hot bricks and some sugar and water.
00:53:39Give it to you.
00:53:46Get out.
00:53:47Here, drink this, please.
00:53:49Get out.
00:53:50Get out, all of you.
00:53:53Now!
00:54:00Good girl.
00:54:02Good girl.
00:54:03It's killing me.
00:54:05Emma.
00:54:32Emma.
00:54:35Have a little girl.
00:55:03What about Madeline?
00:55:04It's the height of fashion nowadays.
00:55:06The name of a strumpet.
00:55:08It's biblical.
00:55:09I'm going to call her Bette.
00:55:11Bette?
00:55:12Bette.
00:55:13I heard it once when we went to a ball.
00:55:16Held by the Marquis Don de Villiers.
00:55:19It had such an aristocratic room.
00:55:22I'm just going to be a little bit better.
00:55:23I can't see it, but…
00:55:24I don't know.
00:55:25I think it's a good thing.
00:55:27I'll be right back.
00:55:29PHONE RINGS
00:55:35Madame Bovary!
00:55:36Leon!
00:55:38I thought she was with the wet nurse.
00:55:40Oh, I'm taking her away from there.
00:55:42The woman keeps asking for more money.
00:55:44She's so uncultured.
00:55:46The baby's clothes haven't been starched once.
00:55:56Was it you who left the Marigolds?
00:55:58How did you know?
00:56:00You didn't leave a note with them.
00:56:03No-one else in Yonville had any need to conceal their concern for me.
00:56:09Is your husband jealous?
00:56:12No.
00:56:16Ought you to be.
00:56:20Madame Bovary!
00:56:22You must go home!
00:56:24You must go straight back indoors
00:56:27and take her muscular plaster.
00:56:35When you were confined,
00:56:36I spent every evening with your husband in the Golden Line.
00:56:40It was a way of being close to you.
00:56:43I could hear news of you.
00:56:46He's a part of you.
00:56:48He is not.
00:56:50Don't you care for him?
00:56:54He's very, very kind.
00:57:00The things I must say.
00:57:03Emma.
00:57:06Must you say them aloud?
00:57:07We haven't been in the habit of saying things aloud.
00:57:09No, we haven't been in the habit of saying what we truly feel.
00:57:14When have I ever told you how my heart quickens when I see you at your window?
00:57:19Emma!
00:57:20Emma!
00:57:28Emma!
00:57:30Emma, please!
00:57:32Why does God play such cruel games?
00:57:35Does it please him to be making hay with our hearts,
00:57:38to be always letting us glimpse heaven when he knows the door is closed?
00:57:40I'm sorry.
00:57:41I'm sorry.
00:57:42Do you think I mean just you?
00:57:48Somebody's compromising herself.
00:57:50Madam, you look ever so pinched about the gills. Why don't you tell the doctor?
00:58:10Because the doctor can't do anything to help me.
00:58:14There was this girl in Dieppe. Her father was a fisherman.
00:58:23She used to go off on her own and walk along the beach.
00:58:27White as a sheet, the hair all anyhow.
00:58:30Sometimes they'd find her, face down in the shingle, crying her eyes out.
00:58:37She had some sort of fog in the head, they said.
00:58:40Tried having her exercised and everything.
00:58:44Never did no good at all.
00:58:47She's all right now though.
00:58:50What did she do?
00:58:53What was the cure?
00:58:55She got married.
00:59:10I'm miserable, Bovary.
00:59:11Oh, that's a shame.
00:59:14You want for nothing.
00:59:16Especially if matters conjugal.
00:59:19Such a fine wife.
00:59:22I think we're all a little jealous.
00:59:24Do you know why I'm jealous of him?
00:59:25Because he isn't bored.
00:59:26Because he hasn't got the guts to be bored.
00:59:36Because he'll be happy and contented all his life stuck here in this godforsaken bloody backwater.
00:59:43Perhaps a change of employment might exercise your mind.
00:59:48My mind's exercised enough.
00:59:50My mind's worn out with exercising.
00:59:52It's like a mouse on a wheel, like a piston in an engine.
00:59:55It never stops.
00:59:56And what does it turn upon then?
01:00:00Where is it fixed?
01:00:02What is its focus?
01:00:06Masquerades.
01:00:09And the laughter of girls.
01:00:11Girls in the plural sense.
01:00:14I want to lead the life of an artist.
01:00:17I want to be free to explore my soul.
01:00:20I can see no harm in that.
01:00:24You'll have to have guitar lessons.
01:00:28And buy a beret.
01:00:30I'm rotting away here.
01:00:33I'm like the fetuses in your shop, honey.
01:00:36All life denied.
01:00:47I can see myself in your eyes.
01:00:50I can see myself in yours.
01:00:59Great excitement at the Golden Lion.
01:01:10Lael's going to live in Paris.
01:01:21It will be for the best.
01:01:23You can sit all your exams and make your mother proud of you.
01:01:30Is the doctor home?
