2:02:02
swear by holy writ
and by the living God...
2:02:10
that all I have said,
say and will say...
2:02:20
is the whole truth
and nothing but the truth."
2:02:30
Alexander, my boy.
2:02:34
You remember that the two of us
2:02:37
had an important conversation
about a year ago.
2:02:41
It concerned certain moral questions.
2:02:43
It wasn't really a conversation.
2:02:48
What do you mean?
2:02:50
The bishop spoke
and Alexander said nothing.
2:02:54
And felt ashamed, perhaps,
on account of your lies.
2:02:58
I've grown wiser since then.
2:03:02
You mean you lie better.
2:03:04
More or less.
2:03:14
I don't know what you imagine.
2:03:16
Do you think you can besmirch
another person's honour with impunity?
2:03:23
I think the bishop hates Alexander.
That's what I think.
2:03:28
Oh, so that's what you think.
2:03:33
I'll tell you something
2:03:36
that may come as a surprise.
2:03:41
I don't hate you.
2:03:45
I love you.
2:03:48
But the love I feel for you
2:03:54
and your mother and sister
2:03:56
is not blind and sloppy.
2:03:59
It is strong and harsh.
