and he'd love to drop you.

Pierre, tell Maurice you'd love to drop him.

I'd love to drop you.

Get in!

Oh, that's fine. Over here!

Thank you.

Just like a millionaire.

Oh no, look at that.

I'm not going to drink that.

My hat!

My hat!

Thank you! Thank you!

Careful, not too fast.

Lover,

when you find me

will you blind me

with your love?

Kiss me... I'll be sighing.

Gently praying, I'll obey.

children playing in the... hey!

He'll be my lord and my master...

I'll be [...]

He'll make my heart beat faster...

Not too fast!

Lover,

when you take me...

and awake me...

I will know.

Lover, you can make me

love you so.

Look out, Mademoiselle!

Look out!

Pierre! You take the horse,

I'll take the lady.

- Mademoiselle, are you hurt?

- Oh, no.

- Mademoiselle, put your arms around me.

- No, thank you, I can manage alone.

Oh! My ankle!

put your arms around.

Do you think I put my arms around

people I don't know?

My name is Maurice.

Oh, that's nothing.

- It's quite unnecessary.

- Don't stand on it yet.

- I'm sure it's better.

- No no no.

- Tell me, do you live down here?

- I often wonder.

No, I said, do you live down here?

I heard you. I wonder if you

can call it living...

Seems so dead.

- I must go.

- Oh no, not right away.

See? One foot wants to go, the other

wants to stay.

They both want to go.

My family is waiting for me.

- But what about me?

- What do you mean, what about you?

I mean I'm stuck here, I can't go. My carriage is in

disrepair and I'm lonely. You can't leave me.

Aren't you a little insane?

Yes! Let me sing for you!

You are insane.

But you sang for me.

I didn't even know you existed.

You don't exist either.

You're a dream.

Oh, give me just a moment.

Just to sing for you, Mimi.

You're mad! And my name is not Mimi.

Yes! I am mad!

My left shoe's on my right foot,

my right shoe's on my left.

Oh listen to me, Mimi.

Of reason I'm bereft.

The buttons of my trousers

are buttoned to my vest.

Listen to me, Mimi.

There's passion in my breast!

Mimi... You funny little good for nothing, Mimi.

Am I the guy?

Mimi, you sunny little honey of a Mimi.

I may be high.

Mimi... you got me sad and dreamy...

You could free me...

If you'd see me...

Mimi... You know I'd like to have a little

Mimi, you sunny little honey of a Mimi.

I may be high.

Mimi, you got me sad and dreamy.

You could free me...

If you'd see me... Mimi...

Thank you.

You think I'm rude? Vulgar?

You know, since you came into my life, I'm not myself.

- Perhaps I'm in love with you!

- Oh really now!

- Afraid? - Of what?

- Of me.

- What conceit...
