here in this place.
:13:07
I put out my finger
to tap the man on his shoulder

:13:11
when I saw that he was asleep.
:13:15
Not a peaceful sleep, no.
:13:19
His face was distorted
into a demented grimace.

:13:23
The man hadn't fallen asleep.
:13:28
He'd passed away.
:13:31
But he wasn't resting in Christ,
:13:34
he'd died reading
that terrible newspaper.

:13:38
Dead.
:13:43
Dearly beloved,
:13:46
like many others, this man had become
the prey and victim

:13:51
of foolishness,
:13:53
degeneration,
:13:55
of those groups
that call themselves socialists.

:13:59
Those who claim to be
the friends of the workers,

:14:03
who threaten the very foundations of
our values, our religion, our morals,

:14:09

:14:26
All of it.
:14:28
How much are your books?
- You can't afford them.

:14:31
When can I have a book?
- Come back when you're richer.

:14:38
Look at the lovely things I've got.
:14:42
Pipes for the girls,
marbles for the boys.

:14:47
Aren't you buying anything, lad?
- No, lad.

:14:50
Why not?
- Because not.

:14:53
Why aren't you buying anything?
:14:55
None of your business.
:14:57
He was given a cent for show
but he's got to give it back.
