- Were there many lost?
- Six.

:12:04
- Four men, two children, 28 injured.
- Terrible.

:12:08
I'll see what we can do.
:12:09
It's unfortunate our visit
should have come at this time.

:12:12
But it was Rev. Peeters' wish.
:12:13
The purpose of our coming here
is an inspection.

:12:15
Excuse me, gentlemen. I'll be right back.
:12:21
- Just what is the meaning of this?
- You receive an allowance.

:12:24
Why have you chosen to live in the most
wretched, filthy shack in this village?

:12:28
Because we have no right to spread
the word of God to these people...

:12:31
unless we suffer as they do.
:12:33
You yourself are unclean.
Your clothes are ragged and dirty.

:12:36
There are people here
who have no clothes.

:12:38
Do you mean to tell us
you actually sleep on this dirt and straw...

:12:41
like a beast of the field? You,
the spiritual leader of the community?

:12:44
I gave my bed to a sick woman
who needed it more than I.

:12:47
You are new in this work.
I have no doubt you mean well.

:12:50
But by your behavior, you've degraded
the dignity of the church...

:12:53
- whose representative you are.
- Have you no sense of decency?

:12:55
Don't you understand
that if the clergy is to be respected...

:12:58
I don't care to be respected!
:13:01
I'm trying to live like a true Christian.
:13:03
I'm not going to worry about how I sleep.
:13:06
Look at the fresh graves of the children
in the cemetery.

:13:09
Scrub floors and pick coal
with the women.

:13:11
Get those fine clothes dirty
with the blood and sweat of dying miners.

:13:15
Then come here
and lecture me about Christianity!

:13:17
Hypocrites!
:13:37
But you must have heard of him.
:13:39
He came here about a year ago
as a preacher. Vincent van Gogh.

:13:43
Yes, mister.
You'll find him in the little shack.

:13:53
Vincent.
