:57:06
What a singular magnetic wonder.
:57:09
My great respects
to Dr Vogler's talents.
:57:13
- I'm his wife.
- Why the masquerade?
:57:17
- We're wanted and must dress up.
- Why not leave it all?
:57:21
- Where would I go?
- Let me entrust you with a secret.
:57:26
I've been struggling with a curious
sympathy for you and your husband.
:57:31
- It doesn't sound believable.
- I immediately took a liking to you.
:57:35
Your faces, your silence,
your natural dignity.
:57:40
- I wouldn't say it if I weren't tipsy.
- If you feel that way, leave us alone.
:57:45
I can't... because you represent
what I despise most of all.
:57:52
The inexplicable.
:57:55
Then you can halt your persecution,
Mr Vergerus.
:57:59
- Our whole enterprise is deception.
- Deception?
:58:04
Dissimulation, false promises,
double bottoms...
:58:10
A miserable,
rotten lie through and through.
:58:13
We're the silliest rabble you can find.
:58:16
- Your husband feels the same?
- He doesn't speak.
:58:19
- Is that true?
- Nothing is true.
:58:23
Your husband has no secret powers?
Maybe not, I wasn't affected.
:58:28
I only felt a certain cold excitement.
He failed.
:58:33
- It's meaningless.
- So, should I feel at ease?
:58:36
Feel at ease, Mr Vergerus. We can
display our ineptitude over and over.
:58:42
It appears that you bemoan the fact.
:58:47
As if you wished for something else.
But there are no miracles.
:58:51
It's always devices and the mouth
that does the work.
:58:55
The priesthood experiences the same.
God remains silent and people speak.
