:52:10
- What did those men at the gates want?
- I don't know... Food.
:52:17
- Have they no farms?
- I'm sorry?
:52:21
- Why were they idle?
- Tell me, did you see his chest?
:52:27
- Yes. It was marked.
- No, it wasn't.
:52:31
It was branded, the mark burnt into him
with a red-hot iron.
:52:37
Do you know why?
Because he'd been caught begging.
:52:41
Can you think how
he may have fallen into beggary?
:52:48
The land he used to farm,
on which he had much work to do,
:52:53
belonged to poor monks in monasteries,
who allowed poor people to grow food.
:52:59
Until men like our fathers
stripped the monasteries,
:53:03
fenced in the common land,
drove the peasants from their fields
:53:08
and passed unholy laws
branding them for beggary!
:53:11
- They threw all that money back at you...
- Money!
:53:15
Do you know what's happened
to the value of money?
:53:23
What's that?
:53:26
- A penny.
- No, it isn't...it's a shilling.
:53:31
- It can't be. Shillings are made of silver.
- Should be.
:53:35
Used to be...but not now.
:53:39
Which is why a shilling isn't worth
a shilling any more.
:53:44
You've really no idea what's going on,
have you?
:53:48
- I know the priests were all corrupt.
- No doubt.
:53:52
- They told the people to worship icons.
- That concerns me less.
:53:58
- You're talking of your soul.
- No, you are talking of your mind!
