00:00:00Satsang with Mooji
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30Don't answer it
00:01:33Hello
00:01:35Oh hello
00:01:37No, I haven't asked him yet
00:01:40I will now
00:01:41Wait a minute
00:01:42Darling, you've got to help me
00:01:45Sister wants a tutor for Alphonse
00:01:46What that brat?
00:01:49It's a waste of education
00:01:50Tell your dear sister
00:01:52She's throwing money out of the window
00:01:53Ah now
00:01:55Give me that
00:02:01Hello?
00:02:11Oh, Philippe has a marvelous tutor
00:02:12Professor Topaz
00:02:15Passy
00:02:17Three, six, five, four
00:02:19Oh, oh, I'll get him myself tomorrow
00:02:23Yes
00:02:24Well, that's all right
00:02:25How are you?
00:02:27Kiss Alphonse for me
00:02:28Good night
00:02:30Sounds
00:02:38What's wrong?
00:02:40I have to go
00:02:41You don't love me anymore
00:02:46Darling, I adore you
00:02:49But you know as well as I do
00:02:51that I must get home to my wife
00:02:53You don't love me either
00:02:54I accept your phone
00:02:55You don't love me anymore
00:02:58No, I want to be encouraged
00:02:59To bring the Давайте
00:03:30Good evening, my sweet.
00:03:35Where have you been?
00:03:38Exhausted, darling. I'm exhausted.
00:03:40I've had the most tiring day.
00:03:43As it was, I had to leave before the conference was over.
00:03:47Did you miss me?
00:03:49I've been almost out of my mind waiting for you.
00:03:55Hortense, I draw the line at sleeping with Max.
00:03:58He has his own bed.
00:03:59Now, you leave him alone. He's nervous.
00:04:02Oh, Philip.
00:04:04I don't know how to begin to tell you.
00:04:05What?
00:04:07Promise me you'll control yourself.
00:04:08Darling, I'll be as stoical as a turtle.
00:04:11Something dreadful has happened to our son.
00:04:14Well, he'll outgrow it.
00:04:16Philip de la Torre, la Torre, I'm talking to you.
00:04:18Come here at once.
00:04:19This is what the Steg Academy thinks of your son.
00:04:31Charlemagne de la Torre, geography zero, mathematics zero, chemistry zero, history zero, general knowledge 30.
00:04:43Signed, Auguste A. Topaz.
00:04:47Ha!
00:04:48Fascinating record.
00:04:49Must have had an off month.
00:04:56It's a plot against our child.
00:04:58A plot fostered by that creature, what's his name?
00:05:02Topaz.
00:05:03Topaz or not topaz?
00:05:05That is the question.
00:05:07Ha!
00:05:08This is no time for joking.
00:05:11Has he been eating well?
00:05:15I demand that you see the Minister of Education.
00:05:19Darling, I doubted he could spare the time for tutoring.
00:05:23He'll drive me mad with your levity.
00:05:27Did I hear you call me, Mama?
00:05:29Yes, darling.
00:05:30How do you do, my fine scholar?
00:05:34I've just been looking over your astonishing record.
00:05:37Philippe, don't make the child cry.
00:05:39I won't cry, Mama.
00:05:41Oh, darling.
00:05:42Now tell your father what you told me.
00:05:45Well, I'm not the idiot that old Professor Topaz is.
00:05:50And he...
00:05:51Go on, dearest.
00:05:53Don't falter.
00:05:54Well, he's a communist and I can prove it.
00:05:58What?
00:05:59Yes, Papa.
00:06:00He's against the rich.
00:06:01He doesn't like me because I'm a Latour.
00:06:03You should try to win him over.
00:06:05Let him try to win me over if he's so smart.
00:06:07Come here, darling.
00:06:09Now you must stop fretting.
00:06:11Philippe, I want this topaz removed at once.
00:06:15Thanks, Mama.
00:06:16Ah, darling.
00:06:17Does this monster ever beat you?
00:06:19Yes, all the time.
00:06:21Is that so?
00:06:22Where?
00:06:22Where?
00:06:24Oh, my poor baby.
00:06:26Oh, you, you heartless father.
00:06:30Oh, my baby.
00:06:32Perhaps we'd all be more comfortable
00:06:34if I used the bed in the other wing.
00:06:36Philippe, your place is here.
00:06:38Darling, I must get some sleep.
00:06:41I have to be up very early.
00:06:42Oh, my baby.
00:06:42Oh, my baby.
00:06:42Oh, my baby.
00:06:42Oh, my baby.
00:06:42Oh, my baby.
00:06:43Oh, my baby.
00:06:44Perhaps we'd all be more comfortable if I used the bed in the other wing.
00:06:47Philippe, your place is here.
00:06:48Good morning.
00:07:08Good morning, Professor Dupas.
00:07:09Good morning.
00:07:10That's the very fine odor you're giving the countryside, sir.
00:07:15You'll have to excuse me tomorrow, perhaps.
00:07:17Good morning, Dr. Stake.
00:07:21Just a moment, Dr. Topaz.
00:07:23I have some good news for you.
00:07:25Is it about my raise in salary?
00:07:28Oh, much better.
00:07:29I am pleased to report that owing to my tireless efforts,
00:07:33the highest honors which can be bestowed upon a teacher
00:07:36are now within your grasp.
00:07:38You don't mean the academic palms?
00:07:41Yes.
00:07:42Oh, Dr. Stake.
00:07:43Not so fast, Dr. Topaz.
00:07:46Yes, 12 members of the Academy have now read your first steps in chemistry
00:07:51and are favorably disposed.
00:07:53There remain but eight members,
00:07:55which is three members less than last year.
00:07:57Then I shan't be mentioned in this year's list.
00:08:01Yes and no.
00:08:04Colonel Lepinus informs me that you have been awarded the academic palms
00:08:08in a spiritual, but not in a political sense.
00:08:11That is to say, morally.
00:08:14Morally?
00:08:16Well, that's something, isn't it?
00:08:19That's very nice.
00:08:20It gives me great hope.
00:08:22Have you done the potassium lesson?
00:08:24I should say not.
00:08:25You better look at it.
00:08:26It's pretty hard.
00:08:28Here it is on page 86.
00:08:35This is what I think of the lesson.
00:08:38Professor Topaz.
00:08:39Professor Topaz, will you pardon me?
