1
00:03:44,475 --> 00:03:47,145
<i>Open the door!</i>

2
00:03:54,402 --> 00:03:56,613
They're going mad, sir.
It's the students.

3
00:03:56,696 --> 00:03:58,907
<i>Down with tyrants!</i>

4
00:04:00,992 --> 00:04:03,453
- All right, let them in.
<i>- Open the door!</i>

5
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,092
- Swine!
- Beast!

6
00:04:37,362 --> 00:04:40,490
<i>- Into the valley of death!</i>
- Into the jaws of hell!

7
00:04:40,573 --> 00:04:43,451
Rode the 600!

8
00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:48,164
Hey, hey. Ease up.

9
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:51,960
You're sitting on my cloak.

10
00:04:52,043 --> 00:04:53,962
Filling up down below?

11
00:04:54,045 --> 00:04:55,964
- Not a sausage.
- Not a tiara.

12
00:04:56,047 --> 00:04:58,925
- Ah, here you are, Terry.
- Thank you.

13
00:05:46,347 --> 00:05:48,349
- I can't see him anywhere.
<i>- Programs.</i>

14
00:05:48,433 --> 00:05:50,601
- Oh, two, please.
<i>- One here.</i>

15
00:05:51,602 --> 00:05:52,937
Thanks, pal.

16
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,358
Quite a turnout down below.

17
00:05:57,442 --> 00:06:00,361
Old Palmer's music had better be good.

18
00:06:00,445 --> 00:06:03,948
Boronskaja would hardly be dancing
the leading role if it wasn't.

19
00:06:05,783 --> 00:06:07,702
Boro who?

20
00:06:07,785 --> 00:06:09,704
Who exactly is Boronskaja?

21
00:06:09,787 --> 00:06:12,040
Since you've stood
in a queue for six hours...

22
00:06:12,123 --> 00:06:14,125
waiting to see her dance,
I should have thought —

23
00:06:14,208 --> 00:06:16,919
Not to <i>see</i> anybody.
To hear.

24
00:06:18,463 --> 00:06:20,590
<i>Have you ever heard of Professor Palmer?</i>

25
00:06:20,673 --> 00:06:22,008
- Never.
- Never.

26
00:06:22,091 --> 00:06:23,843
You will.

27
00:06:24,844 --> 00:06:28,723
The program says <i>"Heart of Fire —</i>
Music by Andrew Palmer."

28
00:06:28,806 --> 00:06:30,892
Our professor at the academy.

29
00:06:30,975 --> 00:06:33,436
So Boro what's-her-name
had better be good.

30
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:36,147
She is hardly likely to be anything else.

31
00:06:45,490 --> 00:06:47,909
- There he is.
- Palmer!

32
00:06:48,592 --> 00:06:51,913
<i>Palmer! Palmer!</i>

33
00:06:54,499 --> 00:06:57,418
Lermontov!
Lermontov!

34
00:07:16,485 --> 00:07:18,439
Livy! Livy!

35
00:07:18,523 --> 00:07:21,067
<i>- Good old Livy!
- Good old Livy!</i>

36
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,487
We know him.

37
00:08:27,550 --> 00:08:29,844
- Do you remember my Scythian Rhapsody?
- Forget it.

38
00:08:29,927 --> 00:08:33,848
- That's it — your rhapsody.
That's the maestoso to it.
- Must be an accident.

39
00:08:33,931 --> 00:08:36,142
- Did you show him your rhapsody?
- I show him all my work.

40
00:08:36,225 --> 00:08:38,144
<i>- You don't think that he lifted it?
- Of course not.</i>

41
00:08:38,227 --> 00:08:40,354
Shh!

42
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,004
She's a great patron of the arts.

43
00:09:58,891 --> 00:10:00,226
Vicky.

44
00:10:02,353 --> 00:10:03,521
Vicky.

45
00:10:16,534 --> 00:10:17,868
<i>Vicky.</i>

46
00:10:19,203 --> 00:10:21,163
<i>Lermontov's coming.</i>

47
00:10:31,716 --> 00:10:34,343
- I say, that's yours too, isn't it?
- Yes.

48
00:11:40,910 --> 00:11:43,371
Steady on, old boy.

49
00:11:43,454 --> 00:11:45,664
Well, what are you waiting for?

50
00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:47,458
<i>- Quiet.</i>
- Please let me through.

51
00:11:56,133 --> 00:11:59,136
Please, do you mind?

52
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,641
Oh, really!

53
00:12:13,109 --> 00:12:15,027
Oh.

54
00:12:15,111 --> 00:12:17,905
Ah, dear Professor Palmer,
we're all very proud of you...

55
00:12:17,988 --> 00:12:20,241
and I hope you're
very proud of yourself.

56
00:12:20,324 --> 00:12:22,410
You're too kind.
Lady Neston, Monsieur Lermontov.

57
00:12:22,493 --> 00:12:25,246
- So we meet the great man at last.
<i>- Enchanté, madame.</i>

58
00:12:25,329 --> 00:12:28,082
Well, I never imagined I should
succeed in getting you here.

59
00:12:28,165 --> 00:12:30,584
I think I must be a very clever woman.

60
00:12:41,262 --> 00:12:44,598
If some fat harridan
is going to sing, I must go.

61
00:12:44,682 --> 00:12:46,600
I can't bear amateurs.

62
00:12:46,684 --> 00:12:49,395
- Neither, as it happens, can Lady Neston.
- What do you mean?

63
00:12:49,478 --> 00:12:53,941
She has, I believe, a niece
who dances professionally.

64
00:13:00,698 --> 00:13:05,202
<i>Hello, Professor.
Now please don't get up, Mr. Lermontov.</i>

65
00:13:06,537 --> 00:13:09,790
Now, are you prepared for a surprise?

66
00:13:09,874 --> 00:13:12,710
Do you mean a surprise,
Lady Neston, or a shock?

67
00:13:12,793 --> 00:13:16,088
Well, to take the plunge...

68
00:13:16,172 --> 00:13:18,549
I've asked my niece
to dance for us tonight.

69
00:13:19,925 --> 00:13:22,595
- What would you call that?
- A shock.

70
00:13:24,221 --> 00:13:27,683
Oh, well, you're — you're certainly very candid.

71
00:13:27,766 --> 00:13:29,643
You know, Mr. Lermontov...

72
00:13:29,727 --> 00:13:34,148
I wouldn't dream of boring you
with the performance of an amateur.

73
00:13:34,231 --> 00:13:38,235
<i>My niece has been dancing
leading roles for some time now.</i>

74
00:13:38,319 --> 00:13:40,446
The critics think very highly of her work.

75
00:13:41,447 --> 00:13:44,408
How would you define "ballet," Lady Neston?

76
00:13:44,492 --> 00:13:46,702
Well —

77
00:13:46,785 --> 00:13:49,872
one might call it
the poetry of motion, perhaps, or —

78
00:13:49,955 --> 00:13:53,918
One might, but for me,
it is a great deal more.

79
00:13:54,001 --> 00:13:56,754
For me, it is a religion.

80
00:13:56,837 --> 00:14:00,633
And one doesn't really care
to see one's religion practiced...

81
00:14:00,716 --> 00:14:04,261
in an atmosphere such as this.

82
00:14:05,888 --> 00:14:08,098
I hope you understand.

83
00:14:10,601 --> 00:14:13,103
Attractive brute.

84
00:14:50,558 --> 00:14:53,477
Mmm, I'll have a champagne cocktail, please.

85
00:14:53,561 --> 00:14:55,479
- Yes, sir.
- Champagne cocktail, please.

86
00:14:55,563 --> 00:14:57,064
Yes, madam.

87
00:15:01,110 --> 00:15:04,280
You know, at parties,
everybody's supposed to be very happy.

88
00:15:07,825 --> 00:15:10,744
But perhaps you dislike them
as much as I do.

89
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:15,040
<i>Still, as parties go,
I think it might have been worse.</i>

90
00:15:15,124 --> 00:15:18,919
- Do you?
<i>- It very nearly was a great deal worse.</i>

91
00:15:19,003 --> 00:15:21,088
- Oh?
- Thank you.

92
00:15:21,171 --> 00:15:24,425
We were, it appears, to be treated
to a little dancing exhibition.

93
00:15:24,508 --> 00:15:27,386
But now I understand
we are to be spared that horror.

94
00:15:27,469 --> 00:15:30,514
Mr. Lermontov, I am that horror.

95
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:36,687
Mmm.

96
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:38,939
It's a bit late for apologies, isn't it?

97
00:15:39,023 --> 00:15:40,941
Yes, a little late, I think.

98
00:15:42,526 --> 00:15:44,945
All the same, I'm sorry.
I'm terribly sorry.

99
00:15:45,029 --> 00:15:47,114
But you're not sorry I didn't dance, are you?

100
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:49,199
<i>- Oh.</i>
- May I ask why?

101
00:15:49,283 --> 00:15:52,328
- Well, because, my dear Miss-Miss —
<i>- Victoria Page.</i>

102
00:15:52,411 --> 00:15:55,331
My dear Miss Page, if I accept
an invitation to a party...

103
00:15:55,414 --> 00:15:58,042
I do not expect to find myself
at an audition.

104
00:16:02,212 --> 00:16:04,673
Yes, you're quite right.

105
00:16:07,718 --> 00:16:09,928
Why do you want to dance?

106
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:15,809
Why do you want to live?

107
00:16:15,893 --> 00:16:20,731
Well, I don't know exactly why,
but... I must.

108
00:16:21,815 --> 00:16:23,817
That's my answer too.

109
00:16:27,737 --> 00:16:28,822
Come with me.

110
00:16:28,906 --> 00:16:31,492
- Where to?
- We are going to have a little talk.

111
00:16:31,575 --> 00:16:33,494
But I don't think
I want to talk to you.

112
00:16:33,577 --> 00:16:35,496
Don't you worry.
I'll do the talking.

113
00:16:50,135 --> 00:16:52,513
<i>Can I see Mr. Lermontov now, please?</i>

114
00:16:52,596 --> 00:16:54,515
What is it, Dimitri?

115
00:16:54,598 --> 00:16:57,518
It is a young man called Craster.
He has been here a hundred times...

116
00:16:57,601 --> 00:17:00,688
and a hundred times I have told him
you are asleep, but he will not believe me.

117
00:17:00,771 --> 00:17:04,525
Then either you are a very bad liar,
or Mr. Craster is a young man of good sense.

118
00:17:04,608 --> 00:17:06,610
Show him in and serve breakfast.

119
00:17:10,406 --> 00:17:12,324
Mr. Craster.

120
00:17:29,967 --> 00:17:32,052
What can I do for you, Mr. Craster?

121
00:17:32,136 --> 00:17:34,847
I'm-I'm sorry to bother you,
Mr. Lermontov...

122
00:17:34,930 --> 00:17:37,725
but it's a matter of very
great importance to me.

123
00:17:37,808 --> 00:17:39,226
Yes?

124
00:17:39,309 --> 00:17:41,687
Last night, I wrote you a letter.

125
00:17:41,770 --> 00:17:45,691
It was a silly letter, and I'd like to
have it back before you read it, please.

126
00:17:45,774 --> 00:17:47,693
I see.

127
00:17:50,988 --> 00:17:52,823
That's the one.

128
00:17:54,825 --> 00:17:58,328
Unfortunately, Mr. Craster,
I have already read this letter.

129
00:17:58,412 --> 00:18:00,164
Oh.

130
00:18:01,999 --> 00:18:04,084
Mr. Lermontov, please.

131
00:18:04,168 --> 00:18:06,837
<i>You are one of Professor Palmer's pupils...</i>

132
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,757
and you say you have written
a string quartet and a piano concerto.

133
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,341
Yes.

134
00:18:12,509 --> 00:18:16,346
Very interesting.
Would you care to play me something?

135
00:18:16,430 --> 00:18:19,308
<i>Something of your own, I mean.</i>

136
00:18:20,517 --> 00:18:22,478
Of course, if you — if you wish it.

137
00:18:34,198 --> 00:18:37,367
This is a study
I wrote for the piano.

138
00:18:42,706 --> 00:18:46,960
<i>But I'm thinking of orchestrating it
and putting it into an opera I'm working on.</i>

139
00:19:22,496 --> 00:19:26,708
What, are you finished already?
That was very interesting.

140
00:19:26,792 --> 00:19:28,961
I hope I haven't ruined your breakfast.

141
00:19:29,962 --> 00:19:31,839
<i>By the way —</i>

142
00:19:31,922 --> 00:19:36,385
I need a new coach for the orchestra.
Would the idea interest you?

143
00:19:38,303 --> 00:19:40,264
Would it interest —

144
00:19:40,347 --> 00:19:42,975
I shouldn't be able to pay you
much money at first, of course —

145
00:19:43,058 --> 00:19:45,269
eight pounds a week and expenses.

146
00:19:47,729 --> 00:19:49,773
It would be absolutely marvelous.

147
00:19:49,857 --> 00:19:53,318
Right. Then get yourself some breakfast
and come over to Covent Garden.

