1:09:01
I'm not wrong.
1:09:04
You're wrong.
1:09:13
You think
that I'm full of hatred.

1:09:15
I know what you think I am.
1:09:18
Do you?
1:09:19
Of course I do.
1:09:21
You think I'm a frightened,
repressed, confused...

1:09:25
abandoned young thing of
some doubtful sexuality...

1:09:28
who wants power and revenge,
don't you?

1:09:33
Yes, I do.
1:09:36
Isn't that better?
1:09:38
And I feel that
that is the first moment...

1:09:41
which you've treated me
with respect.

1:09:44
For you told me the truth.
1:09:46
I did not come here,
as you are assured, to gloat.

1:09:50
Why would I want to gloat?
1:09:51
I've profited nothing from,
as you say, your misfortune.

1:09:55
I came here...
1:09:57
as you did me the honor
to ask me here.

1:10:01
I came here
to tell you something...

1:10:03
If I may...
1:10:06
that I think...
1:10:09
that I think you've been wrong.
1:10:11
That I think
you've been terribly wrong.

1:10:14
Do you hate me now?
1:10:17
- Yes.
- Listen to me, Professor.

1:10:20
It is the power
that you hate so deeply...

1:10:22
that any atmosphere of
free discussion is impossible.

1:10:25
It's not unlikely.
It's impossible, isn't it?

1:10:28
- Isn't it?
- Yes, I suppose.

1:10:31
Now the thing
which you find so cruel...

1:10:33
is the self-same process
of selection...

1:10:35
that I and my group go through
every day of our lives...

1:10:39
in admittance to school...
1:10:40
in our tests,
in our class rankings.

1:10:46
You write that education
is just hazing.

1:10:49
But we work
to get to this school...

1:10:52
and some of us
overcame prejudices...

1:10:54
economic, sexual...
you cannot begin to imagine...

1:10:57
and endured humiliations that
I pray you and those you love...