00:08:41I'm a very happy man and thank you very much.
00:08:44Just a moment, Dr. Topaz.
00:08:46You left the electric light burning in your classroom all last night.
00:08:51Oh, I'm sorry.
00:08:52How could I have done that?
00:08:53Carelessness.
00:08:55You shall have to deduct seven francs from your monthly stipend.
00:08:58Seven francs?
00:08:59Yes.
00:09:01What a pity.
00:09:01Mr. Duval.
00:09:29You have again neglected your duties toward the calendar.
00:09:36I am annoyed.
00:09:39This is your third offense.
00:09:42I regret I am forced to remove it from your charge.
00:09:45Mr. Duval.
00:09:54In recognition of your good marks, the calendar is entrusted to your care.
00:09:59Mr. Latran, finally the room.
00:10:25Morals and deportment.
00:10:27Mr. Latran, let this be a lesson to you that Professor Topaz has eyes in the back of his head.
00:10:44You may return to your seat.
00:10:46Thank you, sir.
00:10:47Before we go any further, gentlemen, I wish to appeal to a boy who has been annoying our class for several days.
00:10:59I willingly forgive him for his past offenses, but I must appeal to his moral sense to discontinue his inopportune and undesirable melodies.
00:11:10I know I shall not appeal to his moral sense in vain.
00:11:19Very well.
00:11:20gentlemen, gentlemen, I ask you to ignore these and other future noises.
00:11:34Act as if they did not exist.
00:11:36Today, we are not going to concern ourselves with chemical equations, geographical questions, or matters of historical import.
00:11:45We are going to consider things of a deep and fundamental nature.
00:11:49I refer to the question of good and evil.
00:11:53We are going to dwell on the habits of civilized peoples.
00:11:58Let us take examples from daily life.
00:12:10Question number one.
00:12:13What must one be to succeed in life?
00:12:18Mr. Tranche-Bobine.
00:12:19To succeed in life, one must be...
00:12:23Han? Han?
00:12:27Honest.
00:12:28Honest.
00:12:29Honest.
00:12:30Correct.
00:12:31Eminently correct.
00:12:32One must be honest.
00:12:34But what else?
00:12:35Honest.
00:12:36But what more?
00:12:38Mr. Durand.
00:12:40He must be honest and...
00:12:45Kind.
00:12:46Honest and kind.
00:12:47Now, gentlemen, let us presume...
00:12:50that by some freak of nature, a dishonest man becomes wealthy.
00:13:03Well, he is well dressed.
00:13:07He lives in a very fine room.
00:13:10He has servants and an automobile.
00:13:14Yet.
00:13:15Has this man any friends?
00:13:27Monsieur Latour, Latour.
00:13:31Yes, lots.
00:13:32So, you think this man has friends?
00:13:39I know he has.
00:13:41And pray why has he friends?
00:13:43To ride in his automobile.
00:13:47No, my dear Monsieur Latour.
00:13:49Those are not friends.
00:13:51Such people, if they existed, would be merely vile parasites.
00:13:57The man we are describing has no friends.
00:14:00The people who knew him before, learning that his fortune was not legitimate,
00:14:06would flee from him, as from a plague.
00:14:10What does he do?
00:14:11He moves into another mansion.
00:14:13Possibly.
00:14:18Possibly.
00:14:21But, uh, may I ask...
00:14:24Would he, uh...
00:14:26Would he be any happier in his, uh...
00:14:30Shall we say, mansion?
00:14:32Yes.
00:14:33If it's a nice neighborhood.
00:14:35No, my dear sir.
00:14:38He would be happier in no neighborhood.
00:14:41This dishonest man, wherever he goes, whatever he does,
00:14:48will be inevitably tortured by the disapproval of his...
00:14:54I know, I know, I know.
00:14:56One moment please, gentlemen.
00:14:58I will give you an opportunity to redeem yourself, Monsieur Latour Latour.
00:15:04The disapproval of his con...
00:15:11Con...
00:15:13Constipation?
00:15:14Mr. Latour Latour, I choose to think that idiotic reply was not a weak attempt at humor, but a definite lack of intelligence.
00:15:27Zero.
00:15:28This dishonest man, would be troubled by the disapproval of his own conscience, and so worried that he would be troubled by the disapproval of his own conscience.
00:15:42And so worried, night and day, pale, ill, fatigued, in order to find peace at last.
00:16:01He distributes among the poor his entire fortune, as a sign that he has at last understood that...
00:16:15Ill-gotten gains are not worth while.
00:16:22And?
00:16:23Money does not bring happiness.
00:16:27Exactly.
00:16:33Now let us turn to a brighter picture.
00:16:36What is the fate of the honest man?
00:16:40Monsieur Tilleno.
00:16:41What is the state of the honest man's mind at the end of his day's work?
00:16:55He's exhausted.
00:16:59Have you forgotten what I have so often taught you in this class?
00:17:05Is work tiring?
00:17:08Monsieur Cordier!
00:17:09No, sir.
00:17:11Work tires nobody.
00:17:12Only laziness is tiring.
00:17:14Laziness is the mother of all vice.
00:17:16Excellent.
00:17:18Monsieur Cordier, you will have a hundred.
00:17:27Permit me, gentlemen, to elucidate.
00:17:30Let us presume our honest man is a businessman.
00:17:33He will refuse to misrepresent his product, he will scorn unmerited profit, and be rewarded by the esteem of all who know him.
00:17:44If a war breaks out and he has the good fortune to be wounded, he will be instantly awarded a decoration by his government.
00:17:53Aha!
00:17:55Aha!
00:17:59So, you were foolish enough to mistake my kindness for weakness, my patience for blindness.
00:18:07My young friend, the velvet glove conceals a hand of steel.
00:18:13You see that hand?
00:18:15If you resist it, it will break you!
00:18:18Monsieur Natur Natur!
00:18:20Stand with your back in the corner.
00:18:23You're back to the class.
00:18:24You are now an object of derision and shame to your comrades.
00:18:44Gentlemen, do not be unduly depressed by this painful incident.
00:18:49I, uh, shall go on with the class as if nothing had happened.
00:18:54As for you, Monsieur Latour, Latour, I will not yet pronounce sentence.
00:19:00I condemn you to a state of uncertainty.
00:19:03Dr. Dubas!
00:19:04What is it?
00:19:05I'll bring your red board cards to Dr. Stegg's office at once.