01:01:33Out.
01:01:35On the call.
01:01:41The barometer warns of rain.
01:01:44I have my overcoat.
01:01:52Emma, I can't go.
01:01:54You must.
01:01:56You make me feel naked.
01:01:59This is the closest we'll ever get.
01:02:07After this there is only the gulf.
01:02:14We've been so fat, George.
01:02:16Has that made you content?
01:02:19I've known no peace because of it.
01:02:21But I have done no wrong.
01:02:22I'm pouring myself into you, Emma.
01:02:23And that must be enough.
01:02:27I'm pouring myself into you, Emma.
01:02:31And that must be enough.
01:02:52With regard to the Algerian scars, madame, it might perchance be worth mentioning that when Monsieur Leon wrote to me from Paris two months ago, he remarked that in town, oh, they are the height of modishness.
01:03:07The yellow.
01:03:08The yellow.
01:03:09If you would be so kind as to open an account for me.
01:03:10The yellow.
01:03:11If you would be so kind as to open an account for me.
01:03:12If you would be so kind as to open an account for me.
01:03:16The yellow.
01:03:17The yellow.
01:03:18If you would be so kind as to open an account for me.
01:03:19The yellow.
01:03:20If you would be so kind as to open an account for me.
01:03:23The yellow.
01:03:24The yellow.
01:03:25If you would be so kind as to open an account for me.
01:03:53I can barely feel it now.
01:04:23I can't keep the love alive.
01:04:53It must be over.
01:05:01Refreshments are going to be served in a marquee by the church after the thanksgiving.
01:05:10This isn't just Harvest Hole, Madame LeFrancois.
01:05:14It is a gathering of civic dignitaries.
01:05:17Tippling in a tent, like a bunch of circus clowns.
01:05:22We'll discuss this.
01:05:24Trot off and practice your party piece.
01:05:27Sir, I'm Rodolphe Poulanger, de La Houchette. I'm looking for a doctor.
01:05:32I'm a pharmacist.
01:05:33Er, no, I have a man in a Tilbury in a fit. He needs bleeding.
01:05:41When the seizures come on, does he suffer any warning signs?
01:05:44He's complained of pins and needles and a stench in the air sometimes.
01:05:52Well caught.
01:06:00Under his cravat.
01:06:04I'm not convinced I want to be an apothecary.
01:06:07Monsieur may only let's me do things like sweeping up in the shop.
01:06:11That's enough. Put the bowl on the table, will you, Emma?
01:06:16Honoured guests, ladies and gentlemen.
01:06:37It is perhaps with too much ease and ignorance that we speak of the fat of the land, the salt of the earth, the lilies of the field.
01:06:52Agricultural fecundity is not heaven sent.
01:07:00It is the direct consequence of human toil and the correct deployment of fertilizer.
01:07:10You have my admiration.
01:07:14I'm sure I do not deserve such a thing.
01:07:18Most women cannot bear the sight of blood or even the anticipation of it.
01:07:22Science has now proved beyond all doubt
01:07:26that manure from cattle reared in this administrative district is superior to that of all neighbouring...
01:07:35I was about to fight a duel once, and Virginie dropped down in a swoon as soon as she saw the pistols loaded.
01:07:41Who's Virginie?
01:07:44My mistress.
01:07:46She's an actress, and I adore her.
01:07:49...the collection, storage and utilisation of all ordua.
01:07:54Although she is getting rather fat.
01:07:56Equine, bovine...
01:07:57And she lies on the daybed every afternoon eating longus steen and licking her fingers.
01:08:02Porcine or ovine?
01:08:06Indeed.
01:08:07The eliminations of the domestic chicken have been found to be of profound benefit to cultivate its soil.
01:08:15Of course.
01:08:17But then I always do.
01:08:19Despite the...
01:08:20I shouldn't agree to take part in them, really.
01:08:23So unfair on my opponents.
01:08:27Do you know the saddest thing about these fireworks?
01:08:30Uh, they're only once a year.
01:08:32What?
01:08:33All the Times firemen are lined up over there with their wagons filled with water.
01:08:38Just in case a spark should escape and cause a little fire.
01:08:41And some excitement.
01:08:48You don't belong here.
01:08:52I'm aware of that.
01:08:54I'll tell you what that wife of yours wants.
01:09:01Hard labour.
01:09:03I've heard of hospitals for invalids of her ilk.
01:09:07They set them to tilling the fields.
01:09:11And I'm going to the circulating library to cancel a subscription.
01:09:15Then if they lend her one more novel, they're committing fraud and we can go to the police.
01:09:30I can't stop thinking about you.
01:09:33Does your husband have a cure for it?
01:09:35Don't make fun of me.
01:09:36I'd rather cut out my tongue.
01:09:39What are we to do?
01:09:41Why must we do anything?
01:09:42Because the angels demand it.
01:09:48It's not possible for us to be together.
01:09:51Ever.
01:09:52Can you imagine the agony if we don't at least attempt it?
