[00:49.45]Scene 1 A park in Paris,1870.Jeanne(J)is sitting in the park.
[00:58.83]Mathilde (M)walks towards her.
[01:02.67]M:Good afternoon,Jeanne.
[01:06.04]J:(Looking at the other woman)I'm sorry,but I don't think I know you.
[01:11.00]M:In fact you do,but you may not remember me.
[01:16.85]Many years ago we knew each other very well.
[01:21.68]I'm  Mathilde Loisel.
[01:25.21]J:Mathilde!Oh yes.Sorry,I didn't reeognise you.
[01:31.38]Where have you been all these years,Mathilde?
[01:36.03]I hope you weren't ill.You don't look very well.
[01:41.67]M:No,Jeanne,I wasn't ill.I know I look older than my age.
[01:48.62]That's because of hard work--ten years of hard work.
[01:54.57]J:I'm sorry,Mathilde.Did you have a hard time?
[02:00.14]M:Yes,very hard.Years of hard work,very little food,
[02:07.90]only a small cold room to live in and never,never a moment's rest.
[02:15.76]That been my life for the past ten years.
[02:20.51]M:Well,I would rather not tell you.
[02:31.38]J:Oh,come,Mathilde.Surely you can tell an old friend.
[02:38.04]M:Well,...Well,it was all because of that necklace,
[02:44.28]your beautiful diamond necklace.
[02:48.36]J:My necklace?I don't understand.Could you please explain?
[02:55.91]M:Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house
[03:02.78]and borrowed a necklace of yours?
[03:06.23]Pierre,my husband,was working in a government office.
[03:11.40]We'd been invited to a ball at the plalace,so I needed to borrow some jewellery.
[03:17.85]Scene 2 The home of Mathilde and Pierre(P)Loisel,ten years before.
[03:26.29]P:Mathilde!I've got some wonderful news.
[03:30.73]We've been invited to the ball at the palace.
[03:35.09]M:It can't be true,Pierre!
[03:38.57]P:But it is true.I was the only person in my office who was invited.
[03:44.73]I've written to accept the invitation.
[03:48.39]M:Oh,Pierre,how wonderful! But I don't think we can go.
[03:55.83]I haven't got an evening dress for the ball!
[04:00.09]And a new dress costs over four hundred franes.
[04:05.45]P:Four hundred!That's a lot of money.
[04:09.52]But,just this once.After all,this ball is very important.
[04:15.87]M:But there's another thing,Pierre.I have no jewellery to wear.
[04:21.64]P:Does that matter?Can't you just wear a flower instead?
[04:26.61]M:No,I couldn't do that.Everybody else will be wearing jewellery.
[04:33.68]I can't be the only woman who isn't wearing jewellery.
[04:38.94]P:Can't you borrow some?Don't you have a friend who might lend you some?
[04:44.60]M:Let me think.Maybe I could ask Jeanne.She married a man with a lot of money.
[04:53.54]I'll go and see her on Friday after I get the new dress.
[05:00.38]Scene 3 In the park,Mathilde continues to tell Jeanne her story.
[05:08.32]M:So I called on you and asked if I could borrow some jewellery.
[05:14.80]Do you remember now?
[05:17.96]J:Yes,Mathilde,I remember.
[05:22.40]M:You were very kind.
[05:25.64]You brought out all your jewellery and you told me I could take anything I liked.
[05:33.19]There were so many beautiful things that it was hard to choose.
[05:39.25]And then I saw a lovely diamond neckiace with a big blue stone in the centre.
[06:13.32]J:Why?What happened?
[06:17.76]M:On our way home that night I looked down
[06:22.62]and saw that the neeklace was not around my neek any more.
[06:28.08]I told Pierre.We rushed back to the palace and looked for it.
[06:34.63]We asked everyone there if they had found a neeklace,but without luck.
[06:40.27]We couldn't find it.It was lost.
[06:46.94]J:But I don't understand.You brought it back to me the next afternoon.
[06:54.20]I remember very well.
[06:57.96]M:Yes,Jeanne,I brought a necklace to you.
[07:02.61]It was exactly like your neeklace,but it was different one.
[07:08.98]It cost us thirty-six thousand francs.
[07:13.95]J:Thirty-six thousand franes!
[07:18.70]M:Pierre and I borrowed the money and bought the necklace.