00:19:06Does Dr. Stegg know I'm in the middle of my class?
00:19:07At once?
00:19:09Gentlemen, I wish you to take advantage of my absence by discussing among yourselves this question of good and evil,
00:19:26Gentlemen, I wish you to take advantage of my accents by discussing among yourselves
00:19:35this question of good and evil and the problems of civilization.
00:19:56Come in. Close the door.
00:20:06Do you have the records?
00:20:08Yes, sir. I brought them as you asked. I was in the middle of my class.
00:20:12Silence.
00:20:17Seven zeros. Madame, I'm dumbfounded.
00:20:22You've been with us a long time, Dr. Topaz,
00:20:27so I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
00:20:31I'm not blaming you for this error, but your secretary.
00:20:35I hope you understand me.
00:20:38I have no secretary, sir.
00:20:41I myself gave Monsieur Latour Latour those marks.
00:20:45You can see that is my handwriting.
00:20:47Do you want me and the Baroness to believe that this descendant
00:20:50of an illustrious line of statesmen and heroes is an idiot?
00:20:54The Baroness.
00:20:56How do you do, Madame?
00:20:58You see, I don't consider your son an idiot,
00:21:02for I marked him 30 for general knowledge.
00:21:07That's because I have decided that he knows things that perhaps he is unable to communicate to me.
00:21:13Also, I have taken into consideration the fact that he is able to find his way to school and home again.
00:21:20However...
00:21:21Proceed, Dr. Stegg.
00:21:22Permit me to...
00:21:23Permit me to explain, Dr. Stegg, the meaning of those zeros.
00:21:27You see, the child is totally unconcerned with education.
00:21:31He, uh, confuses himself by playing music on a miserable little instrument.
00:21:39He, uh, throws, if you will pardon me, stink bombs and, uh, what not.
00:21:47That is what I call the active state.
00:21:50Ha!
00:21:51On the other hand, he will look at me with a, a kind of thick, myopic expression.
00:21:57And although he is apparently listening intently, and his eyes are wide open,
00:22:03he is asleep, Madame.
00:22:06And if I speak to him suddenly, he falls off his seat.
00:22:10That is what I call the passive state.
00:22:13Sir, you've said enough.
00:22:14You've convinced me that Madame is right in every one of her accusations.
00:22:18Dr. Topaz, you've been guilty of favoritism.
00:22:22Sir, I have been honest.
00:22:24Ha!
00:22:26Either this creature is dismissed,
00:22:29or I withdraw my son
00:22:31and bring the forces of the government to bear.
00:22:35Madame, I beg you, listen.
00:22:37Sir, you are a vile radical.
00:22:41Madame, my sympathies are entirely with the capitalists.
00:22:46Topaz, you're a fool.
00:22:47Go back to your class.
00:22:49Pack your belongings and leave the faculty you've dishonored.
00:22:52You're no longer a member of my academy.
00:23:17What do you think he's doing?
00:23:18I don't know.
00:23:33Gentlemen,
00:23:36I wish to...
00:23:40...assign you your lesson for tomorrow.
00:23:42You will come prepared to go further and more exhaustively into the subject of good and evil.
00:23:56You will...
00:23:58...basing...
00:23:59...your course of inquiry...
00:24:02...on these...
00:24:05...noble philosophies.
00:24:11Class...
00:24:13...is adjourned...
00:24:17...for a brief recess.
00:24:18...
00:24:28...for a brief recess.
00:24:29...
00:24:30...
00:24:32...

00:26:21...
00:26:22...
00:26:23...
00:26:24...
00:26:25...
00:26:38...
00:26:39...
00:26:40...
00:26:41...
00:26:43...
00:26:44...
00:26:45...
00:26:46...
00:26:47...
00:26:49...
00:26:50...
00:26:51...
00:27:52...
00:27:53...
00:27:54...
00:27:55...
00:27:56...
00:27:57...
00:27:58...
00:27:59...
00:29:30Thanks very much.
00:29:32Now tell me, are you particularly anxious to go on teaching?
00:29:36Teaching?
00:29:38Well, yes, of course. That's my profession.
00:29:41Hmm.
00:29:43May I ask, what do you hope to earn by giving lessons as a freelance?
00:29:48I know of one freelance tutor who earns as much as 1,200 francs.
00:29:54A week?
00:29:56A week?
00:29:58No, mademoiselle. A month, unfortunately.
00:30:02Professor Topaz, our little talk has convinced me
00:30:05that you have become the victim of excessive mother love.
00:30:09I?
00:30:10My wife was unjust to you.
00:30:12I wish to repair her offence.
00:30:14I have an offer to make you.
00:30:16I manufacture a curative water.
00:30:19My firm desires to improve upon its medical formula,
00:30:23and at this very moment we happen to be looking for a scientist
00:30:26whose name and whose brain we can use.
00:30:29Do you think you could rise to such an opportunity?
00:30:32I am, sir, the author of First Steps in Chemistry.
00:30:37Will you be good enough to read the introduction?
00:30:40Permit me, madame, mademoiselle.
00:30:46Begin there, on page three.
00:30:49...
00:30:55...
00:30:58...
00:30:59...
00:31:00...
00:31:02Biscuit, sir.
00:31:04Biscuit, sir.
00:31:13Biscuit.
00:31:26This is splendid.
00:31:29Professor Topaz,
00:31:30before we talk business, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
00:31:34Indeed, sir.
00:31:35To begin with, have you a family?
00:31:38Alas, no.
00:31:39I'm quite alone in the world.
00:31:42And women. What about women?
00:31:45Women?
00:31:47I mean, have you some wife?
00:31:50Or what not?
00:31:54No, no, no, sir. No wife.
00:31:57And no what not, I assure you.
00:32:03Go ahead.
00:32:06Well, then with whom do you usually associate?
00:32:09Well, I sometimes see an old army friend.
00:32:12He, uh, he's become a waiter in a cafe now, poor chap.
00:32:20Professor, Providence sent you here.
00:32:23I'll not take no for an ounce, sir.
00:32:25I engage you.
00:32:25Your salary will be 4,000 francs, to start with.
00:32:314,000 francs?
00:32:33A month?
00:32:34Mr. Le Baron de la Tour, la Tour, I see through your little plan.
00:32:50Sir?
00:32:51You can't take me in in this fashion.
