:55:04
Experience is a brutal teacher.
:55:08
But you learn.
:55:11
My God, you learn.
:55:18
I really do think
one or two of us should have gone.
:55:20
Certainly not.
We hardly knew the woman.
:55:23
I haven't even seen him
for a couple of weeks.
:55:25
I wouldn't say this to Jack,
but better sooner than later.
:55:29
- Is he taking it very hard?
- Yes, I'm afraid so.
:55:32
Rupert, could we have a word together
after all?
:55:34
- Yes, sir.
- Evening, Jack.
:55:35
Good evening.
:55:38
I wasn't going to come,
but then I thought I would.
:55:41
Life must go on.
:55:44
I don't know that it must,
but it certainly does.
:55:47
- I'm sorry, Jack.
- Thank you, Christopher.
:55:49
- We're all deeply sorry.
- Thank you.
:55:53
Anything I can do?
:55:55
Yes, just don't tell me
it's all for the best, that's all.
:55:58
Only God knows
why these things have to happen, Jack.
:56:01
- God knows, but does God care?
- Of course.
:56:04
We see so little here.
We're not the creator.
:56:10
We're the creatures, aren't we?
:56:12
We're the rats
in the cosmic laboratory.
:56:15
I've no doubt the experiment
is for our own good, but...
:56:17
it still makes God the vivisectionist,
doesn't it?
:56:23
It won't do.
:56:26
It's this bloody awful mess,
and that's all there is to it.
:56:31
I'm sorry. I am sorry.
:56:35
Just not fit company tonight,
that's all.
:56:46
- Yes?
- Your grief is your own business.
:56:48
Maybe you feel life is a mess.
But there's Douglas.
:56:51
- What about Douglas?
- Talk to him.
:56:52
- I don't know what to say to him.
- Just talk to him!