148
00:19:53,402 --> 00:19:55,612
Thank you.

149
00:19:55,696 --> 00:19:58,407
And your letter, Mr. Craster.

150
00:20:02,369 --> 00:20:04,246
If you take my advice...

151
00:20:06,707 --> 00:20:09,543
you'll destroy it immediately
and forget all about it.

152
00:20:14,214 --> 00:20:17,134
The <i>Heart of Fire</i> is your work, isn't it?

153
00:20:18,802 --> 00:20:21,889
<i>You see, Mr. Craster, these things
mostly happen unintentionally.</i>

154
00:20:21,972 --> 00:20:24,892
- I know. That's why —
- That's why it is worth remembering...

155
00:20:24,975 --> 00:20:29,521
that it is much more disheartening
to have to steal...

156
00:20:29,605 --> 00:20:32,608
than to be stolen from, hmm?

157
00:20:35,944 --> 00:20:37,654
Good morning.

158
00:20:55,589 --> 00:21:00,344
<i>♪ Never mind the abuse
You have the excuse ♪</i>

159
00:21:00,427 --> 00:21:05,349
<i>♪ You went to Covent Garden
in the morning ♪♪</i>

160
00:21:05,432 --> 00:21:06,767
What a corker!

161
00:21:06,850 --> 00:21:08,852
<i>Sold already!</i>

162
00:21:12,189 --> 00:21:15,943
Of course I tried to get her.
I tried to get her twice. Ta-ta.

163
00:21:16,026 --> 00:21:17,945
- Here you are, son.
- Right, governor.

164
00:21:18,028 --> 00:21:20,030
Oi! You'll pardon me.

165
00:21:20,113 --> 00:21:22,032
This is the way
to the stage, isn't it?

166
00:21:22,115 --> 00:21:24,034
- Name?
- Julian Craster.

167
00:21:24,117 --> 00:21:26,620
- What name?
- Julian Craster.

168
00:21:26,703 --> 00:21:28,580
Not on the list.

169
00:21:37,047 --> 00:21:39,383
- Lunch, Irina?
- Yes.

170
00:21:39,466 --> 00:21:41,927
- I have an appointment with Mr. Lermontov.
- I'm sorry. I've got my job to do.

171
00:21:42,010 --> 00:21:44,429
It's not likely he would ask me to come
if he didn't want to see me.

172
00:21:44,513 --> 00:21:47,391
- Good morning, George.
- Oh, <i>bonjour, madame.</i>

173
00:21:47,474 --> 00:21:51,645
- How is Madame George?
- Oh, she is <i>"la très jalouse."</i>

174
00:21:51,728 --> 00:21:56,608
<i>Very "jalouse." That bit of a photograph
we had took together.</i> Compris?

175
00:21:56,692 --> 00:21:58,819
<i>Oh, here we are.</i>

176
00:21:58,902 --> 00:22:01,154
They've been looking
all over London for you this morning.

177
00:22:01,238 --> 00:22:02,698
<i>- Ah! Flut!</i>
- That's what I said.

178
00:22:02,781 --> 00:22:04,700
How much longer
do you expect me to go on waiting?

179
00:22:04,783 --> 00:22:06,451
I'll send for the S.M.

180
00:22:06,535 --> 00:22:10,622
- What is your name, young man?
- Julian Craster.

181
00:22:10,706 --> 00:22:13,500
I have an appointment
with Mr. Lermontov.

182
00:22:13,583 --> 00:22:15,585
Julian Cwes — Cwes —

183
00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:17,587
- Craster.
- Craster.

184
00:22:17,671 --> 00:22:22,592
Well, George, if this young man is invited
by Mr. Lermontov, you can pass him, yes?

185
00:22:22,676 --> 00:22:27,180
<i>Ça va</i> by me, madame.
<i>Ça va</i> by me.

186
00:22:27,264 --> 00:22:29,349
Follow me, young man.

187
00:22:33,103 --> 00:22:35,022
<i>- Est-ce que vous —
- Comment?</i>

188
00:22:35,105 --> 00:22:38,150
- Are you a dancer?
- Yes, at night.

189
00:22:38,233 --> 00:22:40,277
Not very much in the morning.

190
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:43,030
- I don't know very much about ballet.
- You are <i>artiste?</i>

191
00:22:43,113 --> 00:22:45,449
Yes, I'm a composer.

192
00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:48,827
Ahh, and you wish to see who?

193
00:22:48,910 --> 00:22:51,246
Well, I'm afraid I'm not quite sure.

194
00:22:51,329 --> 00:22:54,541
They are all there.
Make your choice.

195
00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:04,551
<i>Excuse me.
Can you tell me who's in charge here?</i>

196
00:23:04,634 --> 00:23:07,679
No idea, mate. There's about five
or six of 'em that thinks they are.

197
00:23:07,763 --> 00:23:11,058
- Can you tell me who's in charge here?
- Don't ask me anything, young man.

198
00:23:11,141 --> 00:23:15,145
I'm just somebody's mother, and that doesn't
mean much around here, I can tell you.

199
00:23:19,483 --> 00:23:21,735
Can you tell me
who's in charge here?

200
00:23:21,818 --> 00:23:24,404
In charge of what?

201
00:23:24,488 --> 00:23:26,740
Mr. Lermontov asked me
to come here this morning.

202
00:23:26,823 --> 00:23:28,742
- Why?
- He's engaged me.

203
00:23:28,825 --> 00:23:31,578
- Not as a dancer, I hope.
- No.

204
00:23:31,661 --> 00:23:34,081
<i>Allons, mes enfants!
Au boulot!</i>

205
00:23:35,624 --> 00:23:37,542
And —

206
00:23:40,462 --> 00:23:43,423
Well, Mr. Ratov,
Mr. Ljubov wants it moved.

207
00:23:43,507 --> 00:23:46,760
It is on the plan, and there it stays.

208
00:23:46,843 --> 00:23:48,678
Well, if you say so.

209
00:23:48,762 --> 00:23:50,764
<i>- Merci.</i>
- Good morning, madame.

210
00:23:54,643 --> 00:23:59,856
Ah, here comes
the great Boronskaja at last.

211
00:23:59,940 --> 00:24:03,360
And today, she's only 43 minutes late.

212
00:24:03,443 --> 00:24:07,280
Am I supposed
to congratulate myself on that?

213
00:24:09,366 --> 00:24:11,952
I tell you, Irina,
my patience is at an end.

214
00:24:12,035 --> 00:24:14,788
This time, I shall go to Lermontov
and I shall explain to him...

215
00:24:14,871 --> 00:24:17,958
how no theater is big enough
to hold both you and me!

216
00:24:18,041 --> 00:24:20,335
- I might as well start packing.
- Oh, there is no hurry.

217
00:24:20,418 --> 00:24:24,131
After all, he might choose
to dispense with my services.

218
00:24:24,214 --> 00:24:26,383
He is quite crazy enough.

219
00:24:26,466 --> 00:24:30,053
But if we go, we go together,
Grischa darling. Promise?

220
00:24:30,137 --> 00:24:32,055
<i>Kukushka.</i>

221
00:24:33,140 --> 00:24:35,350
- Who are you?
- Victoria Page.

222
00:24:35,433 --> 00:24:38,770
I expect Mr. Lermontov
has spoken to you about me.

223
00:24:38,854 --> 00:24:41,815
- He's invited me to come here —
- No, this is too much.

224
00:24:41,898 --> 00:24:44,317
He invites them.
I teach them.

225
00:24:44,401 --> 00:24:47,154
I get rid of them.
He forgets them.

226
00:24:47,237 --> 00:24:51,241
<i>And now, unhappy girl, will you please
go to the far corner of the stage...</i>

227
00:24:51,324 --> 00:24:54,327
where you'll meet
five other young ladies...

228
00:24:54,411 --> 00:24:59,541
to whom Mr. Lermontov
has also extended his hospitality.

229
00:25:00,876 --> 00:25:03,795
Jacquie. Jacquie!

230
00:25:03,879 --> 00:25:05,380
<i>Encore!</i>

231
00:25:11,428 --> 00:25:13,430
<i>Quiet, please!</i>

232
00:25:16,933 --> 00:25:20,312
I want to rehearse the first act
of <i>Heart of Fire.</i>

233
00:25:20,395 --> 00:25:23,190
Will everybody not concerned
leave the stage, please?

234
00:25:23,273 --> 00:25:25,483
<i>Righto, boys. Stand back, what.</i>

235
00:25:25,567 --> 00:25:27,569
<i>Hurry.</i>

236
00:25:30,697 --> 00:25:33,658
Is that so? Well, I agree.

237
00:25:36,786 --> 00:25:39,039
Where are you going, my dear?

238
00:25:39,122 --> 00:25:41,249
I'm going to talk to Mr. Lermontov.

239
00:25:41,333 --> 00:25:45,045
Don't you think it would be better
to wait until after the rehearsal?

240
00:25:45,128 --> 00:25:48,048
Oh, no, that's all right.
You see, I know him personally.

241
00:25:48,131 --> 00:25:51,218
Oh, well, that makes
all the difference, of course.

242
00:25:51,301 --> 00:25:53,220
<i>- Ratov!</i>
- Yes, Boris?

243
00:25:53,303 --> 00:25:56,223
No, stay where you are.
I'll come up.

244
00:26:05,315 --> 00:26:07,234
Good morning, Mr. Lermontov.

245
00:26:07,317 --> 00:26:09,194
- Good morning, Ratov.
- Boris.

246
00:26:09,277 --> 00:26:12,697
<i>Look here, we must do something
about this foreground piece here.</i>

247
00:26:12,781 --> 00:26:16,243
The girls last night had hardly room
to move. Ljubov was right, after all.

248
00:26:16,326 --> 00:26:19,079
- Aha, Ljubov —
- Ljubov is always right. We know.

249
00:26:19,162 --> 00:26:21,414
- Do you really think so?
- Yes.

250
00:26:21,498 --> 00:26:24,668
Well, well, well.
Take it away.

251
00:26:24,751 --> 00:26:26,670
Take it away.

252
00:26:32,008 --> 00:26:35,971
Well, you see, my dear,
Mr. Lermontov is a very busy man.

253
00:26:36,054 --> 00:26:40,558
Now, why don't you go and wait
over there with the others?

254
00:26:40,642 --> 00:26:42,560
- Ivan, are you ready?
<i>- Yes.</i>

255
00:26:42,644 --> 00:26:44,437
Yes, I will.

256
00:26:44,521 --> 00:26:46,773
- Sergei Sergeivitch.
- Yes?

257
00:26:46,856 --> 00:26:49,109
Are you acquainted
with either the works...

258
00:26:49,192 --> 00:26:52,112
or person of Julian Craster,
composer and conductor?

259
00:26:52,195 --> 00:26:54,281
- No.
- Nor I.

260
00:26:54,364 --> 00:26:57,784
Which proves, my dear fellow,
how sadly we lag behind the times.

261
00:26:57,867 --> 00:27:00,287
For here he is in our midst.

262
00:27:00,370 --> 00:27:02,080
Lermontov has engaged him this morning.

263
00:27:35,405 --> 00:27:37,324
<i>Ronde de jamb. E —</i>

264
00:28:00,263 --> 00:28:02,265
Class dismiss.

265
00:28:35,382 --> 00:28:37,967
No, gentlemen.
Figure 29, sing.

266
00:28:38,051 --> 00:28:41,513
I think that will do.

267
00:28:41,596 --> 00:28:44,057
Thank you, gentlemen.

268
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:47,060
The brass could do
with your attention, Craster.

269
00:28:47,143 --> 00:28:49,062
Tomorrow.

270
00:29:03,493 --> 00:29:06,329
Gentlemen, I'm very sorry to bring you
here so early in the morning.

271
00:29:07,997 --> 00:29:11,418
But I've been in front for this particular
ballet on more than one occasion...

272
00:29:11,501 --> 00:29:13,211
and I really must —

273
00:29:17,841 --> 00:29:20,427
There are one or two things
I really must put right.

274
00:29:20,510 --> 00:29:24,180
So, um, <i>Heart of Fire</i> overture, please.

275
00:29:26,182 --> 00:29:28,143
From the beginning.

276
00:29:29,185 --> 00:29:31,438
Oh, by the way, trumpets...

277
00:29:31,521 --> 00:29:34,357
two bars before figure two —

278
00:29:34,441 --> 00:29:37,193
<i>Have you got an E-natural?</i>

279
00:29:37,277 --> 00:29:39,112
No, I've got an E-flat.

280
00:29:39,195 --> 00:29:41,531
Ah, makes all the difference,
doesn't it?

281
00:29:41,614 --> 00:29:45,076
It should be E-natural.
Right, from the beginning.

282
00:29:58,673 --> 00:30:01,301
Gentlemen, I know it's difficult to get
your lips set at this time of the morning...

283
00:30:01,384 --> 00:30:03,303
but still we ought to be able
to come in together.

284
00:30:03,386 --> 00:30:06,055
<i>And even more pianissimo.
Less strings.</i>

285
00:30:06,139 --> 00:30:07,640
"A," oboe.