00:32:54I may be a simple man, but I am not blind.
00:32:57I refuse your offer.
00:32:59May I ask why?
00:33:00Because it is not in my nature, sir, to accept charity.
00:33:05My dear professor, charity is the furthest thing from my mind.
00:33:09You see, not only will I derive a handsome profit
00:33:12from the medical formula you invent and endorse,
00:33:15but I shall also be using your name as a slogan.
00:33:20The beverage shall be known as sparkling topaz.
00:33:23Now, splendid.
00:33:29Now, no more nonsense, professor.
00:33:31You're my consulting chemist
00:33:32and head of the La Tour Chemical Works.
00:33:43This unaccustomed drink
00:33:45has made me a little bit dizzy.
00:33:47We'll draw up the contract immediately.
00:33:49The war, the war interrupted my researches.
00:33:54You'll be able to resume them now.
00:33:56Yes, we expect a fine medicinal formula from you.
00:33:58Have you, uh,
00:34:01have you any particular disease in mind?
00:34:04No, just a general laxative, tonic, and health builder
00:34:08for the school children of the republics.
00:34:10Oh, that is something worthwhile.
00:34:13A few hours ago,
00:34:15I was a complete failure.
00:34:18And now I'm...
00:34:19Consulting chemist at 4,000 francs a month
00:34:22and creator of sparkling topaz.
00:34:27Sparkling topaz.
00:34:29Doesn't he know you have been selling tap water
00:34:48to the whole nation
00:34:49under his name and with his endorsement?
00:34:51He knows nothing.
00:34:52He fancies we're distributing a sparkling water
00:34:54invented by him.
00:34:55He's in there now pottering round
00:34:57with improvements on his formula.
00:35:00Here's his latest creation.
00:35:04Is it any good?
00:35:05Topaz assures me it does amazing things
00:35:07to the kidneys and other vital organs.
00:35:12Good.
00:35:13It should be.
00:35:14Costs 40 francs a bottle.
00:35:15Oh, hmm.
00:35:18I'm glad you like it.
00:35:20Of course, I prefer our own sparkling topaz
00:35:22at two francs.
00:35:23Come and see his playground.
00:35:27It's a veritable inferno.
00:35:45Professor Topaz,
00:35:46this is my friend,
00:35:47Henri de Fairfield.
00:35:49He's a very prominent politician.
00:35:51Oh, how do you do, sir?
00:35:52Ah, professor.
00:35:53I never met any politicians,
00:35:55but I've always admired them from afar.
00:35:58You've seen them at their best.
00:35:59Why don't you two go outside where you belong?
00:36:01We were quite happy without you.
00:36:04Permit me, sir,
00:36:06to show you a drop of the water
00:36:07formerly manufactured for the barrens.
00:36:21Will you, uh, look through there, sir, notice the abundance of animal life.
00:36:40Promiscuous little barrels.
00:36:44Seven million in every drop.
00:36:46Now, now here is the drop of the new water.
00:36:49Distilled three times, containing phosphates, iron, and innumerable vitamins.
00:37:04Like a diamond.
00:37:06Thank you, sir.
00:37:07I will now give you an even more fascinating proof.
00:37:10I have here some pieces of prepared paper.
00:37:14Now, watch me, gentlemen.
00:37:16I will dip one in ordinary water.
00:37:21You notice it turns purple and exudes a most unfortunate odor.
00:37:26That is due to its acid imperfections.
00:37:29Now observe.
00:37:30I dip the other in our new grain of sparkling, sparkling topaz.
00:37:41It remains totally unaffected.
00:37:43Marvelous.
00:37:44Thank you, sir.
00:37:45I will now show you, pardon me, I will now show you the improvements I have made on the new germicide.
00:37:53What a pity that was unexpected.
00:38:08Are you hurt?
00:38:12That was my fault.
00:38:14I left some acid in the jar.
00:38:17Pardon me.
00:38:19my clothing.
00:38:20I felt a pity.
00:38:21I have to wear.
00:38:22I am sorry.
00:38:23items are modifieds.
00:38:24My clothes are checked.
00:38:25My clothes are corrected.
00:38:26You're wurdeers.
00:38:27Oh!
00:38:28My clothes are lifted up.
00:38:29I wasn't fixed.
00:38:30It's mateixos.
00:38:31My clothes are made.
00:38:32Don't you have to dress a paper.
00:38:33My clothes are rec Сов Eeveps?
00:38:34I said you have to wear it.
00:38:36It's wasted.
00:38:37I used a woman's version.
00:38:38You're were picked up.
00:38:39Sir,した than me, a lot.
00:38:40Oh.
00:38:42I used a small woman's porta Jooired fatto.
00:38:43Oh, don't show me.
00:38:44I retain locations, I didn't know about this.
00:38:45I.
00:38:46Get out of my office of a müssen.
00:38:47Excuse me, please.
00:38:49Your hat.
00:38:56Mr. Baron, would you follow me?
00:38:58Yes.
00:39:07Sit down here.
00:39:18Oh, may I?
00:39:22Look.
00:39:48Philippe, tell him about the palms.
00:39:53The palms?
00:39:54But Cocoa is hoping to keep it a surprise.
00:39:58Mr. Topaz, next week you will be awarded the academic palms.
00:40:04Oh, it's impossible.
00:40:05Nothing's impossible. A genius.
00:40:08The palms will be in your lapel by Friday.
00:40:12Next Friday.
00:40:14Next Friday.
00:40:17Oh, there's Philippe.
00:40:21Where, my dear?
00:40:24Do you know that woman?
00:40:26Who I know?
00:40:30Madame, Monsieur.
00:40:35Would you like to play the music?
00:40:38No. Philippe shall play the music.
00:40:42To the academic palms.
00:40:44Baron.
00:40:47Well, Philippe, you seem somewhat surprised.
00:41:01At what?
00:41:03I'm delighted.
00:41:04This is an unexpected pleasure.
00:41:07Permit me.
00:41:08My wife.
00:41:09Dr. Topaz and, uh, Madame Topaz.
00:41:14Madame Topaz.
00:41:15Delightable.
00:41:17Who did you say?
00:41:18My wife, Professor.
00:41:20What do you do?
00:41:22Topaz.
00:41:25The name sounds familiar.
00:41:27Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
00:41:29Dr. Topaz is head of my laboratory.
00:41:30You saw his picture in the paper this morning, my dear.
