{26566}{26624}Quarrel? {26625}{26702}Not in the normal way. {26703}{26756}Sometimes there was a coldness. {26757}{26794}You feel it. {26869}{26934}Look... {26935}{27000}You're with someone... {27001}{27068}in a car or in a room... {27069}{27192}and you want to say something,|but you're afraid. {27193}{27264}Or you'd like to be|affectionate... {27265}{27317}but again you're afraid. {27318}{27488}You're afraid of losing points,|of being the weaker one. {27489}{27578}It's a terrible moment... {27579}{27680}when you can no longer go back|and start again. {27681}{27730}I think I understand|what you mean. {27731}{27768}Very vaguely, but... {27769}{27923}I know what you're going to say:|the wise person gives in. {27971}{28132}No, once you're in the mire,|who can pull you out again, {28133}{28208}in terms of human|relations, I mean? {28209}{28283}It can't have been like that|for the whole three years. {28315}{28398}Of course not. {28399}{28481}At times... {28482}{28576}it was so beautiful that... {28578}{28712}there are moments|when you forget... {28713}{28821}everything... {28822}{28914}including the fact that you|could resolve the difficulties, {28915}{28991}and find a common basis to... {29119}{29205}But we were stuck in the mire! {29206}{29334}Poor thing! {29335}{29416}It's easy to pity, but much|harder to understand. {29417}{29542}If you understand someone,|there's no need for pity. {29543}{29632}You can help change things. {29633}{29724}Pity only what you can't|understand! {29725}{29762}I see... {29763}{29845}the whole thing|has hardened you. {29846}{29886}It's a pity. {29887}{29965}I was always suspicious|of hard women. {29966}{30094}I seem hard, only because|I'm using my head. {30095}{30210}You're evidently not used to|women using their brains. {30211}{30294}My poor little dear! {30294}{30321}Please! {30322}{30429}I'm sorry, I didn't mean|to offend you. {30430}{30477}I just want you to listen|to what I say... {30478}{30525}and not have|a preconceived opinion. {30526}{30565}Of course! {30566}{30705}I can understand|your bitterness. {30706}{30781}Did he ask for the divorce? {30782}{30829}No, I did. {30830}{30886}Not him? {30887}{30941}You...? {30942}{30998}Good heavens! {30999}{31066}That surprises you, eh? {31067}{31121}Poor little Petra... {31122}{31172}who couldn't do|without her husband, {31173}{31268}hopelessly in love,|almost a slave... {31270}{31341}and she asks for a divorce. {31342}{31381}Terrible, isn't it? {31382}{31423}Did he...? {31424}{31484}No. {31486}{31537}He wasn't unfaithful. {31583}{31675}Adultery wouldn't have been|a reason for me to separate. {31676}{31749}For my part, the relationship|was a healthy one. {31750}{31837}We both attached more importance|to pleasure than fidelity; {31838}{31963}fidelity as a duty, that is. {31964}{32065}Mentally we were faithful|to each other, no doubt. {32066}{32172}There were other reasons|why it didn't work out. {32174}{32261}Of course, when things go wrong,|it turns to disgust... {32262}{32323}and hatred. {32324}{32415}But that had nothing to do with|what was going on around us... {32416}{32472}or with other people. {32730}{32757}Thank you. {32758}{32801}Yes, thank you. {32802}{32864}Go on sketching!|It's urgent. {33614}{33650}Can we...?
