:05:14
Bernardo, listen...
:05:16
Paolo wants to talk with you.
:05:18
You see, they want you to
present the keys of the city
:05:20
to Emperor Otto himself.
:05:22
It's a very great honor.
:05:24
You're the only one
who can make peace
:05:26
between the governor
and the bishop.
:05:29
Bernardo,
are you listening to me?
:05:32
Bernardo, please,
you must come back.
:05:34
It's for the emperor himself.
:05:36
No.
:05:37
No, there's nothing
I want to say to an emperor
:05:40
who slaughters the innocent,
:05:42
steals from the poor.
:05:44
No, Bernardo, there's a lot
one could say to an emperor.
:05:47
There you see, look.
Even Francesco agrees with me.
:05:49
What should I say
to an emperor, Francesco?
:05:52
Well, what could you say?
:05:57
Mm...
:05:59
Well, you could tell him to
throw his scepter in the mud,
:06:05
or to fling his jewels
into the river.
:06:09
Then he could see the glow
of some new colors
:06:11
amongst the glistening pebbles.
:06:12
And you could say,
"Otto of Brunswick,
:06:17
"let the birds nest
in your crown.
:06:18
"Let the winds of heaven blow
through your empty palaces.
:06:22
"What good is your life to you,
:06:23
"if your riches bring you
no peace of mind...
:06:27
and all your people starve?"
:06:32
That's what should be said
to an emperor.
:06:34
You mustn't listen to him,
I warn you!
:06:35
If you're going
to say things like that,
:06:38
then you'd better stay here!
:06:39
You'll both be burned
at the stake as heretics!
:06:41
Stop bleating.
:06:43
And consider that maybe
Francesco and Bernardo here,
:06:45
in the way they live, have more
in keeping with the gospels
:06:48
than you and your lawyer friend
in the bishop's palace.
:06:51
You were the one
who laughed loudest
:06:53
and longest at Francesco.
:06:54
Ah, shut up!
:06:58
That's true, but I always laugh
when I don't understand.