286
00:30:15,231 --> 00:30:17,609
From the beginning, please.

287
00:30:45,762 --> 00:30:48,431
- That's nice.
- Mr. Craster!

288
00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:52,185
Precisely what is going on?

289
00:30:52,268 --> 00:30:55,188
I can only suppose that you've
taken leave of your senses.

290
00:30:55,271 --> 00:30:58,525
Do you realize that by calling
the orchestra one hour early...

291
00:30:58,608 --> 00:31:00,527
that we shall have to pay them?

292
00:31:00,610 --> 00:31:03,613
And why are you rehearsing
<i>Heart of Fire?</i>

293
00:31:03,696 --> 00:31:06,866
Did I ever ask you to do that?
Tell me. I'm interested.

294
00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:10,703
- Well —
- I'm sure Mr. Lermontov will be interested too.

295
00:31:12,830 --> 00:31:14,749
Well?

296
00:31:14,832 --> 00:31:17,043
- I like it.
- You like it?

297
00:31:17,126 --> 00:31:20,547
I have no doubt you also like
the national anthem and the "Marseillaise."

298
00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:23,341
I hope you're not thinking of summoning
the full orchestra at dawn...

299
00:31:23,424 --> 00:31:25,718
to practice those noble melodies.

300
00:31:28,263 --> 00:31:30,848
Well, I leave this young man
to you, Lermontov.

301
00:31:30,932 --> 00:31:34,769
<i>After all, he is your discovery,
not mine.</i>

302
00:31:34,852 --> 00:31:38,189
Mr. Craster, I must ask you
to exercise in future...

303
00:31:38,273 --> 00:31:41,442
a little more control
over your natural ambitions.

304
00:31:41,526 --> 00:31:45,905
Why you should have chosen <i>Heart of Fire</i>
for this early morning escapade —

305
00:31:45,989 --> 00:31:47,907
Good morning, gentlemen —

306
00:31:47,991 --> 00:31:51,119
is a mystery
that I shall never hope to solve.

307
00:31:51,202 --> 00:31:54,622
May I see that wrong note
in the score, please?

308
00:31:57,375 --> 00:32:01,337
Mmm. However, there are
passages in <i>Heart of Fire...</i>

309
00:32:01,421 --> 00:32:04,549
which no one need be ashamed of.

310
00:32:04,632 --> 00:32:06,593
Thank you, Mr. Lermontov.

311
00:32:18,438 --> 00:32:20,440
Good morning, Miss Page.

312
00:32:20,523 --> 00:32:22,942
Oh, good morning, Evans.
Is Lord Oldham with you?

313
00:32:23,026 --> 00:32:25,778
Yes, miss.
Be careful, miss.

314
00:32:27,989 --> 00:32:29,949
Good morning, Peter.

315
00:32:30,033 --> 00:32:32,035
Oh, hello, Vicky.
What are you doing here?

316
00:32:32,118 --> 00:32:34,621
- What are you?
- I'm having lunch with Boris Lermontov.

317
00:32:34,704 --> 00:32:36,789
You know, the fellow
who runs the ballet here.

318
00:32:36,873 --> 00:32:38,791
Oh. Business or pleasure?

319
00:32:38,875 --> 00:32:41,628
Oh, a bit of both.
What about you — shopping or slumming?

320
00:32:41,711 --> 00:32:45,590
<i>Now don't you worry, Grischa.
I'll bring her back at 3:00.</i>

321
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,136
- How are you, madame?
- How are you?

322
00:32:50,219 --> 00:32:52,847
Hello, Peter.
I hope we haven't kept you waiting.

323
00:32:52,930 --> 00:32:55,808
No, not at all. Oh, Boris, I don't
think you've met a friend of mine.

324
00:32:55,892 --> 00:32:57,935
<i>- Vicky Page.</i>
- How do you do?

325
00:33:01,522 --> 00:33:04,233
- Can we give you a lift anywhere?
- No, thank you, Peter.

326
00:33:04,317 --> 00:33:06,235
Excuse me, Miss Page.

327
00:33:08,905 --> 00:33:11,699
<i>Who? Victoria Page?</i>

328
00:33:11,783 --> 00:33:15,662
<i>Mmm, yes, she may dance.</i>

329
00:35:30,379 --> 00:35:33,299
Good morning,
my dear young ladies.

330
00:35:33,382 --> 00:35:36,302
I hope I find you all
very well this morning.

331
00:35:36,385 --> 00:35:39,472
There are just one or two things
I would like to say to you today.

332
00:35:39,555 --> 00:35:42,099
As you know,
the ballet is leaving on Saturday for Paris.

333
00:35:42,183 --> 00:35:44,310
Now, I can't imagine
anything more enchanting...

334
00:35:44,393 --> 00:35:48,147
than being able to invite you —
all of you — to accompany us there.

335
00:35:48,231 --> 00:35:51,150
But I'm afraid
this great pleasure must be denied me.

336
00:35:51,234 --> 00:35:54,153
To those whom we must
regretfully leave behind...

337
00:35:54,237 --> 00:35:57,657
I'd like to say just this —
please, don't be discouraged.

338
00:35:57,740 --> 00:36:01,661
The fact that we can't take you with us
doesn't mean that you are bad dancers.

339
00:36:01,744 --> 00:36:05,957
It means that this year, unfortunately,
we haven't got enough room.

340
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,251
Now will you please step out,
Miss Fane, and you, Miss Baynes...

341
00:36:08,334 --> 00:36:10,253
<i>and you, Miss Hardiman
and Miss Lovitt, please?</i>

342
00:36:15,341 --> 00:36:17,176
Yes.

343
00:36:17,260 --> 00:36:20,638
May I thank you four ladies very much
for the hard work you've done this year...

344
00:36:20,721 --> 00:36:23,975
and I'm sure my gratitude
is echoed here by Mr. Ljubov.

345
00:36:24,058 --> 00:36:27,228
Yes, and maybe next year
we shall be meeting you again.

346
00:36:27,311 --> 00:36:28,646
Good morning.

347
00:36:28,729 --> 00:36:31,649
<i>Vicky, he means us!</i>

348
00:38:08,412 --> 00:38:09,914
Listen.

349
00:38:11,082 --> 00:38:12,583
<i>Mes amis.</i>

350
00:38:13,584 --> 00:38:16,420
I am <i>fiancée.</i>
I get married.

351
00:38:18,004 --> 00:38:20,299
My dear child.

352
00:38:20,383 --> 00:38:24,303
All my love and best wishes
for your happiness.

353
00:38:31,352 --> 00:38:33,312
Irina, my little horror...

354
00:38:33,396 --> 00:38:36,565
I wish you the greatest happiness
with your new partner.

355
00:38:36,649 --> 00:38:38,901
<i>Merci,</i> but Grischa —
Where is Grischa?

356
00:38:38,985 --> 00:38:41,779
- I am here, Irina.
- Grischa darling, do you hate me?

357
00:38:41,862 --> 00:38:46,367
I could never hate you, Irina,
but how can I ever forgive you?

358
00:38:46,450 --> 00:38:49,161
Ah, you will forgive me.
That I know.

359
00:38:49,245 --> 00:38:51,998
Don't quarrel with your poor husband as much
as you've quarreled with your conductor.

360
00:38:52,081 --> 00:38:55,418
But where is Boris Lermontov?
He has nothing to say to me?

361
00:38:57,753 --> 00:38:59,755
Boris!

362
00:39:02,842 --> 00:39:06,804
He has no heart, that man.

363
00:39:46,135 --> 00:39:48,095
<i>Entrez.</i>

364
00:39:49,805 --> 00:39:52,558
Mr. Craster, I have a job for you.

365
00:39:52,641 --> 00:39:54,560
Good.

366
00:39:54,643 --> 00:39:58,856
Do I understand you have not been
altogether very happy with us so far?

367
00:39:58,939 --> 00:40:01,067
- Well, I —
- Well, what?

368
00:40:01,150 --> 00:40:06,072
Well, coaching an orchestra is not exactly
a young composer's dream, is it?

369
00:40:06,155 --> 00:40:11,077
I'm afraid the job I have for you may not be
exactly a young composer's dream either.

370
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,915
All the same, I hope you do not consider
it entirely unworthy of your talent.

371
00:40:20,419 --> 00:40:25,174
<i>The ballet of</i> The Red Shoes
<i>is from a fairy tale by Hans —</i>

372
00:40:29,637 --> 00:40:32,681
<i>...red shoes.</i>

373
00:40:36,644 --> 00:40:38,687
Oh, I beg your pardon.

374
00:40:39,855 --> 00:40:44,110
The ballet of <i>The Red Shoes</i>
is from a fairy tale by Hans Andersen.

375
00:40:45,111 --> 00:40:48,114
It is the story of a girl
who's devoured by an ambition...

376
00:40:48,197 --> 00:40:51,909
to attend a dance in a pair of red shoes.

377
00:40:51,992 --> 00:40:54,620
She gets the shoes,
goes to the dance —

378
00:40:54,703 --> 00:40:56,789
At first, all goes well
and she's very happy.

379
00:40:58,541 --> 00:41:01,460
<i>At the end of the evening,
she gets tired...</i>

380
00:41:01,544 --> 00:41:03,587
<i>and wants to go home.</i>

381
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,135
But the red shoes...

382
00:41:09,218 --> 00:41:11,637
are not tired.

383
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:14,807
In fact, the red shoes
are never tired.

384
00:41:14,890 --> 00:41:18,269
They dance her
out into the streets.

385
00:41:18,352 --> 00:41:20,980
They dance her over
the mountains and valleys...

386
00:41:21,063 --> 00:41:24,066
through fields and forests,
through night and day.

387
00:41:27,236 --> 00:41:29,155
Time rushes by.

388
00:41:29,238 --> 00:41:31,323
Love rushes by.

389
00:41:31,407 --> 00:41:34,076
Life rushes by.

390
00:41:35,411 --> 00:41:38,581
But the red shoes dance on.

391
00:41:39,957 --> 00:41:42,793
- What happens in the end?
- Oh, in the end, she dies.

392
00:41:42,877 --> 00:41:45,838
- Yes, I remember.
- The music was written by Felipe Bertrán.

393
00:41:45,921 --> 00:41:49,508
He did it for us last year
during our South American tour.

394
00:41:49,592 --> 00:41:52,636
You'll find here some passages
marked with a blue pencil.

395
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:55,181
They are bad, and I would
like to see, Mr. Craster...

396
00:41:55,264 --> 00:41:58,517
what you can do in the way
of a little... rewriting.

397
00:41:58,601 --> 00:42:01,520
- Oh.
- You can take your time.

398
00:42:01,604 --> 00:42:03,314
- There is no hurry.
- Thank you.

399
00:42:05,858 --> 00:42:08,068
<i>Oui, je viens.</i>

400
00:42:08,152 --> 00:42:10,154
<i>Thank you.</i>

401
00:42:55,616 --> 00:42:59,828
Ah, look at our Boronskaja.
She's in wonderful form tonight.

402
00:42:59,912 --> 00:43:03,082
I'm not interested
in Boronskaja's form anymore...

403
00:43:03,165 --> 00:43:07,086
nor in the form of any other prima ballerina
who's imbecile enough to get married.

404
00:43:07,169 --> 00:43:09,213
Oh, come now, Boris.

405
00:43:09,296 --> 00:43:12,216
<i>She's out, finished.</i>

406
00:43:16,512 --> 00:43:19,265
You cannot have it both ways.

407
00:43:19,348 --> 00:43:23,352
The dancer who relies upon
the doubtful comforts of human love...

408
00:43:23,435 --> 00:43:26,772
<i>will never be a great dancer.</i>

409
00:43:26,855 --> 00:43:28,774
<i>Never.</i>

410
00:43:38,784 --> 00:43:41,662
That is all very fine, Boris,
very pure and fine.

411
00:43:41,745 --> 00:43:43,956
But you can't alter human nature.

412
00:43:44,039 --> 00:43:47,209
No? I think you can do
even better than that.

413
00:43:47,293 --> 00:43:49,211
You can ignore it.

414
00:44:16,238 --> 00:44:18,324
Boris.

415
00:44:18,407 --> 00:44:19,950
<i>Adieu.</i>

416
00:44:23,912 --> 00:44:28,751
<i>Well, Irina, now you'll be able
to sleep as long as you like...</i>

417
00:44:28,834 --> 00:44:31,337
and eat sweets all day...

418
00:44:31,420 --> 00:44:33,964
and go to parties every night.

419
00:44:34,048 --> 00:44:39,011
And you, now you will be calm.
The class will start on time.

420
00:44:39,094 --> 00:44:43,098
No more shouting.
No more hysteria backstage.

421
00:44:43,182 --> 00:44:45,768
- No more —
- No more Irina.

422
00:45:09,625 --> 00:45:13,295
<i>Ah, Monsieur Lermontov.</i>

423
00:45:24,056 --> 00:45:25,974
Miss Page.

