7
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,320
Irene his wife: Tora Teje.
8
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,920
"Leo, don't forget
9
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,800
that before the opera
Preben is staying at our place for dinner.'

on Maskeradegatan Street!'
14
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,000
“She is Professor Charpentier's niece, after all.
15
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,440
She will definitely be illustrating his new book.”

Marte Charpentier: Karin Molander.
17
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,640
"Dear gentlemen! Today we will deal with
18
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,840
habits of different species of bark beetles.
19
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,320
On careful observation
we find these bugs
20
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,160
that they fall
21
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,960
into three individual categories."
22
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,080
"The theme of the coexistence of individual species
is particularly interesting.
23
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:26,120
Bark beetles with red dots
indulge in polygamy,
24
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,040
in contrast, purple bark beetles
25
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,600
they are monogamous.”
26
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:01,320
"The most important species of gobbler,
27
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:07,880
spruce bark beetle,
28
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:14,680
indulges in bigamy, dear gentlemen.'
29
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,720
“However, to be quite precise,
30
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,920
Spruce gobbler can sometimes live
31
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,280
with up to three females.'
32
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,800
“They usually settle for two,
33
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:05,800
but never, gentlemen, never with one.'
34
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,360
“Dear Mr. Markvard,
35
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,920
I am in a very melancholy mood today
36
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,240
and I can't decide.
37
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,680
I'd rather bet tomorrow."
38
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,080
To impart a lesson in patience
a fur trader.
39
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,640

Soar into the clouds with Baron Felix.
42
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:51,160
"I'm burning with desire
to make the archangels in heaven jealous.
43
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,240
You wouldn't want to change seats
44
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,680
to my machine with a hundred horses under the hood?'
45
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:12,720
"I don't dare arouse envy today
in no one else
46
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,680
than in archangels.'

"Don't you happen to know
50
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,680
if Mrs. Irene flies today?'
51
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,080
"Such airmen
52
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:14,280
they are always lucky with women.'
53
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,800
"He's a jerk."
54
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,240
“Are you ready uncle?
55
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:38,080
Can I tie your tie for you?'
56
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,480
“In marriage contracts
I have always missed one sentence:
57
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,320
the wife will tie her husband's tie.'
58
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:35,200
"And did you ever ask Aunt Irene?"
59
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:19,160
"It never suited you
more than today, Aunt Irene.'
60
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,400
"Sweet girl, that Martha."
61
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:54,200
"She's not just a girl, she's a real woman."
62
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,200
"And you, my dear,
you are indeed a married man.'
63
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,760
“What it was like, floating between chimneys
64
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,840
with the current Icarus?'
65
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:49,280
“Professor Sidonius is also coming to dinner.
66
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:54,080
You don't mind, dear Irene?'

“A poor girl like me
she shouldn't get used to sweets.'

00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,040
Shaname, the Shah's favourite,
she loved Prince Tariel.
78
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,480
But it belonged to the Shah,
Tariel's childhood friend.
79
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:08,560
When the Shah once went hunting,
Shaname asked Tariel to run away with her.
80
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:15,440
However, Tariel refused and Shaname gave it to her
cast into prison.
81
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:15,680
In three days the Shah returned from hunting
and his wife Shaname welcomed him home.
82
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,920
The Shah asked why he did not welcome him
and his friend Tariel,
83
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,440
and Shaname replied that Tariel
he lusted after her, so he is in prison.
84
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,640
“No applause, Preben?
85
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:43,160
Did you not like the show?'
86
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,760
"I don't like stories with tragic endings.
87
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:07,800
I totally agree on this
with the cinema audience.'
88
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:17,960
“And why didn't Tariel actually run off with her?
After all, he loved her.'
89
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,320
"He didn't run away with her,
90
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:30,080
because she was a woman
his best friend.'
91
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,560
"Apparently we're useless here."
92
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,880
“Then be of some use!
93
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:44,440
Chocolate pralines
would be a great start.”
94
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:42,760
Chère madame, it's time for Pajazzo.
95
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:48,920
I don't know if in your company
I can live through another romantic tragedy.
96
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,080
I'll go find some comedy
97
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,240
and I won't come to you until tomorrow
98
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,160
when my mood improves. Preben.
99
00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:15,320
"Dear ladies, dear gentlemen!
Allow me to introduce myself.
100
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,680
I am the prologue.'
101
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,200
"He's been acting so strange lately.
102
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,440
I think he fell in love.'
103
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,600

