00:00Becoming a writer, there are promises that are easier made than kept.
00:08One day, mummy, you'll be proud of me.
00:12So why don't you write a play that will take place at home in Marseille?
00:17Finally, in Francais, who speaks English.
00:23All right, I'll play that cockle baker of yours.
00:26Why did you change your mind?
00:30Talking movies, at last.
00:33Oh, is this a British store?
00:38Marseille, what are you doing here?
00:44I don't want you to write just any old thing about us.
00:47Because wherever you went, I went.
00:53I don't care. I want to play Caesar.
00:56And why is that?

01:28I'm already proud of you, Marseille.