424
00:45:27,851 --> 00:45:29,561
<i>Are you very tired?</i>

425
00:45:29,645 --> 00:45:33,315
Yes, thank you.
I mean, I'm not very tired.

426
00:45:33,399 --> 00:45:37,027
<i>Messieurs, je vous présente</i>
Miss Victoria Page.

427
00:45:37,111 --> 00:45:39,405
<i>Monsieur Boudin,
le directeur général de l'opéra.</i>

428
00:45:39,488 --> 00:45:41,907
<i>- Mes hommages, mademoiselle.
- Monsieur Rideaut, le régisseur.</i>

429
00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:43,909
<i>Enchanté, mademoiselle.</i>

430
00:45:43,992 --> 00:45:48,205
You have already visited Monte Carlo,
mademoiselle?

431
00:45:48,288 --> 00:45:50,416
Yes, I was here
last season with my aunt.

432
00:45:50,499 --> 00:45:53,085
<i>Oh, then you know the Hôtel de Paris,
mademoiselle?</i>

433
00:45:53,168 --> 00:45:55,087
Yes, but I believe I'm staying —

434
00:45:55,170 --> 00:45:58,215
Hôtel de Paris.
You'll be very comfortable there.

435
00:46:13,397 --> 00:46:16,608
<i>La voiture de Monsieur Lermontov
vous attende,</i> Miss Page.

436
00:46:24,867 --> 00:46:27,202
<i>Bonsoir, mademoiselle.</i>

437
00:47:31,934 --> 00:47:33,977
<i>Montez, mademoiselle.</i>

438
00:48:51,013 --> 00:48:52,973
<i>You look dressed up for a conference.</i>

439
00:48:53,056 --> 00:48:55,350
Hello. Is there a conference on?

440
00:48:55,434 --> 00:48:58,228
Yes. They're all arguing in there.
I've been here since 7:00.

441
00:48:59,313 --> 00:49:03,025
Oh, there you are, Miss Page.
Will you come in here, please?

442
00:49:13,452 --> 00:49:17,331
I was just going out, Mr. Lermontov,
when I got your message.

443
00:49:26,715 --> 00:49:28,634
Miss Page.

444
00:49:29,676 --> 00:49:34,348
I have asked you to come here tonight
because we are preparing a new ballet...

445
00:49:35,390 --> 00:49:39,394
<i>and I've decided to give you a chance
and let you dance the principal part in it.</i>

446
00:49:41,063 --> 00:49:43,982
But there's one thing
I must tell you at once.

447
00:49:44,066 --> 00:49:49,154
My belief in your possibilities
is not shared by my colleagues here.

448
00:49:53,575 --> 00:49:56,161
However, it is hardly necessary
for me to add...

449
00:49:56,244 --> 00:50:00,666
that, whatever their personal belief may be,
they will all give you their best.

450
00:50:00,749 --> 00:50:03,502
<i>The rest, of course, is up to you.</i>

451
00:50:04,795 --> 00:50:07,631
Well, Miss Page, that's all.

452
00:50:07,714 --> 00:50:10,550
We shall start work
early tomorrow morning.

453
00:50:10,634 --> 00:50:14,262
I suggest you now forget all about
your party and go straight home to bed.

454
00:50:15,430 --> 00:50:17,683
Yes, I will.

455
00:50:22,604 --> 00:50:24,606
<i>And, Miss Page...</i>

456
00:50:26,733 --> 00:50:28,652
good luck.

457
00:50:28,735 --> 00:50:30,737
Thank you.

458
00:50:34,241 --> 00:50:36,159
Well, what happened?

459
00:50:37,953 --> 00:50:40,330
I've got a part in a new ballet.

460
00:50:40,414 --> 00:50:42,916
A new ballet? What ballet?

461
00:50:42,999 --> 00:50:45,252
<i>The Red Shoes!</i>

462
00:50:48,213 --> 00:50:50,424
Now listen to this, Mr. Craster.
It is impossible.

463
00:50:51,967 --> 00:50:54,886
Well, I couldn't rewrite that bit,
could I?

464
00:50:54,970 --> 00:50:57,431
- Why not?
- You didn't blue-pencil it.

465
00:50:57,514 --> 00:51:00,392
Horrors like that don't need to be blue-penciled.
They speak for themselves.

466
00:51:00,475 --> 00:51:03,395
Well, as a matter of fact,
I did have some ideas about that.

467
00:51:03,478 --> 00:51:06,064
Where are they, my dear fellow?
We need a score.

468
00:51:06,148 --> 00:51:08,233
If you'll allow me.

469
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,239
Well, it's the church scene.

470
00:51:14,322 --> 00:51:16,575
Let's get rid
of this sentimental hymn tune...

471
00:51:16,658 --> 00:51:18,744
and take a foursquare chorale.

472
00:51:18,827 --> 00:51:20,746
Something like this.

473
00:51:27,669 --> 00:51:30,338
Then, I thought, all the way through,
we might have a church bell coming in.

474
00:51:41,767 --> 00:51:43,769
All of a sudden, the strings —

475
00:51:47,856 --> 00:51:50,859
Then as the priest appears,
it's taken up with the brass.

476
00:51:59,534 --> 00:52:02,454
Shall I play you
"The Dance of the Red Shoes"?

477
00:52:08,794 --> 00:52:11,713
Thank you, Mr. Craster.
Thank you.

478
00:52:15,634 --> 00:52:18,011
This time, I want you
to change everything.

479
00:52:18,094 --> 00:52:20,597
I want a new score.

480
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,433
There you are, Mr. Lermontov.

481
00:52:23,517 --> 00:52:26,186
And where's the orchestration?

482
00:52:26,269 --> 00:52:28,647
- When do you want it?
- Yesterday.

483
00:52:28,730 --> 00:52:30,982
You said you wanted to work, didn't you?
Then go home and work.

484
00:52:31,066 --> 00:52:33,276
I don't want to see your face anywhere
until you've finished it.

485
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,070
You won't!

486
00:52:59,553 --> 00:53:01,680
Why aren't you in bed?

487
00:53:01,763 --> 00:53:05,225
- Oh, you gave me quite a fright.
- I meant to.

488
00:53:09,771 --> 00:53:11,690
Why aren't you in bed?

489
00:53:11,773 --> 00:53:14,693
I was ordered to, but I was
much too excited to sleep.

490
00:53:14,776 --> 00:53:17,529
- So here I am.
- Are you? I haven't seen you.

491
00:53:17,612 --> 00:53:20,657
- Thank you.
- By the way, you haven't seen me either.

492
00:53:20,740 --> 00:53:23,076
Has he sent you to bed too?

493
00:53:23,159 --> 00:53:27,122
No, I'm just working on the score
of my new ballet — <i>The Red Shoes.</i>

494
00:53:28,665 --> 00:53:31,376
Is that my ballet too?

495
00:53:31,459 --> 00:53:34,045
Yes, I suppose it is.

496
00:53:49,978 --> 00:53:52,898
I wonder what it feels like
to wake up in the morning...

497
00:53:52,981 --> 00:53:55,066
and find oneself famous.

498
00:53:55,150 --> 00:53:58,695
You're not likely to know
if you stay here talking much longer.

499
00:53:58,778 --> 00:54:00,697
So, good luck.

500
00:54:01,698 --> 00:54:03,658
Good luck.

501
00:54:54,209 --> 00:54:56,544
She's putting too much into it.

502
00:54:56,628 --> 00:54:58,797
Why don't you tell her, Grischa?

503
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,132
Mind your own business.

504
00:55:01,216 --> 00:55:04,803
She has to dance with me
at the dance at the fair before this.

505
00:55:04,886 --> 00:55:06,805
And the big stuff still to come.

506
00:55:06,888 --> 00:55:10,809
<i>She can't dance everything full out.
She ought to know that.</i>

507
00:55:10,892 --> 00:55:13,603
How do you expect her
to know it, Ivan Ivanovitch...

508
00:55:13,687 --> 00:55:16,523
if you never once dance full out yourself
before the opening night?

509
00:55:22,904 --> 00:55:26,157
Here are the designs
for the costumes, Boris.

510
00:55:26,241 --> 00:55:28,660
One moment.
Sit down, will you, please?

511
00:55:32,122 --> 00:55:35,667
I'm so sorry, Mr. Ljubov.
Something will have to be done about the music.

512
00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:37,961
She starts the pirouette
a beat too early.

513
00:55:38,044 --> 00:55:40,588
The tempo's wrong.
It's too fast.

514
00:55:40,672 --> 00:55:43,133
- It's the right tempo.
- Of course.

515
00:55:43,216 --> 00:55:45,593
Once more!

516
00:55:51,433 --> 00:55:53,518
She'll be all right.

517
00:55:53,601 --> 00:55:55,520
I hope so.

518
00:55:55,603 --> 00:55:57,689
Still unconverted, Sergei?

519
00:55:57,772 --> 00:56:01,651
Well, of course,
she's a charming girl, but —

520
00:56:01,735 --> 00:56:04,529
Oh, I know nothing about her charms,
and I care less.

521
00:56:04,612 --> 00:56:07,240
But I tell you, they won't wait till the end.
They'll applaud in the middle.

522
00:56:08,223 --> 00:56:12,454
- Oh, come now.
- Sergei, I'll take a bet.

523
00:56:12,537 --> 00:56:14,539
Oh, enough, enough!

524
00:56:16,124 --> 00:56:21,046
Miss Page, we are trying
to create something of beauty.

525
00:56:21,129 --> 00:56:24,132
Might I suggest that while you continue
to wave your arms like a scarecrow...

526
00:56:24,215 --> 00:56:26,885
<i>and bend your knees
like an old cart horse...</i>

527
00:56:26,968 --> 00:56:29,471
we are unlikely to succeed!

528
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,894
Well, well, it's a bet.

529
00:56:36,977 --> 00:56:39,064
Come on, let me see your sketches.

530
00:56:41,316 --> 00:56:44,319
The girl.

531
00:56:44,402 --> 00:56:48,364
Déjeuner. Rendez-vous à deux heures.

532
00:56:59,417 --> 00:57:02,128
<i>Monsieur Ljubov est un animal.</i>

533
00:57:21,898 --> 00:57:24,234
Do you still think I can do it?

534
00:57:24,317 --> 00:57:27,695
Well, at the moment, you look as if
you are finding it a little difficult.

535
00:57:27,779 --> 00:57:29,489
But when we open in two weeks' time...

536
00:57:29,572 --> 00:57:32,242
I hope you'll appear to be finding
the whole thing supremely simple.

537
00:57:34,577 --> 00:57:36,913
And don't forget,
a great impression of simplicity...

538
00:57:36,996 --> 00:57:40,917
can only be achieved
by great agony of body and spirit.

539
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,628
<i>- Voilà.</i>
- Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.

540
00:57:43,711 --> 00:57:47,215
You don't want to ruin
your breathing, do you?

541
00:57:47,298 --> 00:57:49,342
No.

542
00:57:49,425 --> 00:57:52,053
And from today, I've arranged that you
shall have your lunch in my office.

543
00:57:52,137 --> 00:57:54,139
Craster.

544
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,230
Now, will you sit
over there, please?

545
00:58:03,313 --> 00:58:05,650
<i>Merci.</i> Mr. Craster, at the piano.

546
00:58:05,733 --> 00:58:08,319
Do you usually have a musical accompaniment
to your meals, Mr. Lermontov?

547
00:58:08,403 --> 00:58:10,363
No, Miss Page, I do not.

548
00:58:10,446 --> 00:58:13,992
But I'm afraid this is going to be
your fate for the next two weeks.

549
00:58:14,075 --> 00:58:16,995
Mr. Craster is going to play
<i>The Red Shoes</i> music for you...

550
00:58:17,078 --> 00:58:20,748
at every lunch, tea and dinner
you take until we open.

551
00:58:20,832 --> 00:58:22,834
I see.

552
00:58:22,917 --> 00:58:27,255
Yes. In this way, you should become
quite familiar with the music.

553
00:58:27,338 --> 00:58:30,008
Yes, I think I probably shall.

554
00:58:30,091 --> 00:58:33,261
The music is all that matters.
Nothing but the music.

555
00:58:33,344 --> 00:58:35,263
Huh? Mr. Craster?

556
00:58:35,346 --> 00:58:37,599
- Certainly.
<i>- Bon appétit.</i>

557
00:58:41,436 --> 00:58:43,438
<i>- À votre service, mademoiselle.
- Merci.</i>

558
00:58:47,609 --> 00:58:50,778
Some composers specialize
in lunchtime music, don't they?

559
00:58:50,862 --> 00:58:52,780
Some.

560
00:58:52,864 --> 00:58:54,782
<i>You?</i>

561
00:58:54,866 --> 00:58:56,868
In my time.

562
00:59:03,958 --> 00:59:06,961
Look, do you mind not playing that
just at the moment, please?

563
00:59:07,045 --> 00:59:09,005
It's the right tempo.

564
00:59:10,506 --> 00:59:12,842
<i>Let's take the ballroom scene.</i>

565
00:59:12,926 --> 00:59:15,845
<i>That's the most digestible
part of the score.</i>

566
00:59:15,929 --> 00:59:17,889
The ballroom's out. It's been cut.