“You will be happy today, uncle.
107
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:52,600
I'll make you dinner
cabbage rolls with mutton.”
108
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:53,640
“One lady bought a boa
109
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:58,240
and wishes us to send the bill
110
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,440
that sculptor named Wells.'
111
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:58,360
"Yes, that's my model.
She enjoys such things.
112
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:03,800
How much does it cost this time?'
113
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,320
"You can drive! I'll walk."
114
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:47,320
"I'm sure you only think so.
115
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:54,040
You think a lady would like that
did she jeopardize her reputation?'
116
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,960
"I have to be sure."
117
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,760
"The lady left the house around two o'clock
118
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:55,920
and she should be back any minute now.'
119
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,200
"Should I go get the professor?"
120
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:26,400
“You don't look much happier today.
121
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:31,680
Don't you like my new dress?'
122
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:00,640
"If you think
that you favor me with nice clothes
123
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,200
then you are wrong.
124
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:08,960
You might charm your man with it,
125
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,320
but not me.'
126
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,200
"Can I ask you something?"
127
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:40,800
"What did you do today?
on Maskeradgatan?'
128
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,120
"You can explain to him
129
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:47,080
what was I doing on Maskeradgatan today?'
130
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:59,400
"You did go to the furrier. Why?"
131
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:31,760
"Women like you have been around forever
132
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,920
to a seamstress or furrier,
133
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:40,080
who lives near their street.'
134
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:17,320
"That girlfriend of yours could have told you
135
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,560
where am i right
136
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:25,560
After all, she was also on Maskeradgatan
137
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:30,080
at the tanner's, just like me.'
138
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:50,920
“So you deny that you are today
139
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:55,040
did she visit Baron Felix?'
140
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:16,960
“Don't be so cruel, dear Preben!
141
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:21,840
After all, we are not married.'
142
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:33,880
“I can deny all I want.
143
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:38,840
I don't have to tell you about anything.''
144
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,080
"Prebene, please don't leave..."
145
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:29,560
“I want to confess something to you, Preben.
146
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,800
Maybe I wasn't there at all.
147
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:38,560
But maybe I was there.
That would depend on who…
148
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:42,280
who lived there.'
149
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:31,440
“You want tragedy, Preben.
150
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:37,840
Good, then I'll indulge you.'
151
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:58,040
"What happened?
152
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:04,600
Nothing, I just tricked you.'
153
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:36,680
“What are you saying, my dear?
154
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:42,720
Are you saying you cheated on me?'
155
01:06:53,160 --> 01:07:00,160
"I'm getting tired of this comedy."
156
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:10,480
"Then end her. But not tragically,
157
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:17,560
Leo doesn't like tragic endings.'
158
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:50,920
“Yes, I heard she led me on.
But with whom on earth?'
159
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:05,400
"That's terrible!"
160
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:20,680
"Give me your card."
161
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:41,600
“You have to challenge him.
162
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:45,439
Challenge him to a pistol duel.'
163
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:13,400
"Who shot it?"
164
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,320
"If I die
165
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:25,280
science will accuse you of killing me.'
166
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:37,080
"Professor,
please run to Baron Felix
167
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:42,440
and convince him
not to kill my uncle!'
168
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:44,680
"I'm going to my mother's."
169
01:13:55,280 --> 01:14:00,000
"Our lawyer will take care of the divorce,
170
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:06,960
but my wardrobe
you have to send it to me today, okay?'
171
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:31,240
"We lived here
many beautiful moments my dear Leo.
172
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:36,400
But cabbage rolls with mutton
you never got.'
173
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:16,680
"My God, Aunt Irene is so nice."
174
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:20,680
"Mommy!"
175
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:58,760
"Didn't I say that?
What do you do, miss?
176
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:05,720
is he such a bookworm?
This is no match for you.'
177

178
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:49,440
END OF THE FOURTH ACT
179
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:34,600
“You mean, Jenny,
that it is true about the baron?'
180
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:44,600
"I thought
that Mr. Wells is the one.'
181
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:09,600
“Jean, you can call
express messenger.'
182
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:46,280
"No, I could never
let it last like this. Never!”
183
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,600
"Nothing special happened.
184
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:35,840
Madam just moved out
home to my mother.'
185
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:54,560
"Deal with the professor,
don't worry about it.
186
01:23:54,640 --> 01:24:00,680
I will persuade his wife to come back.'
187
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:27,880
"And I have to deal with you,
so you don't worry.
188
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:33,400
He will convince your wife to come back.'
189
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,880
"First she'll tell me she was unfaithful to me,
190
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:48,720
and now he claims to convince her
for her to come back.
191
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:52,960
Did someone ask him for it?'
192
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:58,200
"But I have my rights,
193
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:02,680
the rights of a cheated husband!'
194
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:07,360
Dear Baron!
As I have to finish my report
195
01:26:07,440 --> 01:26:13,400
about polygamous tendencies
purple-colored gorse-eaters,
196
01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:20,360
I respectfully request you
to excuse me from our fight.
197
01:26:20,440 --> 01:26:27,080
And on the basis of
that I have not caused you any injury to honor.
198
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:32,440
Sincerely, Leo Charpentier.
199
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:56,600
"Tell her that I am very troubled
because of his fatal mistake
200
01:28:56,680 --> 01:29:03,200
and that I came
to take her back to the professor.'
201
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:47,560
I love you till the end of the world.
202
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,720
"It's a beautiful song.
203
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:45,840
To her new husband
I will sing it every day.”
204
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:55,080
"I want to give up again.
205
01:30:55,160 --> 01:31:01,960
And I hope you continue to be
a family friend of mine, Mr. Wells.'
206
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:17,920
“Why are you treating me like this, Irene?
207
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:23,560
It would drive a man crazy.'
208
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:58,600
"Preben, say it ain't true!"
209
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:14,800
"Say you don't love her
the other woman.
210
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:21,280
That you didn't give her that boa for 2,000 crowns!"
211
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:37,720
"Shut up, you don't have to say anything anymore.
I know who you love…
212
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:42,320
Can't you hear my heart pounding…”
213
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:55,560
"But Leo, forget Leo!"
214
01:33:48,480 --> 01:33:53,560
"Your wife, sir."
215
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:46,880
“Leo, my love,
have you sent me my wardrobe yet?
216
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:50,960
I need him today, I'm going to dinner.'
217
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:09,560
"Will you put me on the phone Marte?"
218
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:48,200
“Tell Leo that I am very happy
219
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:53,320
and that I wish him the same luck. With you!'
220
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:48,560
"Hell, and just today
I should have had cabbage rolls with mutton!”
221
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:54,680
THE END
222
01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:57,680