00:41:34Of course, of course.
00:41:36Pardon the intrusion.
00:41:38Delighted to have met you, Professor.
00:41:40And you too, Madame Topaz.
00:41:42You have a very talented husband.
00:41:45Dinner at eight, Philippe.
00:41:47At eight, my love.
00:41:48She didn't recognize me.
00:41:57Excuse me.
00:41:58Oh, please, my dear.
00:41:59What's the matter?
00:42:01Baron, I'm afraid you hurt her feelings.
00:42:04You shouldn't have called her Madame Topaz even in jest.
00:42:08Goodbye, my dear Professor.
00:42:09Let's go with her.
00:42:11We must lunch together again soon.
00:42:14Well, Maxie, darling.
00:42:19Mademoiselle, I'm so sorry you must overlook it.
00:42:22I can't.
00:42:23Nobody looking at you would think for a moment you were Madame Topaz.
00:42:26It's ridiculous.
00:42:39Where are we going?
00:42:41You know, it was a dubious jest calling you Madame Topaz.
00:42:46And I sympathize with you.
00:42:48There are times when I myself have almost wept to be called Monsieur Topaz.
00:42:54Please, please stop it.
00:42:56But, but you're crying.
00:42:58I must do something.
00:43:01You're really out of your head.
00:43:03Eh?
00:43:05Yes, you're insane.
00:43:06Completely insane.
00:43:08Oh, I think you misjudged me a little.
00:43:11Do you want to know why I left the table?
00:43:14You had nothing to do with it.
00:43:15Good heavens, I wasn't even thinking of you.
00:43:18But now you're just being kind.
00:43:20Oh, stop babbling like a child.
00:43:23I'm as sensible as ever.
00:43:26Professor, you're deaf, dumb and blind.
00:43:29The Baron introduced me to his wife as Madame Topaz because he was frightened out of his wits.
00:43:34Of what?
00:43:36Of her finding out.
00:43:38Of her even suspecting something.
00:43:40The way he turned pale and shivered in his boots.
00:43:44Palming me off as Madame Topaz.
00:43:47Shivered in his boots?
00:43:49May I ask why he should do that?
00:43:52Because he's my lover.
00:43:53Oh, you're...
00:43:56You're jesting.
00:43:58About what, for heaven's sake?
00:44:00About your...
00:44:02Your relations.
00:44:04With the Baron.
00:44:06Do you mean to tell me you haven't known?
00:44:08What's the matter?
00:44:10N-Nothing.
00:44:12You must forgive me.
00:44:14I...
00:44:16It's not your fault that I had some...
00:44:18Curious...
00:44:20Misconception of you.
00:44:21I wish I could do something about it.
00:44:35Oh, look!
00:44:42You're no longer a little schoolmaster.
00:44:45You're a great man now.
00:44:46I don't feel like a great man.
00:44:47I don't feel like a great man.
00:44:52Joseph.
00:44:53Yes, sir?
00:44:55Did you telephone the hairdressers?
00:44:56Yes, sir.
00:44:57Well?
00:44:58Madame has not been there.
00:45:00Hmm.
00:45:01I'll have a whisking soda.
00:45:02And...
00:45:03Yes, sir.
00:45:05Did you telephone the hairdressers?
00:45:06Yes, sir.
00:45:07Well?
00:45:08Madame has not been there.
00:45:10Hmm.
00:45:11I'll have a whisking soda.
00:45:12And are you staying for dinner, sir?
00:45:13I'm staying until she comes home.
00:45:14Very good, sir.
00:45:16Good evening, Joseph.
00:45:17Good evening, madame.
00:45:19Where?
00:45:20You here?
00:45:21Where have you been?
00:45:22With Professor Topaz.
00:45:24Oh, my...
00:45:26I'm not...
00:45:27I'm not...
00:45:28I'm not...
00:45:29I'm not...
00:45:30I'm not...
00:45:31I'm not...
00:45:32I'm not...
00:45:33I'm not...
00:45:34I'm not...
00:45:35I'm not...
00:45:36I'm not...
00:45:37I'm not...
00:45:38I'm not...
00:45:39I'm not...
00:45:40I'm not...
00:45:41I'm not...
00:45:42Let it be...
00:45:50Just a moment, Topaz.
00:45:51You seem a trifle nervous, monsieur.
00:45:58I am.
00:45:59Sit down.
00:46:05What's the matter?
00:46:06Why are you looking at me like that?
00:46:09What have you been doing?
00:46:10Nothing.
00:46:11Topaz, until this moment, you seemed an honorable man.
00:46:15What's changed you?
00:46:19I will be frank.
00:46:20I thought so.
00:46:21And you could do a thing to me like this after what I've done for you.
00:46:26I've done nothing.
00:46:27Now you wish to deny it.
00:46:30Out with it, Topaz.
00:46:31Where have you been with Coco?
00:46:36To the cinema.
00:46:37What?
00:46:38Yes.
00:46:40Ah, very pretty.
00:46:44May I ask what picture you saw?
00:46:47Why, yes.
00:46:49It was entitled Women of Passion.
00:46:54You know, I never imagined that people comported themselves in that manner.
00:46:59Although innocent of any wrongdoing,
00:47:02she was driven into the street where the Argentine was waiting.
00:47:06Now, quite unaware that he'd made this bet,
00:47:08she foolishly accompanied him.
00:47:11Forgive me, Professor.
00:47:13You belong in a fable.
00:47:15Huh?
00:47:17Monsieur de Fairville and Dr. Baum, sir.
00:47:21Philip, you must do something or we are ruined.
00:47:24Ruined?
00:47:25I doubt it.
00:47:26Take your hat off only.
00:47:28It'll quiet you.
00:47:30I'll sit down.
00:47:32Dr. Baum, be seated.
00:47:33Will you excuse us for a few moments, Dr. Topaz?
00:47:45So you, Dr. Topaz, eh?
00:47:47Let me have a look at you, you scientific Judas.
00:47:51Baum, you're drunk.
00:47:52Whiskers and all, eh?
00:47:54Perfect.
00:47:55Who?
00:47:56Who is he?
00:47:57I tell you who I am.
00:47:59I am an honest man.
00:48:00Come to send a pack of you to...
00:48:02Oh!
00:48:03Sit down.
00:48:08Baron, is he?
00:48:10Shall we send to the police?
