(to Marie)
A day and a night of rest, my darling, right? After which we'll leave,
crossing Switzerland for Brindisi without any stop and reach the
Orient as it was agreed.
MARIE
It was agreed?
PELTIER
Eh! Yes.
MARIE
It's true. Indeed, as you like.
PELTIER What do you mean? Since you approve, I'm going to peruse the train schedule. You'll allow me.
MARIE
My God, yes.
(A short pause during which Marie looks at her ring and munches on a cake she has taken from a gold comfit box.)
PELTIER (after having written some notes in pencil) There. At noon tomorrow we'll take the Express and we'll stop wherever you like. Look. (offering Marie his notes)
MARIE My friend, you are perfect. I'm going to think it over. Would you listen to me for a moment to discuss something else?
PELTIER
Speak my darling.
