:20:12
Didn't I tell you, Eric? Didn't I tell you?
:20:20
Surely a touch of liberality
would do no harm.
:20:23
Sandy, the kingdom of God
is not a democracy.
:20:26
The Lord never seeks re-election.
:20:29
There's no discussion, no deliberation,
:20:31
no referenda as to which road to take.
:20:34
There's one right, one wrong,
:20:37
one absolute ruler.
:20:39
- A dictator, you mean.
- Aye, but a benign, loving dictator.
:20:43
So much for your freedom of choice.
:20:46
You've still got a choice, Sandy.
:20:49
Nobody's forcing you to follow it.
:20:59
- Do you know what day it is?
- Yeah.
:21:01
- Tell me, then.
- Sunday.
:21:03
The Sabbath's not a day
for playing football, is it?
:21:06
No.
:21:07
- Are you up early in the morning?
- Me ma gets me up at seven.
:21:11
We'll have a game then, then. OK?
:21:13
Mr Liddell, is it OK if me da comes?
:21:15
Sure. Bring your whole family.
:21:17
I'll give ye a five-goal start.
:21:19
You've got a train to catch at nine.
:21:21
There's plenty of time.
:21:23
Do you want the kid to grow up
thinking God's a spoilsport?
:21:30
If I may, I'd like to propose a toast.
:21:33
To the Liddell family,
:21:35
whom I'm fortunate enough
to call my friends.
:21:37
The Reverend JD, Mrs L, young Ernest.
:21:41
Bon voyage and safe journey back to China.
:21:44
May the years ahead be happy and content.
:21:46
For those who remain,
may God protect them,
:21:50
inspire them
:21:51
and lead them to glory.
:21:53
Thank you, Sandy. That was very nice.
:21:55
I'm relying on you now
to keep them all out of mischief.
:21:58
That I will, Mrs L. If they do transgress,
I'll pop the details on a postcard.