01:09:56If we crush this utterly and never let it see the light?
01:10:01I can imagine all too well as it happens.
01:10:05We will become lovers.
01:10:07It is inevitable.
01:10:09It might take six months, might take ten years, but it will happen, Madame Bovary.
01:10:14Don't call me that.
01:10:16It's not my name.
01:10:19Emma.
01:10:22Do you ride?
01:10:28When I was in the convent, the nuns would not permit it.
01:10:34And now Charles needs the only horse we've got to go to work.
01:10:38Would you grant me the privilege of showing me a bedroom?
01:10:41I would not enter.
01:10:43I only stand on the threshold, cast my eyes upon the sheets and pillows when you sleep,
01:10:48and gaze on the hanging rows of your clothes.
01:10:50as a substitute for your nakedness.
01:10:59Hello, Boulanger.
01:11:01Did that chap of yours make her full recovery?
01:11:03Thank you. I came to pay.
01:11:06And to ask whether I might loan you a nice little gelding of mine.
01:11:08I'd heard Madame Bovary's health was not all that it should be, and I thought the exercise may be of benefit to her.
01:11:15Oh, would you like that, sweetheart?
01:11:16Are you sure it won't look odd?
01:11:17I think it looks divine.
01:11:18It was so kind of Leroy to let us have it on credit.
01:11:20No, I don't mean the costume.
01:11:21I mean, me riding out with him.
01:11:22I mean, what will people say?
01:11:23Why would anyone say anything?
01:11:24You're a married woman, Emma.
01:11:25Emma.
01:11:26I mean, what will people say?
01:11:27Why would anyone say anything?
01:11:28You're a married woman, Emma.
01:11:29And I'm sure it won't look odd.
01:11:30You're sure it won't look odd.
01:11:31I think it looks divine.
01:11:32You're so kind of Leroy to let us have it on credit.
01:11:33No, I don't mean the costume.
01:11:34I mean, me riding out with him.
01:11:35I mean, what will people say?
01:11:36Why would anyone say anything?
01:11:37You're a married woman, Emma.
01:11:38There he is.
01:11:39Is that right?
01:11:40Is that right?
01:11:41Yeah, I'm sure.
01:11:42You're a married woman, Emma.
01:11:43Is that right?
01:11:44No, no, no, no.
01:11:45I mean, me riding out with him.
01:11:46I mean, what will people say?
01:11:49Why would anyone say anything?
01:11:51You're a married woman, Emma.
01:11:52There he is.
01:11:54All right?
01:11:57Yes.
01:11:59All right?
01:12:01No, no, no, no.
01:12:04We're away from the path.
01:12:34Are you afraid of forests?
01:12:38Don't you want to go deeper?
01:12:55Why a blue veil?
01:12:57You bad man, it's supposed to illuminate the skin.
01:13:01It's as if you're looking at me from the bottom of the sea.
01:13:04Come up, mermaid.
01:13:07Try and taste the air.
01:13:10I'll show you how to breathe.
01:13:13I can hear the horses.
01:13:15I've already tied them.
01:13:17Love me.
01:13:19I believe I do.
01:13:21I mean, love me.
01:13:24But Toph, you're frightening me.
01:13:28I'm not frightening you at all.
01:13:31I could terrify you, Emma, if I wanted to.
01:13:44I could terrify you, Emma, if I wanted to.
01:13:57What if I wanted you to?
01:13:59I could Ilifida.
01:14:14Oh, my God.
01:14:44Oh, my God.
01:15:14I'm afraid I've made you bleed a little.
01:15:31I'm glad.
01:15:36It makes it like a second first time.
01:15:38Have I done something to amuse you?
01:15:47I have a lover.
01:15:54I have a lover.
01:15:58A lover.
01:16:01Well, well.
01:16:24Well, well, what?
01:16:29Evening, monsieur Armé.
01:16:33Will you write to me?
01:16:36I'll write to you.
01:16:37Hello.
01:16:41Hello.
01:16:42Hello.
01:16:47Hello.
01:16:51Hello.
01:16:51I've never seen you look so beautiful.
01:17:07It's done you good.
01:17:13I feel no remorse, suffer no guilt, fear nothing.
01:17:18You have poured yourself into my heart.
01:17:21And love comes streaming out.
01:17:27The heavens have been torn open.
01:17:31Passion has been spilt everywhere.
01:17:36Are you going out? It's early.
01:17:39I have to ride halfway to Rouen.
01:17:43Big emetic needed.
01:17:45I want to make your blood sing in your veins like a river of milk.
01:17:56Yeah, I'm going out.
01:18:05Yeah.
01:18:06You know, I don't know.
01:18:06I don't know.
01:18:06I'm sorry.
01:18:07I'm sorry.
01:18:08I don't do it.
01:18:08I don't do it.
01:18:09I don't do it.
01:18:10I don't do it.
01:18:10Yeah.
01:18:10I don't do it.
