It was the aim of the lawmakers
and the law administrators...

:36:10
...to build the law firmly
on principles...

:36:13
...which are above small emotions,
greed...

:36:18
...and the loose thinking
of everyday life.

:36:21
Impossible.
:36:23
The law is a gun
pointed at somebody's head.

:36:26
It all depends upon which
end of the gun you stand.

:36:30
Who is he?
:36:33
He's the gardener, Joseph.
:36:35
Joseph, this is Professor Lightcap,
the new tenant.

:36:39
Pleased to know you.
Excuse me, I...

:36:42
Still, your point of view
is very interesting.

:36:46
- Thank you.
- It represents the ideal condition.

:36:50
I like people who think in terms
of ideal conditions.

:36:53
They're the dreamers, poets, tragic
figures in this world, but interesting.

:36:58
- How are the zinnias getting along?
- Dying.

:37:02
- You see, professor...
- I must get on with my dictation.

:37:06
You might see if you
can save the zinnias.

:37:09
Certainly. Still, it might do you good
to talk to somebody like me.

:37:14
I have certain very practical
relations with the law.

:37:19
The zinnias, Joseph.
:37:21
Miss Shelley, we might as well take
our work inside. It's getting chilly.

:37:27
Bless you.
:37:29
If you'll excuse us, Joseph.
:37:36
And now, what's that?
:37:43
- What are you trying to do?
- When I hear nonsense, I get an impulse.

:37:48
- Get upstairs.
- With this ankle, it's too late.

:37:51
Then hide somewhere, quick.
Get in there.

:37:57
See who it is, will you?