00:48:13Listen who's talking about the police, you swindler.
00:48:17You must deal with him, Philip.
00:48:19He's going to expose us.
00:48:20Be quiet only and sit down.
00:48:21Dr. Topaz, this is my affair.
00:48:24I demand you leave.
00:48:26Oh, no, sir.
00:48:27I wouldn't leave you at such a moment.
00:48:30Dr. Baum, state your case.
00:48:34Baron, I'll be brief.
00:48:37One hundred thousand francs in cash,
00:48:41for I expose you dishwater.
00:48:44For what dishwater?
00:48:46This.
00:48:48This plague-ridden concoction, you swindler.
00:48:51Is he mad?
00:48:51Gentlemen, please be seated.
00:49:04May I trouble you, Henri?
00:49:07File three, draw twelve.
00:49:12Your visit, Dr. Baum, is not entirely unexpected.
00:49:15So you'd like a hundred thousand francs for your goodwill?
00:49:20Yes.
00:49:23And here, my foolish fellow, are what in melodrama are known as the papers.
00:49:28I am in no mood for jokes.
00:49:30Allow me.
00:49:30It is my turn to be objectionable.
00:49:32In 1924, a certain Emile Winkleman was employed as superintendent of the charity hospital at Marseille.
00:49:40A short, squat, peculiar-looking fellow with what is known as an Assyrian beard.
00:49:45Are you listening, Dr. Baum?
00:49:46Don't go.
00:49:47Don't go.
00:49:48I'll be brief.
00:49:54We skip to page eight, and we find December the 4th, 1925, the same Emile Winkleman, beard and all,
00:50:02vanishes from the charity hospital, and with him, a magnificent sum of money belonging to the state.
00:50:10There's a great hue and cry, but Emile is never seen or heard of again.
00:50:14However, on September the 22nd, 1927, there arrives in Paris a short, squat, but smooth-shaven fellow
00:50:22with a pigmentary mole on his right cheek,
00:50:26who soon finds employment as a chemist, and under the name of...
00:50:30So you intend to blackmail me, eh?
00:50:33With the greatest of reluctance, and only in self-defense.
00:50:37Baron, you're the most impotent scoundrel I ever known.
00:50:41Dr. Baum, I'm impervious to flattery.
00:50:47As for you, you sentimonious swindler!
00:50:50Enjoy your ill-gotten gains!
00:50:53Wollen your sin!
00:50:55But the world knows what you are!
00:50:57A fake!
00:50:58A thief!
00:50:58A thief!
00:51:01The mail, a thief!
00:51:03A thief...
00:51:04A thief!
00:51:05A thief!
00:51:08A thief!
00:51:08A thief.
00:51:10A thief.
00:51:24A thief.
00:51:26A thief!
00:51:26Oh.
00:51:56Impossible.
00:52:26One moment, sir.
00:52:52Pardon me.
00:52:52Dis donc, mon dieu, qu'elle m'a foutu, là, je vais taper la police, là, hein?
00:52:58Dans le salle.
00:52:59C'est parti.
00:53:29C'est parti.
00:53:59C'est parti.

00:55:16C'est parti.
00:55:17C'est parti.
00:55:19Good morning, sir.
00:55:31Auguste, you're hurt.
00:55:34Oh, you poor man, where have you been?
00:55:37Look at the mud. Look at your clothes.
00:55:41Topaz, you're behaving like a child.
00:55:43Take that absurd expression off your face and sit down.
00:55:46I came back to pay for my crime.
00:55:51Oh, Auguste, don't be silly. You've done nothing.
00:55:56Nothing?
00:55:59It would be a little difficult to believe in my innocence.
00:56:03I don't believe in it myself.
00:56:06They will say nobody could be as great a fool as Topaz.
00:56:12It would be straining the credulity of the court.
00:56:17What court?
00:56:19The court before which we must stand and be convicted for what we are.
00:56:23Thieves.
00:56:30Some people to see Dr. Topaz.
00:56:32Who?
00:56:33Quite a delegation, sir. Some are in uniform.
00:56:36The police.
00:56:38Tell them.
00:56:40Tell them I'm ready.
00:56:42Just a moment. I'll see them.
00:56:48Oh!
00:56:50Here we are.
00:56:52Bonjour, mon colonel.
00:56:54Colonel.
00:56:55So you came back to share our fate?
00:56:59Yes.
00:57:01You silly creature.
00:57:04You're so foolish you make me ashamed.
00:57:10Well, my fine criminal, are you ready for the police?
00:57:14I am.
00:57:16Gentlemen.
00:57:27Professor Auguste Topaz, the representatives of the Republic.
00:57:33Professor Topaz, I have been delegated to confer on you, all too tardily, that honor which you have merited by your work in the field of science, the academic poems.
00:57:45The, uh...
00:57:47The poems.
00:57:51Just a moment, gentlemen, I've got...
00:57:53Gentlemen!
00:57:55Dr. Topaz is a man of deeds, not words.
00:57:58He's overcome.
00:58:00Out of respect for his feelings, gentlemen, will you make the ceremony as brief as possible?
00:58:03What's the matter with him? He's drunk. Hurry up.
00:58:07Professor Auguste A. Topaz, teacher, scholar, scientist and author.
00:58:12For your diligence, for your learning, for your humanitarian labor, as head of the Latour Chemical Works, I, Henri de Ferville, in the name of a Republic, confer on you the insignia of the academic poems.
00:58:27Count de l'Espenasse, first assistant head of Bureau of Awards and Merits.
00:58:40Professor Antoine Bouillon, second assistant head of Bureau of Awards and Merits.
00:58:44Monsieur Héctor Tenet, third assistant head of Bureau of Awards and Merits.
00:58:47Colonel Robert Chateauneuf de Pepe, Colonel Timor-Léon de la Roche-Montay, assistant commissioner of the Scholastic Awards and Merits.
00:58:55Congratulations, my dear Professor.
00:58:57Dear Professor.
00:59:00You? You are the Republic of France?
00:59:05I'm a member of the government, Professor.
00:59:09And you, gentlemen, are friends of the Baron?
00:59:14Not only friends, my dear Topaz, but business associates.
00:59:19Oh, I see. I understand.
00:59:28I think you'd better thank them.
00:59:33Thank you, gentlemen.
00:59:36Thank you very much.
00:59:39Speech! Speech! Speech!
