but there's

opposition from all sides.

Your ideas are expensive,

and peace doesn't

fill our coffers.

I believe in your ideas,

but you must help me.

Don't allow your

curiosity to distract you.

When one does as one wishes,

one rarely does as one should.

[SPITTING]

[SIGH]

Hum...

[PASSIONATE SIGH]

[FLY BUZZING]

Monsieur Descartes,

I've heard about your

research on human emotions...

I would like you to

explain two things to me...

Bonjour, oui?

This is for Descartes.

First...

[LAUGHING]

I would like you to tell me...

What is love?

I cannot grasp

the secret impulse,

that draws us to one person

rather than another,

Before we truly know

that person's worth.

[LITTLE SIGH]

Does this hidden alliance

have its roots in the body...

or the mind?

And secondly,

how does one

get rid of this feeling?

There are two kinds of love.

Compassionate love...

which makes us desire

the best for those we love.

And lustful love.

The love that makes us

desire those we love.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Every passion

changes us physically,

and each one

has its own symptoms.

We can identify them

by the changes in our pulse,

our breathing...

or by the flush of our skin.

But beware

of facial expressions.

They do not always

reveal the truth since,

we can willfully control

our facial expressions.

To hide one passion,

we can imagine another,

quite the opposite.

But, for the time being,

you should love.

You can reason afterwards.

These are for me?

Are you serious?

It's a present from Johan.

- Is he serious?

- Hum...

Perhaps you...

neglected these things

for too long...

The fff... feminine things

that please...

Please who?

Mmm...

Ah...

This one is luminous.

Yes, it's luminous.

Yes.

[GASPS]

How luminous!

Try it on.

Me?

I'm sure it will suit you.

[GIGGLES]

No!

Here in front of me.

In front of you?

Yes.

You're suddenly so quiet.

I'm trying to change

my facial expression

by thinking of something

totally different.

[CHUCKLES]

Your fianc?

Jakob?

How does he look at you?

Sometimes he touches

his chest like you...

right now.

Then he places his hands

on his chin, like you.

The gown.

Is he proud

to have you on his arm?

I think so.

Does he know how many men envy

him in the jungle of suitors?

Jakob looks at me the way

we look at white swans.

We praise the beauty

of their wings, but...

We forbid them to fly.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

How does he touch you?

I love to make you blush.

Did you have this

gown made for me?

I knew you would like it.

[LITTLE LAUGH, SIGH]

Tell me that you like them.

They're lovely...

I know more about...

artillery

and cavalry strategies...

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHTER]
