00:07:45 - I'm so sorry... - Please, stay where you are.

00:12:29 Mr. Fabert...

00:15:36 It was easy enough.

00:18:46 It's really hard for me.

00:24:11 I'd like to, but I must go home.

00:28:08 It's really of no importance.

00:32:02 Give it to my mother, it'll make her happy.

00:35:13 Sin has never spent the night here.

00:38:31 Never again will either of you have to work.

00:42:37 I respect love too much to settle for shoddy goods.

00:45:50 You reacted so stupidly.

00:49:47 - My wife. - I didn't know you...

00:53:05 - Can I go and change? - Yes, in there.

00:57:19 I think I've been very proper.

01:00:40 Let's go.

01:04:54 No, get out!

01:09:27 May I?

01:13:45 In that case, sir...

01:18:41 I'm not the same. You'll see.

01:23:02 - So this is your job? - You knew it was.

01:26:30 - Afraid of burglars? - I'm afraid of no one.

01:29:45 Here he is, here's my lover. He's handsome, and young.

01:37:20 Certainly.