567
00:59:17,972 --> 00:59:22,518
Cut as a scene,
but it's still there in my score.

568
00:59:23,645 --> 00:59:25,813
I wrote this dance for a ballroom.

569
00:59:25,897 --> 00:59:29,984
<i>Anyone who understands anything
about music will see a ballroom.</i>

570
00:59:38,910 --> 00:59:41,663
Even Lermontov will see a ballroom.

571
00:59:41,746 --> 00:59:44,290
Even you.

572
00:59:44,374 --> 00:59:47,418
And when you're lifted up
into the air by your partner...

573
00:59:47,502 --> 00:59:50,004
my music will transform you.

574
00:59:50,088 --> 00:59:52,006
Into what?

575
00:59:53,675 --> 00:59:57,011
A flower swaying in the wind.

576
00:59:58,513 --> 01:00:01,099
A cloud drifting in the sky.

577
01:00:02,267 --> 01:00:04,769
A white bird flying.

578
01:00:04,852 --> 01:00:07,355
Tell that to Ratov.

579
01:00:07,438 --> 01:00:10,191
He would love your birds and flowers.

580
01:00:10,275 --> 01:00:13,194
- You don't?
- If you were a dancer, you'd know —

581
01:00:13,278 --> 01:00:17,949
Just a minute.
Nothing matters but the music!

582
01:00:18,032 --> 01:00:20,785
And it's hard enough
to get off the ground anyway...

583
01:00:20,868 --> 01:00:22,996
without being a bird or a flower.

584
01:00:27,709 --> 01:00:30,461
Aren't you going to imagine
anything on the first night?

585
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,634
Yes, a wall between me and the audience.

586
01:00:48,855 --> 01:00:51,774
My music will pull you through it.

587
01:01:24,182 --> 01:01:26,267
Tia!

588
01:01:26,351 --> 01:01:29,937
Miss Page, I am not a circus conductor,
and you are not a horse.

589
01:01:30,021 --> 01:01:33,024
- It's too fast.
<i>- You would not find it too fast —</i>

590
01:01:33,107 --> 01:01:36,069
- Both of you!
- You would not find it too fast...

591
01:01:36,152 --> 01:01:39,530
if you would allow the slow passage to come
to an end before you start your pirouette.

592
01:01:39,614 --> 01:01:42,200
My downbeat marks a pause.

593
01:01:42,283 --> 01:01:44,786
We understand it, don't we, gentlemen?
<i>N'est-ce pas?</i>

594
01:01:44,869 --> 01:01:48,206
<i>- You come in on the second beat.</i>
- Impossible.

595
01:01:48,289 --> 01:01:52,418
<i>One, two. Tia, tia!
It's quite simple.</i>

596
01:01:52,502 --> 01:01:54,879
- You see this baton?
- Yes.

597
01:01:54,962 --> 01:01:57,131
Well, follow it!

598
01:01:59,759 --> 01:02:01,677
Oh!

599
01:02:37,338 --> 01:02:39,298
- Good luck.
- Good luck.

600
01:02:40,842 --> 01:02:43,428
Vicky. Vicky.

601
01:02:43,511 --> 01:02:46,180
Dance whatever tempo you like.
I'll follow you.

602
01:02:50,476 --> 01:02:52,770
All right, Ivan.

603
01:02:52,854 --> 01:02:55,106
- Time to go down, Craster.
- Good luck, Mr. Craster.

604
01:02:55,189 --> 01:02:57,108
- Thank you, Mr. Lermontov.
- Nervous?

605
01:02:57,191 --> 01:02:59,444
- No.
- Come on!

606
01:03:08,161 --> 01:03:10,079
Do I —

607
01:03:10,163 --> 01:03:13,541
What the devil have you got
to worry about? It's a fine score.

608
01:03:13,624 --> 01:03:15,543
- Is it?
- A magnificent score.

609
01:03:15,626 --> 01:03:18,296
I only wish I — Go on.

610
01:03:57,710 --> 01:04:00,046
- Grischa.
<i>- Tout est dans le chaos, Boris!</i>

611
01:04:00,129 --> 01:04:01,964
Chaos, chaos, chaos!

612
01:04:02,048 --> 01:04:04,550
- Grischa.
- Oh, Boris!

613
01:04:06,093 --> 01:04:08,012
<i>Mon Dieu!</i>
The red shoes!

614
01:04:08,095 --> 01:04:10,348
- What?
- The red shoes are not there!

615
01:04:10,431 --> 01:04:13,351
Monsieur Rideaut, what have you
done with the red shoes?

616
01:04:13,434 --> 01:04:16,479
<i>- Mais, Monsieur Ljubov —</i>
- Don't waste your time. Where are they?

617
01:04:16,562 --> 01:04:19,023
Are you sure you haven't
hidden them yourself?

618
01:04:19,106 --> 01:04:22,693
No, no, no, no.
Yes! Fool, fool!

619
01:04:22,777 --> 01:04:24,278
<i>Monsieur Lermontov!</i>

620
01:04:24,362 --> 01:04:26,614
<i>Miss Page est dans un état.
Elle est si nerveuse.</i>

621
01:04:26,697 --> 01:04:28,199
<i>Oh! Ça alors!</i>

622
01:04:32,036 --> 01:04:34,288
Boris, look here.

623
01:04:34,372 --> 01:04:37,041
- Elephants. Clumsy elephants.
- Shh.

624
01:04:37,124 --> 01:04:39,710
- They have ruined my decor.
- Calm yourself, Sergei.

625
01:04:39,794 --> 01:04:42,672
But the door, the door.
It won't shut.

626
01:04:42,755 --> 01:04:44,882
- Then somebody must hold it.
- Who? But who?

627
01:04:44,966 --> 01:04:47,218
The call boy will have
nothing to do then anyway.

628
01:04:47,301 --> 01:04:50,304
- Dimitri, get the call boy.
- Give it to me. Hold the door.

629
01:04:52,181 --> 01:04:55,226
- Best of luck, Miss Page.
- I can't even remember my first entrance.

630
01:04:55,309 --> 01:04:57,562
Oh, you mean you think
you can't remember it.

631
01:04:57,645 --> 01:05:00,856
What about this?

632
01:05:00,940 --> 01:05:04,068
Yes, that's it.
It's all right when I hear the music.

633
01:05:04,151 --> 01:05:06,070
Since you are undoubtedly
going to hear the music...

634
01:05:06,153 --> 01:05:08,072
it's undoubtedly going to be all right.

635
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,451
The music is all that matters
and nothing but the music.

636
01:05:13,828 --> 01:05:16,414
If I had any doubts about you at all,
I should be nervous.

637
01:05:16,497 --> 01:05:18,708
- Am I nervous?
- No.

638
01:05:18,791 --> 01:05:20,751
You're not dancing for an audience.

639
01:05:20,835 --> 01:05:23,045
You are dancing for Ljubov, Ratov, myself —

640
01:05:23,129 --> 01:05:26,215
people for whom you've been
dancing many times before.

641
01:05:26,299 --> 01:05:29,302
I believed in you
from the very beginning.

642
01:05:29,385 --> 01:05:31,721
But now everybody does.

643
01:05:31,804 --> 01:05:35,182
I want you to dance tonight
with the same ecstasy...

644
01:05:35,266 --> 01:05:37,602
I've seen in you only once before.

645
01:05:37,685 --> 01:05:40,521
At the Mercury Theatre?

646
01:05:40,605 --> 01:05:43,441
Yes, at the Mercury Theatre in London...

647
01:05:43,524 --> 01:05:45,568
on a wet Saturday afternoon.

648
01:05:45,651 --> 01:05:47,862
<i>- Forty seconds.</i>
- Coming.

649
01:05:50,531 --> 01:05:52,450
Good luck, my dear.

650
01:05:52,533 --> 01:05:56,787
You're a magician, Boris, to have produced
all this in three weeks, and from nothing.

651
01:05:56,871 --> 01:05:59,957
Not even the best magician in the world
can produce a rabbit out of a hat...

652
01:06:00,041 --> 01:06:02,168
if there isn't already
a rabbit in the hat.

653
01:06:22,730 --> 01:06:26,108
It's a pity the theater only holds 300.

654
01:06:26,192 --> 01:06:29,695
We could have filled
the Albert Hall tonight.

655
01:06:29,779 --> 01:06:33,908
But what we are creating tonight, the whole
world will be talking of tomorrow morning.

656
01:06:37,161 --> 01:06:38,954
Good boy.

657
01:06:40,081 --> 01:06:41,499
Rideaut.

658
01:24:05,917 --> 01:24:10,213
<i>Ça va?</i> Any swelling?
I mean the head.

659
01:24:10,296 --> 01:24:15,218
All that clapping, bravos, roses.
Poof! All that's nothing.

660
01:24:15,301 --> 01:24:19,681
But when I, who have seen
Pavlova, Karsarvina dance...

661
01:24:19,764 --> 01:24:22,642
tell you that last night
you were not bad —

662
01:24:22,726 --> 01:24:24,936
not good, but not bad —

663
01:24:25,019 --> 01:24:26,980
that's something.

664
01:24:30,150 --> 01:24:35,280
Now I tell you truth.
It was... good.

665
01:24:35,363 --> 01:24:38,366
- Thank you, Mr. Ljubov.
- My name is Grischa.

666
01:24:38,450 --> 01:24:42,620
- Mine is Vicky.
- How do you do?

667
01:24:42,704 --> 01:24:44,664
Arm straighter. So.

668
01:24:45,665 --> 01:24:47,917
Boris Lermontov wants to see you.

669
01:24:48,001 --> 01:24:50,587
Why in class time? Why?

670
01:25:21,201 --> 01:25:23,161
Silence!

671
01:25:23,244 --> 01:25:26,539
E — <i>Bras.</i>

672
01:25:28,124 --> 01:25:30,043
<i>- More cables, Boris Lermontov.</i>
- Hello, hello?

673
01:25:30,126 --> 01:25:32,712
- Yes. Who is it? Oh, it's you!
<i>- Monsieur Lermontov —</i>

674
01:25:32,796 --> 01:25:35,465
<i>Une seconde. Je vous en prie.</i>
No, no, no. It's fine.

675
01:25:35,548 --> 01:25:39,636
Thank you so much for ringing me.
You are not disturbing me at all.

676
01:25:39,719 --> 01:25:42,639
- I always have time for congratulations.
<i>- Monsieur Lermontov —</i>

677
01:25:46,017 --> 01:25:48,311
Oh, yes, I agree. The music —

678
01:25:49,094 --> 01:25:50,313
<i>Monsieur Lermontov —</i>

679
01:25:50,396 --> 01:25:53,650
A most distinguished score.

680
01:25:55,819 --> 01:25:57,320
<i>- Monsieur Craster?
- Oui.</i>

681
01:25:57,403 --> 01:26:00,490
<i>Yes. Of course he's under contract to me.</i>

682
01:26:00,573 --> 01:26:03,368
<i>Yes. He's going to.
He's starting on a new ballet.</i>

683
01:26:03,451 --> 01:26:05,787
Right away.
Full of gaiety and charm.

684
01:26:05,870 --> 01:26:08,289
<i>La Belle Meunière,</i>
book by Marcel Lucien.

685
01:26:08,373 --> 01:26:09,666
Go away.

686
01:26:09,749 --> 01:26:13,127
Yes. Oh, yes.
It's a wonderful role for her.

687
01:26:13,211 --> 01:26:15,672
<i>- Au revoir, Lermontov.
- Au revoir, chère madame.</i>

688
01:26:15,755 --> 01:26:19,259
Not this season. Next season.

689
01:26:19,342 --> 01:26:22,345
<i>Au revoir, Monsieur.
Merci beaucoup. Merci beaucoup.</i>

690
01:26:22,428 --> 01:26:26,474
Yes, it was very kind of you to ring me.
Thank you so much again. Thank you very much.

691
01:26:26,558 --> 01:26:28,726
No more calls.
Not even congratulations.

692
01:26:32,313 --> 01:26:36,484
Where are the Paris papers?
Thank you very much. Here.

693
01:26:39,654 --> 01:26:42,991
Well, Mr. Craster, that's all.
Thank you very much. I am proud of you.

694
01:26:43,074 --> 01:26:46,244
- Mr. Lermontov, I would like to tell you —
- Some other time, Mr. Craster, I beg of you.

695
01:26:46,327 --> 01:26:48,621
- Ah, yes. <i>La Belle Meunière.</i>
Do you read French?
- Yes.

696
01:26:48,705 --> 01:26:51,332
- Read it, and we'll have a talk
about it some other time.
- Good-bye.

697
01:26:55,044 --> 01:26:57,005
<i>Mademoiselle Page.</i>

698
01:26:57,088 --> 01:27:00,884
<i>Come in, Miss Page.
Come in. Sit down.</i>

699
01:27:00,967 --> 01:27:03,136
I want to talk to you
about your future.

700
01:27:06,723 --> 01:27:10,226
When we first met
at Lady Neston's...

