: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.
:59:00
- Just once.
- So everyone shouts. Just once.
:59:05
For the non-believers.
But most of all for the believers.
:59:08
- Just once.
- Just once. It's true.
:59:14
You say that you are afraid?
Of me too?
:59:19
- Mostly of you.
- That's flattering.
:59:22
One could tolerate
your manner and wits.
:59:25
- What frightens you, then?
- Your smile, your benevolence.
:59:34
You're the only sensible person
in the company.
:59:37
Why continue on a road that leads
to disgrace and imprisonment?
:59:44
- It hasn't always been like this?
- No...
:59:47
Perhaps you once believed... in the
meaning or usefulness of it all?
:59:53
- That was long ago.
- Why not stop in time, Mrs Vogler?
:59:59
It's meaningless.
