Just bring your mule and you'll get
40 gallons of water like the rest of us.

:17:05
One: I haven't got a mule,
only a donkey.

:17:08
Two: 40 gallons are enough
for a cafe but not my field.

:17:12
Three: I paid for spring water,
not truck water.

:17:16
- The truck water must be spring water.
- Not from my spring! I want my water.

:17:22
Stop yelling. You're driving us mad.
:17:26
What about my aubergines?
:17:29
And my tomatoes are just ripening.
:17:32
It's the same for everyone.
:17:34
Damn that!
I've paid and I want my water.

:17:38
The spring's dry.
How can we get water?

:17:42
I don't care,
as long as I get mine back.

:17:45
And you - mind your own business!
:17:47
You may be a councillor
but I didn't vote for you.

:17:51
Who cares about your vote?
:17:53
- Why us? Who do you think we are?
- Water thieves!

:18:01
Stop! Stop it!
:18:12
Good morning.
:18:14
Today's my birthday and I'd like to
invite you over for a drink after Mass.

:18:20
I had no say over my birth date.
:18:27
Dearly beloved, I am truly happy
:18:31
to see you all gathered
in our little church.

:18:34
The whole parish is here,
:18:36
including some clever folks
- too clever, perhaps -

:18:40
who generally ignore Mass
and hang around in the cafe.

:18:44
I won't name it - it's our only cafe
- or name them,

:18:48
since everyone's staring at them already.
:18:52
I hope this shames them,
rather than making them laugh.

:18:56
Your hands are joined, your eyes moist.
Today you are all steeped in faith.