701
01:27:10,310 --> 01:27:12,562
you asked me a question
to which I gave a stupid answer.

702
01:27:12,645 --> 01:27:15,648
You asked me whether I wanted
to live, and I said yes.

703
01:27:15,732 --> 01:27:18,443
Actually, Miss Page,
I want more, much more.

704
01:27:18,526 --> 01:27:22,614
I want to create — to make something big
out of something little —

705
01:27:24,449 --> 01:27:27,035
to make a great dancer... out of you.

706
01:27:28,077 --> 01:27:30,747
<i>But first, I must ask you
the same question.</i>

707
01:27:30,830 --> 01:27:33,082
<i>What do you want from life?</i>

708
01:27:33,166 --> 01:27:35,084
<i>- To live?</i>
- To dance.

709
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:46,137
We have two months left
of the season in Monte Carlo.

710
01:27:46,220 --> 01:27:48,848
Not much time, but enough —
two months.

711
01:27:48,932 --> 01:27:51,309
Then we go on tour.
Rome, Vienna, Copenhagen...

712
01:27:51,392 --> 01:27:53,853
Stockholm, then America.

713
01:27:53,937 --> 01:27:56,189
Then next year, London again.

714
01:27:56,272 --> 01:28:00,109
All the big parts for you.
<i>Coppélia, Lac des Cygnes, Giselle...</i>

715
01:28:00,193 --> 01:28:02,403
<i>The Sleeping Princess,
Les Sylphides, La Boutique.</i>

716
01:28:02,487 --> 01:28:06,282
We will create them all afresh with you.
You shall dance.

717
01:28:06,366 --> 01:28:10,286
And the world shall follow.
You shall —

718
01:28:10,370 --> 01:28:14,707
Not a word.
I will do the talking.

719
01:28:15,750 --> 01:28:19,128
You... will do the dancing.

720
01:28:44,737 --> 01:28:46,489
Ah! Victoria Page.

721
01:28:50,159 --> 01:28:52,662
- Good night, Boris.
<i>- Good night, Grischa.</i>

722
01:28:52,745 --> 01:28:55,164
- She was not bad tonight.
- She'll be all right.

723
01:28:55,248 --> 01:28:57,166
All right? Not bad?

724
01:28:57,250 --> 01:29:00,128
But she's a flame, a spirit!
<i>Une coryphée!</i>

725
01:29:00,211 --> 01:29:04,173
Still not enough, Grischa?

726
01:29:04,257 --> 01:29:06,175
- Good night, Boris.
<i>- Good night, Sergei.</i>

727
01:29:06,259 --> 01:29:08,928
Vicky was wonderful in <i>Boutique.</i>

728
01:29:09,012 --> 01:29:13,182
Just a little Dresden shepherdess.

729
01:29:13,266 --> 01:29:15,518
<i>We should reconstruct the theater.</i>

730
01:29:15,601 --> 01:29:18,187
- What's wrong with the theater?
- It's too small.

731
01:29:18,271 --> 01:29:20,940
- Good night, Lermontov.
<i>- Good night, Livy.</i>

732
01:29:21,024 --> 01:29:24,027
- Her timing's a miracle.
- Keep her up to it.

733
01:30:23,294 --> 01:30:25,713
<i>- Good night, Boris.</i>
- Good night, Grischa.

734
01:30:27,632 --> 01:30:30,676
<i>- Good night, Boris.</i>
- Good night, Sergei.

735
01:30:32,303 --> 01:30:35,139
<i>- Good night, Mr. Lermontov.</i>
- Good night, Vicky.

736
01:31:31,219 --> 01:31:33,531
<i>Good night, Boris.</i>

737
01:31:33,614 --> 01:31:36,284
Good night, Sergei.

738
01:31:36,367 --> 01:31:38,828
Eh, thank you, Monsieur Boudin.
That's all.

739
01:31:38,911 --> 01:31:41,164
<i>- Good night, Boris.</i>
- Good night, Grischa.

740
01:31:41,247 --> 01:31:43,166
- Boudin.
<i>- Oui?</i>

741
01:31:43,249 --> 01:31:47,170
Tell me, which is esteemed to be the very
best restaurant this year on the coast?

742
01:31:47,253 --> 01:31:49,505
<i>- La Reserve.
- Oui, oui. La Reserve.</i>

743
01:31:49,589 --> 01:31:52,049
<i>- Good night, Lermontov.</i>
- Good night, Livy.

744
01:31:53,551 --> 01:31:55,469
Book me a table.

745
01:31:58,014 --> 01:32:01,517
- For... two?
- Yes.

746
01:32:05,521 --> 01:32:07,690
- Julian.
<i>- Yes?</i>

747
01:32:07,773 --> 01:32:09,692
I never said good night
to Lermontov.

748
01:32:09,775 --> 01:32:12,528
Monsieur Dimitri?
No, Miss Page has still not come in.

749
01:32:13,821 --> 01:32:17,325
Monsieur Ratov?
Uh, not here either.

750
01:32:17,408 --> 01:32:20,661
Monsieur Ljubov? 317 — no.

751
01:32:23,122 --> 01:32:25,458
Ah, Monsieur Dimitri,
I have just heard.

752
01:32:25,541 --> 01:32:29,045
They've all gone to supper at the old port
at Villefranche with Monsieur Ljubov.

753
01:32:29,128 --> 01:32:31,797
<i>C'est son anniversaire!</i>
His birthday.

754
01:33:00,743 --> 01:33:02,662
<i>Formidable!</i>

755
01:33:05,665 --> 01:33:08,042
<i>Voilà!</i>

756
01:33:10,635 --> 01:33:12,004
<i>Mes chéris!</i>

757
01:33:12,088 --> 01:33:14,090
<i>Just pour the wine.</i>

758
01:33:23,849 --> 01:33:26,852
<i>- Voici le gâteau!
- Voilà!</i>

759
01:33:46,237 --> 01:33:47,915
Boris Lermontov!

760
01:33:52,628 --> 01:33:55,965
Good evening, Grischa.
Am I permitted to join your party?

761
01:33:56,048 --> 01:33:59,302
Get me a chair!
What a pleasure, Boris! <i>Quelle joie!</i>

762
01:33:59,385 --> 01:34:01,721
A chair for Boris Lermontov!

763
01:34:01,804 --> 01:34:04,140
Two chairs for Boris Lermontov!

764
01:34:04,223 --> 01:34:06,309
Make way there. A throne!

765
01:34:06,392 --> 01:34:08,644
A throne for the great Boleslawsky.
Take mine, Lermontov.

766
01:34:08,728 --> 01:34:10,980
- Oh, no. Take mine.
- No, you sit down. It's your birthday.

767
01:34:11,063 --> 01:34:12,773
Sit down.

768
01:34:13,899 --> 01:34:19,613
Well, it seems a long time since I sat
down to supper with my entire family.

769
01:34:20,656 --> 01:34:22,575
Thank you.

770
01:34:32,501 --> 01:34:38,257
But it appears that the great Miss Page
is not with us tonight.

771
01:34:38,341 --> 01:34:42,261
Don't you miss another member
of our happy little family?

772
01:34:44,513 --> 01:34:47,350
No. No. I can't say I do.

773
01:34:47,433 --> 01:34:51,312
Why should you? You're a busy man.
Have a drink, Lermontov!

774
01:34:54,065 --> 01:34:56,567
Grischa. <i>À ta santé.</i>

775
01:34:56,650 --> 01:35:00,154
Of course we all know
you're a busy man, Boris Lermontov...

776
01:35:00,237 --> 01:35:03,449
but do you mean to tell me
you have noticed nothing?

777
01:35:03,532 --> 01:35:06,035
Oh, don't exaggerate.

778
01:35:06,118 --> 01:35:09,830
Boris, we have a little romance
in our midst.

779
01:35:09,914 --> 01:35:11,457
A great romance!

780
01:35:11,540 --> 01:35:13,918
Romeo Craster!

781
01:35:14,001 --> 01:35:15,961
And Juliet... Page.

782
01:35:18,130 --> 01:35:21,717
And when...
did this great romance begin?

783
01:35:21,801 --> 01:35:24,387
<i>With</i> The Red Shoes.

784
01:35:26,639 --> 01:35:28,599
Charming.

785
01:35:29,809 --> 01:35:31,894
And where have they taken
themselves tonight?

786
01:35:31,977 --> 01:35:35,398
What does it matter
where they have gone?

787
01:35:35,481 --> 01:35:37,858
They are young,
they are together...

788
01:35:37,942 --> 01:35:40,903
<i>and they are in love.</i>

789
01:36:11,267 --> 01:36:14,270
- Darling.
- Mm-hmm?

790
01:36:14,353 --> 01:36:17,773
I've decided I do believe
in destiny after all.

791
01:36:17,857 --> 01:36:20,067
Do you, my darling?

792
01:36:20,151 --> 01:36:22,069
I'm very glad.

793
01:36:30,327 --> 01:36:32,246
<i>Cocher.</i>

794
01:36:34,957 --> 01:36:36,876
<i>Cocher.</i>

795
01:36:41,547 --> 01:36:44,842
- You'll wake him.
- But I want to know where we are.

796
01:36:47,470 --> 01:36:49,847
<i>Cocher. Co —</i>

797
01:37:03,068 --> 01:37:06,280
One day when I'm old...

798
01:37:06,363 --> 01:37:09,074
I want some lovely
young girl to say to me...

799
01:37:10,784 --> 01:37:14,663
"Tell me where in your long life,
Mr. Craster...

800
01:37:14,747 --> 01:37:16,916
were you most happy."

801
01:37:18,292 --> 01:37:22,004
And I shall say, "Well, my dear...

802
01:37:22,087 --> 01:37:24,840
"I never knew the exact place...

803
01:37:24,924 --> 01:37:28,636
"but it was somewhere
on the Mediterranean.

804
01:37:28,719 --> 01:37:31,847
I was with Victoria Page."

805
01:37:31,931 --> 01:37:34,016
"What?" she will say.

806
01:37:34,099 --> 01:37:37,603
"Do you mean the famous dancer?"

807
01:37:37,686 --> 01:37:40,022
I will nod.

808
01:37:40,105 --> 01:37:43,150
"Yes, my dear, I do...

809
01:37:43,234 --> 01:37:45,694
"but then she was quite young...

810
01:37:45,778 --> 01:37:49,406
"and comparatively unspoiled.

811
01:37:49,490 --> 01:37:51,867
"We were, I remember...

812
01:37:53,452 --> 01:37:55,496
very much in love."

813
01:38:37,997 --> 01:38:42,251
Did you see that?
She smiled at Craster.

814
01:38:42,334 --> 01:38:43,586
I don't think so.

815
01:38:43,669 --> 01:38:46,005
I suppose you'll be sending me
to an oculist next.

816
01:38:51,552 --> 01:38:56,098
- Watch her dancing.
- With pleasure.

817
01:38:57,766 --> 01:39:01,395
A debutante at a charity matinee.

818
01:39:09,612 --> 01:39:12,531
<i>Yes. Yes!</i>

819
01:39:14,116 --> 01:39:16,452
Yes, all right. Thursday.

820
01:39:16,535 --> 01:39:19,121
Uh, good evening, Mr. Lermontov.

821
01:39:19,204 --> 01:39:24,084
I'm afraid the score is still a bit rough,
but I see you've had time to look at it.

822
01:39:24,168 --> 01:39:26,045
Yes, Mr. Craster.

823
01:39:27,421 --> 01:39:29,381
I have looked at it.

824
01:39:31,967 --> 01:39:36,221
However, it is not about your music
that I wish to talk at the moment.

825
01:39:36,305 --> 01:39:40,934
So to come to the point, what is all this
I hear about you and Miss Page?

826
01:39:42,311 --> 01:39:44,229
Oh, I see.

827
01:39:45,230 --> 01:39:47,983
- Could Dimitri —
- Get out.

828
01:39:48,067 --> 01:39:50,736
Well, Mr. Craster?

829
01:39:55,115 --> 01:39:57,284
Yes. We're in love.

830
01:40:00,079 --> 01:40:01,997
I see.

831
01:40:03,415 --> 01:40:06,502
Did you see Miss Page's performance
in <i>Lac des Cygnes?</i>

832
01:40:06,585 --> 01:40:08,462
I was conducting.

833
01:40:08,545 --> 01:40:12,508
<i>- Did you enjoy it?</i>
- I think it was the loveliest thing
I've ever seen in my life.

834
01:40:12,591 --> 01:40:14,843
It was impossible.

835
01:40:15,928 --> 01:40:18,681
And do you know
why it was impossible?

836
01:40:18,764 --> 01:40:22,142
Because neither her mind
nor her heart were in her work.

837
01:40:22,226 --> 01:40:25,104
She was... dreaming.

838
01:40:25,187 --> 01:40:29,274
<i>And dreaming is a luxury
I've never permitted in my company.</i>

839
01:40:29,358 --> 01:40:32,569
<i>Miss Page wants to be a great dancer.</i>

840
01:40:32,653 --> 01:40:36,532
<i>- Perhaps she has spoken to you
about her... ambitions?</i>
- Oh, yes.

