Hello… No, Madame, this is a party line. Please hang up.

But I was on the line first. Would you please get off the line?

Hello, Miss? No, this isn't Dr. Schmit. 0-8, not 0-7. Hello?! This is ridiculous.

People keep asking me, and I don't know.

Hello! But, Madame, what do you want me to do? What do I need? Nothing.

Hello, Miss! Please tell this lady to hang up.

Hello, is it you? Yes, very well. It was torture trying to hear you over all those other people.

Yes… no… It happens that… About ten minutes ago. Did you try to call?

Ah, no, I went out for dinner with Martha. It must be a little past eleven.

Are you at home? Then look at the electric clock.

That's what I thought. Yes, chéri. Last night?

Last night I thought I would go to bed early, but then I had trouble falling asleep. I took a pill.

No, only one, at nine o'clock.

I did have a slight headache, but it went away.

Martha came this morning, and had breakfast with me. I did some errands, then came directly home.

I… What? I'm trying. I have lots of courage.

Then? I got dressed, Martha picked me up, we went out, and then I returned home.

She has been just perfect. She seems to put on airs, but that's not the case.

You were right, as usual.

My pink dress… my black hat. Yes, I still have my hat.

And you returned? You're still at home? What trial?

Ah, yes. Hello, chéri…? If we're cut off, call me back right away.

Hello? No, I am still here.

The bag? Your letters and mine. You can send for it when you wish.

It's not easy, I understand. Darling, don't apologize. It's very natural, and it is I who am stupid.

You are so nice… Nor did I. I didn't think I had the courage.

Putting on an act?! Hello… Who… You think I'm putting on an act! Me!

You know me well, I am not the type to pretend…

Not at all. I'm not angry. You'll see.

I said: You will see. Tell me, do I sound like a person who has something to hide?

No. I made up my mind that I would be brave, and I will.

I got what I deserved. I was reckless, I took a chance…

Chéri, please… hello… please let me speak.

Do not blame yourself. It was all my fault. Yes…

You remember that Sunday in Versailles when I sent that telegram?

You see! It was I who said I wanted to come. It was I who would not let you talk, I who acted like I didn't care.

No, no, now you're being unfair. I remember, I called you first. It was Tuesday, I'm sure, Tuesday the twenty-seventh.

You must realize I know those dates by heart.

Your mother? Why? It is hardly worth the trouble…

I really don't know. Yes, perhaps.

Oh, no! Certainly not right away. And you?