00:59:42Speech!
00:59:49I can merely say I have dreamed for many years of this honor.
00:59:59I always thought it would be the happiest moment of my life when it came, if it ever did come.
01:00:10In fact, I wrote out a speech long ago.
01:00:15It's in my laboratory now, expressing my true feelings.
01:00:23But, uh, it wouldn't fit.
01:00:28It would sound too humorous.
01:00:31I, uh, I am afraid I have outgrown that oration in the last few moments.
01:00:40So you will forgive me...
01:00:44for not...
01:00:46speaking it.
01:00:48I would rather say merely...
01:00:51thank you, gentlemen.
01:00:54It is more than I deserve.
01:00:58Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
01:01:00Come, gentlemen. We'll adjourn to the library.
01:01:03Oh, yes.
01:01:04You are a great man. Without them.
01:01:06No.
01:01:08Now I am what they call a great man.
01:01:11You are a great man. Without them.
01:01:14No.
01:01:16Now I am what they call a great man.
01:01:18I am not Topaz.
01:01:19Topaz lies dead in an alley.
01:01:26Look.
01:01:28Can't you see how different I am?
01:01:30I am.
01:01:32I am not Topaz.
01:01:34Topaz lies dead in an alley.
01:01:37Look.
01:01:39Can't you see how different I am?
01:01:49I am a distinguished scientist.
01:01:52I am a man of honor.
01:01:54I have been decorated by the Republic.
01:01:57I wear the palms.
01:02:08Coco?
01:02:11Do you know of a good barber?
01:02:32Very becoming our goose.
01:02:35Do you like it?
01:02:37Ravishing.
01:02:39Perfect.
01:02:47Exquisite.
01:02:49Is the back snug?
01:02:51Like a glove.
01:02:53For the races.
01:02:55Look.
01:02:56It has a double-breasted waistcoat.
01:03:07I trust you are comfortable sir.
01:03:16You do?
01:03:18Dr. Topaz sends word.
01:03:19He will contact you in five minutes.
01:03:21Well, I am on it.
01:03:23Now listen you incarnate prickly heat.
01:03:25Ask Topaz what he means by making me wait 25 minutes.
01:03:28The man has delusions of grandeur.
01:03:37Ah, Dr. Stagg?
01:03:39Yes?
01:03:39It is now a matter of 20 minutes to half an hour.
01:03:42Tell him we are quite comfortable.
01:03:49Gentlemen.
01:03:51Patients.
01:03:53Oh dear, I've been waiting here 35 minutes.
01:03:57I've been here over an hour.
01:03:59What a busy man.
01:04:01Oh no, I just pretend I'm busy.
01:04:03I flutter in and out constantly
01:04:05and keep barking.
01:04:07You know, if one has time to listen to people,
01:04:09they have no respect for one.
01:04:11One must be, ah,
01:04:13elusive.
01:04:15I've kept Dr. Stagg waiting 20 minutes already.
01:04:17In another half hour,
01:04:19he'll be in complete awe of me.
01:04:21Dr. Stagg, isn't that the wretch who...
01:04:23Who threw me out of his school?
01:04:25It is.
01:04:26Now he wants me to honor him
01:04:28by attending his graduation exercises this afternoon
01:04:32and distributing the prizes
01:04:34among his pupils.
01:04:36Fancy.
01:04:42Would you like to come along?
01:04:44Oh, that'll be fun.
01:04:47But you might have called for me
01:04:49instead of summoning me here like a tyrant.
01:04:51It's better manners.
01:04:52My dear Coco, in a crisis.
01:04:55One omits a bow or two.
01:04:57You're in a crisis?
01:04:58Well, not yet.
01:05:00But in a few minutes.
01:05:02I'd, ah, I'd love to share a crisis with you.
01:05:06Do you mind if I sit here?
01:05:11It, ah, it makes me feel more effective.
01:05:14Do be effective.
01:05:15Do be effective.
01:05:22Send the Baron de la Tour Latour in, please.
01:05:25Auguste.
01:05:27What are you up to?
01:05:29The most frightful villainy.
01:05:31Shhh.
01:05:32I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
01:05:37I don't mind humoring you, Topaz, but don't overdo it.
01:05:40Well, what are you doing here?
01:05:42Visiting.
01:05:43I sent for her.
01:05:44I have a matter of grave importance to take up, sir.
01:05:47Hm, what a man.
01:05:48Always flinging matters of grave importance at my head.
01:05:53Coco, do you mind sitting over there so I can't see you?
01:05:56Certainly not.
01:06:00Is, is this the crisis?
01:06:03It begins now.
01:06:04What sort of charades are these?
01:06:07I am just, ah, trying to think how to begin the matter.
01:06:12A disciple of mine should always come to the point.
01:06:15Immediately.
01:06:16Thank you, sir.
01:06:18I am receiving 8,000 francs a month as chief of the Latour Chemical Works.
01:06:23We both know they are non-existent.
01:06:27Proceed.
01:06:29You, really, if I took my job seriously, I should have nothing to do at all.
01:06:34So I have decided I should be more honestly employed as...
01:06:39Cigarette?
01:06:40No, thanks.
01:06:42As a partner.
01:06:43What?
01:06:45What are you raving about?
01:06:47I am asking you, sir, for a third interest in this thriving concern.
01:06:51Topaz, you delight me.
01:06:54Such a frontery is refreshing.
01:06:56I am very much afraid, sir, that you underestimate me.
01:07:01I repeat my request ominously.
01:07:05Ominously?
01:07:07Topaz, do you realize how much a third interest in the business would be?
01:07:11To a fraction, sir.
01:07:13Coco, I'm disappointed in our little professor.
01:07:15He's had a relapse.
01:07:16He's as absurd as ever.
01:07:17I see there is nothing to be gained by, uh, by words.
01:07:26Dr. Baum?
01:07:28Uh-huh?
01:07:30Draw 12, file 12.
01:07:32Ominous.
01:07:36Baron, I am about to be very objectionable.
01:07:38Here, as they say in melodrama, are the papers.
01:07:54You, uh, will find written out here a complete report of, uh, your relations with Coco.
01:08:01Dates, sayings, and doings.
01:08:07Oh.
01:08:09Uh, your stock in this firm is in your wife's name.
01:08:13And, uh, your wife, if I may say so, is, uh, a very formidable woman.
