Which one but you remember the 115 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.519 chapter Marry the versions of Prince Alessandro. 116 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.160 I ought to took me long enough to translate it. 117 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.439 What did you think of Alessandro? 118 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:28.079 Oh? 119 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.399 I thought him an animal, an incredibly cruel animal. 120 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:37.439 Really, I thought it rather intrieding a very clever way 121 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:41.800 of proving that there are but three elemental emotions. 122 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.600 I see you're admiring my heart. Yes, do you play 123 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.160 a little music seems to release me from the dull, 124 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:55.240 vulgarity of life. You know, there's a certain spirituality about 125 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.720 the heart. It seems to embody every how should I 126 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.120 see see it? There's such an esthetic feel about it. 127 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.519 Sometimes I sit here all night and just play that 128 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:28.160 very set. You play beautifully, en amateur, but I enjoy it, 129 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.800 you know Brown, No, I don't. And he wrote so 130 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:37.480 little for the half. He's my favorite composer. 131 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:39.519 I'm afraid I'm not very musical. 132 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:47.720 So you consider Prince Alessandra an animal? Do you? You're 133 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:48.279 very young? 134 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:48.959 Serry. 135 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.959 As a matter of fact, I was going to suggest 136 00:07:54.360 --> 00:08:00.439 to you that, oh no, no, I suppose we wouldn't 137 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:01.199 considered it. 138 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:01.959 Consider what. 139 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.959 I understand.

And at the end of 186 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.480 the week, on the second Sunday, at midnight, I shall 187 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.600 raise the glass partition and place a thick slice of 188 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.279 bread and butter exactly half way between you and Miss Vain. 189 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.240 And pay us twenty five thousand dollars. 190 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.399 Shall it not quite? 191 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:19.480 You? 192 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:20.120 See? 193 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:25.879 I agree with Alessandro. There are just three elementals, dear 194 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.200 eight and hunger. I believe that you are Miss Vain 195 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.360 for all that you say you are in love. I 196 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.759 believe that after seven days without food, you'd fall on 197 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.720 each other like a couple of snarling animal You crazy, 198 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.960 You're crazy. Nevertheless, I believe you'd cry each other to 199 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.720 bits and your struggle for that one slice of bread. 200 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.000 I believe you'd forget all about love and respect and tenderness. 201 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:54.720 You'd be ruled by an elemental in this case, hunger. Now, 202 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:59.080 of course, if I'm wrong, if you share the bread 203 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:04.000 gently and tenderly, then i'd pay you twenty five thousand dollars. 204 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.879 But if you perform as I expect, if you become 205 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.720 animals instead of human beings, then you'd have to work 206 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:18.960 for me for nothing for ten years. Thank goodness, I 207 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.279 have my music to console me. 208 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:23.759 Don't sit there staring at me, Sherry. 209 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.320 I find it hard to believe that you're serious. 210 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:27.480 Oh, I'm perfectly serious. 211 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.200 But it's insane. 212 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.200 It's impossible. I look lots of health crank diet for 213 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.159 longer than seven days, you say, in love with his skirls. 214 00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.080 Mistake, Yes, but I would never subject it to it 215 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.399 to such a monstrous experiment once she had the courage. 216 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.159 Of your convictions. You believe that love is stronger than hunger, 217 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:44.600 don't you? 218 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.080 Yes? 219 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.279 But that isn't the same thing. 220 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.039 You're young, you're an idealist. You believe that love is 221 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.360 a big, golden, wonderful thing. Well, I say that it 222 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.759 isn't I say that after seven days of not eating. 223 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.799 You would hate Catherine Lee you tear. 224 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.919 The bread flummer and stopping in the other. 225 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:02.039 Will you please leave. 226 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.879 That harple over? I enjoy it so much myself. I 227 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.399 forget sometimes that others don't appreciate. 228 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:12.480 You could never ask a woman too. Will you say 229 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:13.000 you're in love? 230 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:13.440 Don't you? 231 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:14.720 Well, of course we're in love. 232 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:17.039 You could get married at once. No more clubbing, no 233 00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.519 more tutoring at night. Miss Vain could resign her position. 234 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.320 You have a nice little house, a car, all in 235 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.600 exchange for seven days. 236 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.320 Of not eating. Why don't you talk it over in 237 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.720 this vein? Tell her how easily you can earn twenty 238 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:52.559 five thousand dollars. Why don't you erry another pastry? And 239 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.000 Miss Vain remember you will be eating again until next Sunday. 240 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.639 I couldn't. 241 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.639 I couldn't possibly eat another mouthful. 242 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.320 Well, since it's almost midnight, shall we go upstairs? 243 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.320 We can't do it, We can't do it. 244 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:10.039 Catch cherry sherry, please, it's so easy. No more pinching, 245 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.559 no more going without things. All we have to do 246 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.039 is lie quietly on a couch for a week without eating. 247 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:16.559 You want to call it off? 248 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.080 Of course he doesn't want to call it off. Besides, 249 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.720 we've signed all those papers. I don't know if they're 250 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:22.320 legal or not. 251 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.240 Oh, my dear miss Vane, you wander restimate me. I 252 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.919 had my lawyers draw up the agreement very carefully. Of course, 253 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:30.919 we can't come out and say that Sherry was to 254 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.840 be my slave for ten years. 255 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:34.120 But don't worry. 256 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.960 I'm quite sure I'll collect my payment if you're so 257 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.679 unfortunate as to lose the wager.
