:23:06
Please forgive me.
:23:10
l'm mad.
:23:15
Let's see. . .
:23:18
. . .where was l?
:23:21
Oh, yes! The master.
:23:25
He was kind, you see.
:23:28
He brought me to our
mutual acquaintance, Father Karras.
:23:33
Not too well at the time.
l'm afraid he. . .
:23:37
. . .was passing on in the dying mode,
as we say.
:23:42
So. . .
:23:44
. . .as Karras was about to slip out
of his body--
:23:49
ls this true?
:23:51
The master was slipping me in.
:23:56
There was some confusion when
the medics said that Karras was dead.
:24:01
He was dead, technically speaking.
:24:05
His time was up.
:24:08
He wanted out. But l was in.
:24:13
A little traumatized, true.
After all, his brain was jelly.
:24:19
Lack of oxygen and that sort of thing.
You understand?
:24:24
lt took a maximum effort. . .
:24:28
. . .that at last got me out
of that cheap little coffin!
:24:33
Vow of poverty, disgusting.
:24:37
Never mind.
:24:41
Toward the end, a little slapstick. . .
:24:45
. . .and comic relief
when old Brother Fain. . .
:24:48
. . .who was tending the body,
saw me climbing from the coffin.
:24:54
lt's the smiles that keep us going.
:24:57
The giggles and bits of good cheer.