841
01:40:36,615 --> 01:40:40,369
She's not, however, a great dancer yet.

842
01:40:40,452 --> 01:40:42,871
Nor is she likely to become one
if she allows herself...

843
01:40:42,955 --> 01:40:45,374
to be sidetracked by idiotic flirtations.

844
01:40:47,584 --> 01:40:50,337
Mr. Lermontov, you... don't understand.

845
01:40:51,630 --> 01:40:54,174
We really are in love.

846
01:40:59,221 --> 01:41:01,598
And, Mr. Craster...

847
01:41:02,641 --> 01:41:04,893
I have had time to look
at your latest effort —

848
01:41:04,977 --> 01:41:08,605
- Yes?
- and find it equally impossible.

849
01:41:19,908 --> 01:41:23,078
That's not true. It's good.

850
01:41:23,162 --> 01:41:28,125
Childish, vulgar
and completely insignificant.

851
01:41:29,668 --> 01:41:32,296
In that case, I'll relieve you of it.

852
01:41:32,379 --> 01:41:35,132
There are, of course,
so many first-class ballet companies...

853
01:41:35,215 --> 01:41:38,427
to which you may take it
with advantage.

854
01:41:38,510 --> 01:41:40,804
I don't know that it's my greatest ambition
to work for the ballet.

855
01:41:41,972 --> 01:41:45,017
<i>Some of us think it's rather
a second-rate means of expression.</i>

856
01:41:49,897 --> 01:41:53,901
<i>- Oui, Monsieur Lermontov?</i>
- Mr. Craster's leaving the company.

857
01:41:53,984 --> 01:41:57,738
Pay him two weeks' salary
and get the receipt.

858
01:42:15,214 --> 01:42:17,549
Spotlight! <i>Sur moi.</i>

859
01:42:17,633 --> 01:42:19,635
<i>Toujours sur moi.</i>

860
01:42:27,726 --> 01:42:30,687
Oh, hello, Boris.
I was just coming to say good night.

861
01:42:30,771 --> 01:42:32,815
- Good night.
- Is anything the matter, Boris?

862
01:42:32,898 --> 01:42:37,027
No, no. But before I forget it,
don't do any more work on the new ballet.

863
01:42:37,110 --> 01:42:40,155
- I decided to scrap it.
- Scrap it?

864
01:42:40,239 --> 01:42:44,618
What do you mean? I've worked out
half the choreography already.

865
01:42:44,701 --> 01:42:47,579
That boy Julian is really gifted.

866
01:42:47,663 --> 01:42:49,873
It's one of the finest scores
we ever had.

867
01:42:49,957 --> 01:42:52,167
Julian Craster is leaving the company...

868
01:42:52,251 --> 01:42:54,670
and I don't wish
to discuss the matter any further.

869
01:42:54,753 --> 01:42:57,548
Oh, you don't? Well, I do!

870
01:42:57,631 --> 01:43:00,968
Do you think I don't know
a brilliant score when I hear one?

871
01:43:01,051 --> 01:43:04,304
Do you think I've been working
day and night for weeks...

872
01:43:04,388 --> 01:43:08,851
for the pleasure of being told
I am wasting my time?

873
01:43:08,934 --> 01:43:10,853
I tell you, Boris...

874
01:43:10,936 --> 01:43:16,191
I've had enough of this
fantastic lunatic asylum!

875
01:43:16,275 --> 01:43:20,153
I am through with it! I resign!

876
01:43:21,905 --> 01:43:24,950
I think you've made
a very important decision.

877
01:43:39,006 --> 01:43:42,926
Hello, you two.
Isn't love wonderful?

878
01:43:46,597 --> 01:43:48,974
<i>Bonsoir, Julian.</i>

879
01:43:49,057 --> 01:43:50,934
Hello.

880
01:43:55,772 --> 01:43:57,566
Well, what did he say?

881
01:43:57,649 --> 01:44:01,695
Ah, of course he doesn't
really want you to go, Grischa.

882
01:44:01,778 --> 01:44:03,739
He is very sorry.

883
01:44:03,822 --> 01:44:07,701
Well, in that case,
I will... think about it.

884
01:44:07,784 --> 01:44:10,621
What about Julian?

885
01:44:10,704 --> 01:44:15,083
I have never seen him
quite as bad as this.

886
01:44:15,167 --> 01:44:21,006
He talked a great deal
about ingratitude and, uh, disloyalty...

887
01:44:21,089 --> 01:44:24,760
<i>and he said when personal relations
started to inter —</i>

888
01:44:24,843 --> 01:44:27,804
Yes, I know that bit.

889
01:44:27,888 --> 01:44:32,267
My dear children, I'm very sorry.

890
01:44:34,311 --> 01:44:36,897
Boris may feel different
in the morning.

891
01:44:36,980 --> 01:44:41,818
In the morning,
he's leaving for Paris by the 8:15 train.

892
01:45:12,391 --> 01:45:14,893
Has the famous Miss Page
come to see me off?

893
01:45:16,186 --> 01:45:18,480
I'd like to talk to you.

894
01:45:27,447 --> 01:45:30,158
I want you to tell me
why you've quarreled with Julian.

895
01:45:30,242 --> 01:45:31,702
There's only three minutes.

896
01:45:31,785 --> 01:45:34,913
May I suggest, Miss Page, that
such matters are hardly your business?

897
01:45:37,833 --> 01:45:40,252
However, since you've gone
to all this trouble —

898
01:45:43,588 --> 01:45:48,218
Mr. Craster's been unwise enough
to interfere with certain plans of mine.

899
01:45:49,553 --> 01:45:52,055
And that is something I do not permit.

900
01:45:53,348 --> 01:45:55,267
I thought once, Mr. Lermontov...

901
01:45:55,350 --> 01:45:58,103
that there would be no room in my life
for anything but dancing.

902
01:45:59,187 --> 01:46:01,606
You will think so again, my dear.

903
01:46:01,690 --> 01:46:04,151
But if Julian goes, I shall go too.

904
01:46:07,154 --> 01:46:09,197
And what exactly
do you intend to do?

905
01:46:09,281 --> 01:46:13,452
- I shall dance somewhere else.
- Oh, yes.

906
01:46:13,535 --> 01:46:16,038
That won't be very difficult
with the name I've given you —

907
01:46:17,289 --> 01:46:21,084
always provided I release you
of your contract.

908
01:46:22,294 --> 01:46:27,174
But even if I do,
will it be quite the same?

909
01:46:28,925 --> 01:46:30,927
I have never pretended
to myself that it would.

910
01:46:34,306 --> 01:46:37,392
I could make you
one of the greatest dancers...

911
01:46:37,476 --> 01:46:40,353
the world has ever known.

912
01:46:42,814 --> 01:46:47,486
<i>- Do you believe that?</i>
- Yes, I do.

913
01:46:49,905 --> 01:46:51,823
And all that means nothing to you?

914
01:46:53,825 --> 01:46:55,744
You know exactly what it means to me.

915
01:47:01,932 --> 01:47:03,210
<i>The train is leaving.</i>

916
01:47:06,254 --> 01:47:08,673
Good-bye, Mr. Lermontov.

917
01:47:14,346 --> 01:47:16,223
Miss Page is coming!

918
01:47:24,356 --> 01:47:27,359
<i>Julian! Julian!</i>

919
01:47:30,695 --> 01:47:32,405
I'm coming with you!

920
01:47:32,489 --> 01:47:35,200
Hurrah!

921
01:48:31,506 --> 01:48:33,008
Fool.

922
01:48:35,468 --> 01:48:36,970
Fool.

923
01:48:39,806 --> 01:48:41,308
Fool!

924
01:49:21,223 --> 01:49:23,141
Come in.

925
01:49:23,225 --> 01:49:26,061
You are late.
I hope you didn't work too hard.

926
01:49:26,144 --> 01:49:29,397
All finished.
I have the injunction with me.

927
01:50:00,136 --> 01:50:03,390
Boris, don't tell me
you've changed your mind again.

928
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:13,984
I — I don't want
to stop her doing anything.

929
01:50:15,068 --> 01:50:17,028
She can dance when and where she likes.

930
01:50:18,446 --> 01:50:21,866
<i>- Except</i> The Red Shoes.
- What about the boy?

931
01:50:21,950 --> 01:50:25,245
That's different. Everything he's written
while under contract to me is mine.

932
01:50:25,328 --> 01:50:29,499
That's in the contract. <i>The Red Shoes</i>
and his work so far on <i>La Belle Meunière.</i>

933
01:50:29,582 --> 01:50:32,627
I am not interested
in anything else he may write.

934
01:50:32,711 --> 01:50:36,798
But if you keep <i>The Red Shoes</i> in the repertoire,
you'll have to pay him royalties.

935
01:50:36,881 --> 01:50:40,093
<i>The Red Shoes</i> is no longer
in the repertoire!

936
01:50:40,176 --> 01:50:42,095
Oh.

937
01:50:49,644 --> 01:50:52,564
I understand Patrick Trevelyan
is in Paris.

938
01:50:53,982 --> 01:50:57,277
Yes. I dined with them both last night.

939
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:01,823
Oh? Boronskaja is with him?

940
01:51:01,906 --> 01:51:05,702
<i>Yes. Anything I can do?</i>

941
01:51:05,785 --> 01:51:08,079
How's the marriage? A success?

942
01:51:08,163 --> 01:51:11,333
Patrick seems to think so.

943
01:51:11,416 --> 01:51:14,336
Would you like me to arrange
a meeting with Irina?

944
01:51:15,587 --> 01:51:17,589
Not arrange.

945
01:51:19,257 --> 01:51:21,259
By chance.

946
01:51:51,122 --> 01:51:52,874
Oh, Boris!

947
01:52:25,156 --> 01:52:28,243
<i>- Good night, Boris.</i>
- Good night, Irina.

948
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:33,581
- Good season?
- With the Ballet Lermontov, always.

949
01:52:35,166 --> 01:52:36,626
<i>Good night, Boris.</i>

950
01:52:36,709 --> 01:52:38,211
Good night, Sergei.

951
01:52:38,294 --> 01:52:40,088
- Sergei!
<i>- Yes?</i>

952
01:52:40,171 --> 01:52:43,258
- Would you come in and wait, please?
- Yes, of course, Boris.

953
01:52:48,012 --> 01:52:51,599
<i>- Good night, Boris.
- Grischa, please come in and wait.</i>

954
01:52:53,101 --> 01:52:55,395
Ah. Conference.

955
01:53:04,529 --> 01:53:06,364
Letters.

956
01:53:07,365 --> 01:53:11,411
- Nobody writes to me.
- That's not true.

957
01:53:11,494 --> 01:53:13,872
Yours, from Vicky.

958
01:53:14,998 --> 01:53:16,916
<i>- From Vicky?
- Mm-hmm.</i>

959
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:19,210
<i>- How is that girl?
- Read it and you'll see.</i>

960
01:53:20,420 --> 01:53:23,756
And this is from Julian.
It's all about his new opera.

961
01:53:26,217 --> 01:53:28,178
He describes the whole structure.

962
01:53:30,346 --> 01:53:32,974
<i>Enormous talent, that boy.</i>

963
01:53:36,102 --> 01:53:38,521
He says...

964
01:53:38,605 --> 01:53:40,565
she's an inspiration —

965
01:53:42,650 --> 01:53:44,235
a miracle.

966
01:53:44,319 --> 01:53:47,906
- Thank you, Mr. Boudin. That's all. Good night.
<i>- Merci. Bonsoir.</i>

967
01:53:47,989 --> 01:53:50,992
<i>Well, I see it's mail day.</i>

968
01:53:51,075 --> 01:53:53,786
From our two young rebels.

969
01:53:53,870 --> 01:53:56,039
Deserters.

970
01:53:56,122 --> 01:53:58,166
I hope they're happy.

971
01:53:58,249 --> 01:54:01,211
- Read, Boris.
- Yes, read this too.

972
01:54:01,294 --> 01:54:04,547
It might make you sorry
to have lost that young man.

973
01:54:04,631 --> 01:54:08,092
I doubt it.
By the way, that reminds me.

974
01:54:08,176 --> 01:54:12,514
Jacques sent me the new score
of <i>La Belle Meunière.</i>

975
01:54:12,597 --> 01:54:15,517
I like it, and I'd like you all
to hear it at once.

976
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:18,686
- We might open with it in London.
- With Irina?

977
01:54:18,770 --> 01:54:23,566
We can discuss that.
The part is light, all gaiety, fire.

978
01:54:24,859 --> 01:54:26,778
Perhaps you would be good enough
to glance through it.

979
01:54:26,861 --> 01:54:30,615
- And no prejudice, please.
<i>- I hope you say it to yourself sometimes.</i>

980
01:54:30,698 --> 01:54:33,952
- Every day. Eh, good night, children.
<i>- Good night.</i>

981
01:54:34,035 --> 01:54:36,120
<i>- Good night.</i>
- On second thought...

