- Shut up, Risley.
I'm trying to make a serious point...
:18:04
which is that a masculine love
of physical beauty and of moral beauty...
:18:08
and of the beauty
of the thirst for human knowledge -
:18:11
you omit that and you've omitted
the mainstay of Athenian society.
:18:15
It's as if our benighted dean
hadn't even read The Symposium.
:18:19
- You read it, Hall?
- No, no, you missed the point.
:18:23
You have to maintain
some standards of decency.
:18:25
No, you don't.
Not if they're propped up by tenth-hand opinion.
:18:28
- Typical of you, I may say.
- Western civilization...
:18:31
happens to be run on the principles
of Christ's doctrines, not Plato's bloody essences.
:18:35
What exactly do you mean by Christ's doctrines?
They're open to all sorts of interpretations.
:18:41
You know: The redemption, the Trinity.

# Three in one #
:18:48
#And one in three #
:18:51
# Ruler of the earth and sea #
:18:55
# Hear us while #
:18:57
Damn Christ's doctrines.
I can't prove them...
:18:59
but they mean a lot to millions of people,
whatever you say.
:19:02
# Holy Child and Son ##
:19:05
# Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord #
:19:12
- Hall.
- #And my mouth shall show thy praise #
:19:16
# For thou desirest no sacrifice #
:19:22
# Else would I #
:19:26
# Give it #
:19:31
# Thee #
:19:34
# But thou delightest not #
:19:40
# In burnt offerings ##
:19:50
- That was enormously embarrassing.
- I did actually say 6:00.
:19:53
You just made me
walk out of chapel.
