I studied music at the conservatory.

During the final exam I played

Notturno 18 from Chopin.

I play for myself...

.. to improve my soul. Music improves

our own sensations.

I dont need to work.

I inherited a good sum of money.

When Ill decide to get married,

if Ill ever find the right person...

I am not looking for a prince.

I dont need him to be handsome.

Appearance is not everything.

Man beauty is relative, isnt it?

What is important is that hes kind,

well-behaved and with a nice smile.

Eh! Eh! Eh!

of 3 men in half-time!

- Progress can be cruel.

Can you assure me that this machine

performs the job of 3 men in half-time?