01:08:19When she reads this fascinating data, her subsequent antics are easy to imagine.
01:08:24You're the most impudent scoundrel I've ever known.
01:08:28Sir?
01:08:30I am impervious to flattery.
01:08:39To think that I nourished and reared that Frankenstein under my own roof.
01:08:43Philippe, is that all you have to say?
01:08:45Are you going to give in?
01:08:47A difficult situation. Allow him to adjust himself.
01:08:53Coco, a divorce would ruin me. What can I do?
01:08:58Softly and silently vanish away.
01:09:07I, uh, have taken the liberty of drawing up a partnership contract.
01:09:13Blackmailer!
01:09:17A pen, sir.
01:09:18A pen, sir.
01:09:46A pen, sir.
01:09:47A pen, sir.
01:09:49A pen, sir.
01:09:50A pen, sir.
01:09:52A pen, sir.
01:09:54A pen, sir.
01:09:56A pen, sir.
01:09:58A pen, sir.
01:09:59A pen, sir.
01:10:01Gentlemen of the Steg Academy, and you, my dear parents.
01:10:06We are singly honored today in having with us an old friend.
01:10:08with us an old friend.
01:10:10I'm sure we can all call you friend.
01:10:13An old friend whom I've induced to return
01:10:15to the scene of his first success.
01:10:21Silence, if you please.
01:10:25Gentlemen, nobody realizes more than I
01:10:28that this is the great day of your lives.
01:10:30I wish to announce that in addition to the prizes
01:10:33which are to be awarded to the individual students
01:10:35for their diligence and brilliance in individual subjects,
01:10:39the Academy this year has selected for its banner pupil,
01:10:43its model of intellectual youth,
01:10:45none other than Monsieur Charlemagne de La Tour, La Tour.
01:10:57And now the moment arrives which you've all been waiting for.
01:11:02I have the great privilege and high honor
01:11:03to introduce to you the distributor of the prizes,
01:11:06the beloved scientific genius of the Republic,
01:11:10my very good friend.
01:11:16We welcome you back, Dr. Kofax.
01:11:19Gentlemen, dear ladies, Dr. Stegg, members of the faculty,
01:11:26where is my pointer?
01:11:42Thank you very much.
01:11:45Ah, now I feel more at home.
01:11:49And, ah, my glasses.
01:11:53These, ah, glasses have seen a great deal of service in this room.
01:11:58Well, gentlemen, I suppose you are saying to yourselves,
01:12:01that can't be Dr. Topaz?
01:12:02Suppose you are saying to yourselves, that can't be Dr. Topaz.
01:12:06My, how different he looks in his new suit and without his, uh, his whiskers.
01:12:14Well, gentlemen, since that day you saw me last, I have been out in the great world.
01:12:21And I have learned a great deal.
01:12:23You have noted, gentlemen, that I have changed.
01:12:35But it pleases me to see that here nothing has altered.
01:12:38The mottos, they are all the same.
01:12:41Like yourselves, I studied them a long time.
01:12:44And I learned to know them well.
01:12:47But my dear children, I have something rather sad to tell you.
01:12:53It will surprise you to know that, uh, unlike the lessons you have learned here,
01:12:58in the outside world, honesty is not always rewarded.
01:13:05Very true, sirs, very true.
01:13:08I can even say, Dr. Stig, that villainy often receives more applause than virtue.
01:13:17All right, Jory.
01:13:18What is that?
01:13:19Gentlemen, the world that lies outside that door is a most upside-down place.
01:13:28You will be shocked someday when full of maxims, mottos, and education,
01:13:32you behold injustice triumphant, and wrongdoing receiving the rewards which should be given
01:13:39only to the virtuous.
01:13:40Doctor, please, you forget yourself.
01:13:43Dr. Stig thinks I am forgetting myself.
01:13:47Alas, I remember myself too well.
01:13:52Gentlemen, regardless of what the world outside is like, within these walls which are still
01:13:59dear to me, injustice shall not triumph, nor wrongdoers be rewarded.
01:14:05I have been instructed to deliver the highest school honors for diligence, deportment, and
01:14:13talent to one Charlemagne de La Tour, La Tour.
01:14:18Monsieur de La Tour, La Tour, kindly step forward.
01:14:23Mr. La Tour, La Tour, I see by this report that you are marked 95 in history.
01:14:40May I ask you a question?
01:14:43What can you tell me about the three Punic Wars?
01:14:47There were three Punic Wars.
01:14:48During the first Punic War, the first Punic War, war.
01:14:54Hmm, you don't seem to know much about the first Punic War.
01:14:58What can you tell me about the second Punic War?
01:15:01After the first Punic War came the second Punic War.
01:15:05The second Punic War.
01:15:07Let us proceed to the third Punic War.
01:15:10After the first Punic War came the second Punic War.
01:15:13And after the second Punic War came the third Punic War.
01:15:16A very scintillant deduction.
01:15:19Proceed.
01:15:21During the Third Punic War...
01:15:23They burned Carthage.
01:15:26They burned Carthage.
01:15:29They had a war.
01:15:31Zero.
01:15:32Zero.
01:15:34Zero.
01:15:35You may return to your seat.
01:15:41Can anyone answer the extremely complex question
01:15:45I have just asked
01:15:46concerning the Three Punic Wars?
01:15:52Are you sure you all know?
01:15:54First Punic War, 264 B.C.
01:15:56Second Punic War, 218 B.C.
01:15:59Third Punic War, 149 B.C.
01:16:01Second Punic War, 164 B.C.
01:16:11Excellent.
01:16:12Excellent.
01:16:13Thank you very much.
01:16:18Have you the prize, Dr. Stegg?
01:16:25I award the symbol of learning to all of you.
01:16:30I give it to you with a request
01:16:33that when you have entered the world
01:16:36and witnessed there
01:16:38the strange evidences
01:16:40of amazing injustice,
01:16:42you will remember that once at least,
01:16:47through the unworthy hand of Professor Topaz,
01:16:50virtue triumphed
01:16:53and honesty was rewarded
01:16:55as
01:16:57read the mottos
01:16:59on these old walls.
01:17:01and
01:17:05applause
01:17:06.
01:17:07And
01:17:12.
01:17:13.
01:17:14.
01:17:23.
01:17:24.
01:17:24Let's go.
01:17:41Fancy that.
01:17:51Back at 11.
