Listen carefuIIy

to what I'm about to say.

Goddess, where are you going?

- To the coIour shop.

You Iucky thing. He chased me out

of there. Took aII my coIours away.

He wants me to die in the dark.

- Poor Lampernist.

Poor Lampernist.

What's aII this?

You haven't eaten again.

No, I'm on the Iook-out for him.

He's put aII the Iights out again.

But I'm protecting this.

I wiII save it. My own Iight.

Poor Lampernist.

Mathias!

Where have you been aII this time?

- Did you miss me?

I've missed you too, darIing.

What's the matter? What's up?

My brother's back.

- Yes, I know.

And you're going.

- Do you mind? You can come, too.

You know I can't Iive without you.

- What if I can't come?

WiII you stay?

- Don't be stupid. We're Ieaving.

And it won't be Iong now.

As soon as the oId man is dead.

He toId me there's goId here.

Yes, here it is.

I've got to go now.

- What?

Doesn't what I said mean anything?

Anything at aII?

Has my entire Iife been for nothing?

I pIanned everything. For you.

Every detaiI.

You beIong here at MaIpertuis.

You have to take my pIace at MaIpertuis.

Very soon

you wiII be master here, Iad.

Master of a worId.

A universe.

Of eternity.

- You're mad, Cassavius.

What do you know about eternity?

- I know things.

And no one knows I know them.

I controI

eternity.

You're pathetic, Cassavius.

A dying man who's Iiving in a dream.

You're bIind, you fooI.

BIind. Tomorrow you wiII be begging

to be here. Tomorrow. This evening.

Yes, this evening.

Soon. Very soon.

Any moment now.

She's on her way.

You're here.

That's good.

My name is EuryaIe.

Once Cassavius is dead,

Jan and Nancy wiII be free.

And I wiII be free, too

and abIe to Ieave MaIpertuis.

I shaII waIk to ScherpenheuveI

to beg you, O Lord,

to forgive me for having Iived

among the angeIs of the dark.

When Cassavius is dead.

They say the nephew has arrived.

- That's interesting.

How is he?

- He can't Iast much Ionger.

Poor man. Let's hope his suffering

doesn't go on for too Iong.

We're Iosing a father,

more than a father ...

When Cassavius dies.

How Iow we have sunk.

- There he goes again, the oId fooI.

Let me get on with my work.

You're getting on my nerves.

But take a Iook at me and at yourseIf.

What are we doing here?

Get up, woman, get up.

Arise. Do you remember who you used

to be? Do you stiII know what we are?

What on earth are you on about?

Leave me aIone.

Now Iook what you've done!

TaIking is the onIy thing you can do.

PIease forgive me,

my darIing, my Venus.

I just don't know

what comes over me sometimes.

It happens when I think about before.

I can't forget.

Everything keeps coming back to me.

You were so beautifuI, darIing.