982
01:54:36,204 --> 01:54:38,164
I think I would like
to read those letters.

983
01:54:45,755 --> 01:54:49,884
My letter was only meant
to be read by me.

984
01:54:49,968 --> 01:54:52,387
- See you later, Boris.
- Good night, Sergei.

985
01:55:02,355 --> 01:55:05,233
I could hardly let him read it.

986
01:55:05,316 --> 01:55:08,069
She calls him a monster —

987
01:55:08,152 --> 01:55:10,572
a gifted, cruel monster.

988
01:55:11,255 --> 01:55:12,865
You should have told him that.

989
01:59:41,759 --> 01:59:44,470
I am sorry to be late,
Boris Lermontov.

990
01:59:49,851 --> 01:59:51,811
Lady Neston was in front tonight.

991
01:59:53,771 --> 01:59:57,692
She arrived this morning.
She is staying for several weeks.

992
01:59:58,568 --> 02:00:02,363
And Miss Page is joining her next week
for a short holiday.

993
02:00:34,020 --> 02:00:36,856
We seem to be destined
to meet at railway stations.

994
02:00:36,939 --> 02:00:39,191
<i>- Vite! Vite!</i>
- What are you doing in Cannes?

995
02:00:39,275 --> 02:00:41,777
Waiting for you, of course.
Won't you sit down?

996
02:00:50,161 --> 02:00:52,371
But you know, my dear Vicky...

997
02:00:52,455 --> 02:00:54,874
how I'm always looking
for great dancers.

998
02:01:01,714 --> 02:01:04,258
We all have missed you...

999
02:01:04,342 --> 02:01:09,680
and I was hoping that by now you would
have started to miss us a little.

1000
02:01:09,764 --> 02:01:12,350
I have.

1001
02:01:12,433 --> 02:01:14,852
You only have to say the word.

1002
02:01:17,605 --> 02:01:19,565
- How is everybody?
- Including me?

1003
02:01:19,649 --> 02:01:21,567
- Including you.
- Never better.

1004
02:01:21,651 --> 02:01:24,111
- How is Grischa?
- Always fighting with Boronskaja.

1005
02:01:24,195 --> 02:01:26,280
- And she?
- Always fighting with Grischa.

1006
02:01:26,364 --> 02:01:28,616
- And how is old Sergei?
- Getting younger.

1007
02:01:28,699 --> 02:01:31,369
<i>- And you?</i>
- Getting older.

1008
02:01:31,452 --> 02:01:33,955
And you? You are happy?

1009
02:01:34,038 --> 02:01:35,998
Yes. Very happy.

1010
02:01:37,875 --> 02:01:42,922
<i>- As a dancer, I mean.</i>
- I haven't danced very much, you know.

1011
02:01:43,005 --> 02:01:46,050
Oh, I know, I know.
I know every time you have danced.

1012
02:01:47,385 --> 02:01:49,971
- But you never stopped working.
- No.

1013
02:01:50,054 --> 02:01:52,431
- And you never stopped going to class.
- Never.

1014
02:01:55,101 --> 02:01:57,770
And why isn't he with you?

1015
02:01:57,853 --> 02:02:01,649
His opera has been accepted at Covent Garden.
It's in rehearsal now.

1016
02:02:01,732 --> 02:02:05,486
<i>- Would he give it up if you ask him?</i>
- I don't know.

1017
02:02:05,569 --> 02:02:07,822
<i>- You do know.</i>
- I wouldn't ask him.

1018
02:02:07,905 --> 02:02:10,783
Then why is he asking you?
Does he know what he's asking?

1019
02:02:19,041 --> 02:02:22,837
We are preparing a new ballet.

1020
02:02:22,920 --> 02:02:25,089
We've been working at it for weeks.

1021
02:02:25,172 --> 02:02:29,135
The costumes and the decor are the most
beautiful things Ratov has ever done.

1022
02:02:29,218 --> 02:02:31,178
Grischa is full of enthusiasm,
and you know what that means.

1023
02:02:38,019 --> 02:02:43,107
Nobody else has ever
danced <i>The Red Shoes</i> since you left.

1024
02:02:44,150 --> 02:02:46,569
Nobody else ever shall.

1025
02:02:48,988 --> 02:02:54,118
Put on the red shoes, Vicky,
and dance for us again.

1026
02:03:02,960 --> 02:03:06,005
This is the BBC Third Programme.

1027
02:03:06,088 --> 02:03:08,841
I am speaking from the Royal Opera House,
Covent Garden, London.

1028
02:03:10,009 --> 02:03:12,887
Tonight is the first night
of <i>Cupid and Psyche...</i>

1029
02:03:12,970 --> 02:03:16,307
a new opera by a young British composer,
Julian Craster...

1030
02:03:16,390 --> 02:03:18,309
whose only well-known work until now...

1031
02:03:18,392 --> 02:03:20,770
has been the score
for the ballet <i>The Red Shoes.</i>

1032
02:03:21,812 --> 02:03:23,981
<i>The Red Shoes</i> was a great success...

1033
02:03:24,065 --> 02:03:27,109
when produced at Monte Carlo last year
with the Ballet Lermontov...

1034
02:03:27,193 --> 02:03:29,487
<i>but has not yet been seen
in this country.</i>

1035
02:03:32,573 --> 02:03:35,242
<i>Oh, something must have
gone wrong, I'm afraid.</i>

1036
02:03:35,326 --> 02:03:38,079
<i>I think somebody is going
to make an announcement.</i>

1037
02:03:38,162 --> 02:03:41,332
<i>Ladies and gentlemen,
I regret to announce...</i>

1038
02:03:41,415 --> 02:03:44,168
<i>that Mr. Julian Craster, the composer...</i>

1039
02:03:44,251 --> 02:03:48,255
<i>who was to conduct his own opera,
has been suddenly taken ill.</i>

1040
02:03:48,339 --> 02:03:52,927
<i>Sir Hartley Menges will conduct in his place.</i>

1041
02:03:54,178 --> 02:03:56,764
Here comes Sir Hartley Menges now.

1042
02:03:56,847 --> 02:03:59,183
<i>I'll announce the names of the cast
during the interval.</i>

1043
02:04:13,531 --> 02:04:16,826
All the way down from London,
I wondered if I'd find you here.

1044
02:04:18,744 --> 02:04:20,955
And here you are.

1045
02:04:21,038 --> 02:04:23,249
You left your first night?

1046
02:04:23,332 --> 02:04:26,836
<i>- Yes.</i>
- Oh, Julian.

1047
02:04:27,962 --> 02:04:29,880
Why didn't you?

1048
02:04:35,594 --> 02:04:37,555
I'm lost without —

1049
02:04:40,391 --> 02:04:43,310
I'm all right now, my sweetheart.

1050
02:04:43,394 --> 02:04:46,730
There's a train going to Paris at 8:00.
We'll be on it together.

1051
02:04:48,232 --> 02:04:50,151
Better hurry up and get changed.

1052
02:04:50,234 --> 02:04:52,194
- But I'm dancing tonight.
- Walk out.

1053
02:04:54,238 --> 02:04:56,615
Good evening, Mr. Craster.

1054
02:04:56,699 --> 02:04:58,784
<i>Won't they be missing you
at Covent Garden tonight?</i>

1055
02:05:00,828 --> 02:05:03,414
Oh, for God's sake,
leave me alone, both of you!

1056
02:05:03,497 --> 02:05:06,083
Please, Julian.
Wait until after the performance.

1057
02:05:06,167 --> 02:05:10,212
- It'll be too late then.
- You are already too late, Mr. Craster.

1058
02:05:10,296 --> 02:05:12,256
Tell him why you've left him.

1059
02:05:12,339 --> 02:05:14,258
- I haven't left him!
- Oh, yes, you have left him.

1060
02:05:14,341 --> 02:05:17,136
Nobody can have two lives,
and your life is dancing.

1061
02:05:17,219 --> 02:05:20,973
Vicky, you could dance
anywhere else in the whole world.

1062
02:05:21,056 --> 02:05:23,767
Would you be satisfied
with anything less than the best?

1063
02:05:23,851 --> 02:05:26,353
If you would, you would never be
a great artist. Perhaps you never will.

1064
02:05:26,437 --> 02:05:30,608
And would you make her
a great dancer as well? Never.

1065
02:05:30,691 --> 02:05:34,069
Why do you think I've waited day after day
since you snatched her away from me...

1066
02:05:34,153 --> 02:05:36,155
for a chance to win her back?

1067
02:05:36,238 --> 02:05:38,782
- Because you're jealous of her.
- Yes!

1068
02:05:38,866 --> 02:05:42,661
I am, but in a way
that you will never understand.

1069
02:05:45,372 --> 02:05:46,999
Wait!

1070
02:05:52,296 --> 02:05:54,006
<i>Well, Vicky?</i>

1071
02:05:54,089 --> 02:05:57,718
I love <i>you,</i> Julian. Nobody but you!

1072
02:06:00,804 --> 02:06:03,390
<i>But you love that more.</i>

1073
02:06:03,474 --> 02:06:06,393
I don't know! I don't know!

1074
02:06:08,729 --> 02:06:11,899
If you go with him now,
I will never take you back. Never!

1075
02:06:11,982 --> 02:06:15,361
Vicky, do you want
to destroy our love?

1076
02:06:15,444 --> 02:06:17,529
Adolescent nonsense.

1077
02:06:17,613 --> 02:06:21,742
All right. Go, then. Go with him.

1078
02:06:21,825 --> 02:06:25,246
Be a faithful housewife...

1079
02:06:25,329 --> 02:06:29,458
with a crowd of screaming children
and finish with dancing forever!

1080
02:06:29,541 --> 02:06:31,710
Vicky, look at me.

1081
02:06:51,021 --> 02:06:54,316
<i>Good-bye then, my darling.</i>

1082
02:06:57,236 --> 02:06:59,196
Julian! Jul —

1083
02:07:02,658 --> 02:07:05,369
<i>Monsieur Lermontov,
peut-on commencer à l'overture?</i>

1084
02:07:06,537 --> 02:07:08,455
<i>- Oui. Commencer.
- Bon. Bon.</i>

1085
02:07:12,293 --> 02:07:14,920
Vicky.

1086
02:07:15,004 --> 02:07:17,381
Vicky.

1087
02:07:17,464 --> 02:07:19,383
Little Vicky.

1088
02:07:22,553 --> 02:07:25,931
There it is, all waiting for you.

1089
02:07:27,224 --> 02:07:29,810
<i>Sorrow will pass, believe me.</i>

1090
02:07:29,893 --> 02:07:33,147
Life is so unimportant...

1091
02:07:34,732 --> 02:07:40,279
and from now onwards
you will dance...

1092
02:07:40,362 --> 02:07:42,781
like nobody ever before!

1093
02:08:25,115 --> 02:08:27,368
<i>Elle est folle!
Monsieur Lermontov!</i>

1094
02:08:37,044 --> 02:08:39,380
<i>Mademoiselle Page, où allez-vous?</i>

1095
02:09:01,110 --> 02:09:02,236
No!

1096
02:09:49,032 --> 02:09:50,534
Ladies...

1097
02:09:52,244 --> 02:09:53,745
and gentlemen...

1098
02:09:57,749 --> 02:09:59,251
I am sorry...

1099
02:10:00,669 --> 02:10:02,671
to tell you...

1100
02:10:04,506 --> 02:10:06,508
that Miss Page...

1101
02:10:07,634 --> 02:10:09,636
is unable...

1102
02:10:10,721 --> 02:10:13,807
to dance tonight —

1103
02:10:16,560 --> 02:10:21,982
nor indeed... any other night.

1104
02:10:25,319 --> 02:10:27,696
Nevertheless...

1105
02:10:30,240 --> 02:10:32,201
we've decided...

1106
02:10:35,245 --> 02:10:37,164
to present...

1107
02:10:38,248 --> 02:10:40,167
<i>The Red Shoes.</i>

1108
02:10:44,588 --> 02:10:46,590
It is...

1109
02:10:48,091 --> 02:10:50,093
the ballet...

1110
02:10:52,471 --> 02:10:54,473
that made her name...

1111
02:10:55,933 --> 02:10:57,935
<i>whose name...</i>

1112
02:10:59,394 --> 02:11:01,605
<i>she made.</i>

1113
02:11:01,688 --> 02:11:03,732
<i>We...</i>

1114
02:11:03,815 --> 02:11:05,776
<i>present it...</i>

1115
02:11:08,070 --> 02:11:09,988
<i>because...</i>

1116
02:11:13,617 --> 02:11:15,577
<i>we think...</i>

1117
02:11:17,829 --> 02:11:20,999
she would have...

1118
02:11:21,083 --> 02:11:23,001
wished it.

1119
02:12:00,330 --> 02:12:03,208
<i>Pas d'espoir.</i>

1120
02:12:11,091 --> 02:12:13,260
Julian.

1121
02:12:13,343 --> 02:12:15,345
Yes, my darling?

1122
02:12:15,429 --> 02:12:17,598
Take off the red shoes.
