:35:01
As we're rent collectors, teach me
a trick or two to earn more money

:35:07
Forget conscience or sin, speak
frankly, brother to brother

:35:12
My wages are so small and
I have to manage somehow

:35:17
So I live by extortion and blackmail
:35:20
So do I. Without them
I could not survive

:35:25
I know neither pity nor conscience
:35:28
We are made to be together. Tell
me, brother, what is your name?

:35:42
Brother, do you really want to know?
:35:46
I am the Devil and I dwell in Hell
:35:49
I ride to earn a living, just as you do
:35:53
You cheat without scruples, just as I do
:35:57
I will keep you good
company until you forsake me

:36:01
Even if you're the Devil, I'll keep
our bargain. We're both out for profit

:36:07
We could share what we make
:36:10
That is, you take all
that men want to give you

:36:15
Agreed. You'll take your
part while I shall take...

:36:20
...everything that
mankind wants to give me

:36:34
Here lives an old woman who'd rather
break her neck than part with a penny

:36:37
I'll get twelve pence from her,
under threat of summoning her to court

:36:43
She's not guilty of the smallest of sins
:36:46
Learn how we do things in these parts
:36:53
What can I do for you gentlemen?
:36:58
On pain of excommunication you must
appear before the archdeacon tomorrow
