There are some things, my dear Conway,
I deeply regret I may not discuss.

:45:04
That's the fourth time you've said that.
You should record it.

:45:07
Let's go inside.
I'd like to show you our rare treasures.

:45:35
-Good afternoon.
-Excuse me, I--

:45:38
Please, don't go.
:45:41
Tea will be served any moment.
:45:43
Won't you come in?
:45:49
My name is Maria.
:45:52
Won't you sit down?
:46:08
By the way,
what religion do you follow here?

:46:11
To put it simply, I should say
that our general belief was in moderation.

:46:16
We preach the virtue
of avoiding excesses of every kind.

:46:20
Even including excess of virtue itself.
:46:23
That's intelligent.
:46:24
In the valley, it makes for better happiness
among the natives.

:46:27
We rule with moderate strictness...
:46:30
...and in return, we are satisfied
with moderate obedience.

:46:33
As a result, our people are
moderately honest, moderately chaste...

:46:39
...and somewhat more
than moderately happy.

:46:42
How about law and order?
You have no soldiers or police?

:46:46
Good heavens, no!
:46:47
How do you deal
with incorrigibles, criminals?

:46:50
We have no crime here.
:46:53
What makes a criminal?
:46:54
Lack, usually. Avariciousness, envy.
:46:59
The desire to possess
something owned by another.
