:50:07
The Christians go around
pretending they know
:50:09
who God is and how he works.
:50:11
I've no time
for that tomfoolery.
:50:13
If you don't know something,
:50:14
you should stand up and say so,
:50:16
not pretend you believe
in some mumbo-jumbo.
:50:19
I can believe in anything,
provided it's incredible.
:50:21
That's why I intend
to die a Catholic,
:50:23
though I couldn't
possibly live as one.
:50:25
Catholicism is such
a romantic religion.
:50:27
It has saints and sinners.
:50:29
The Church of England
only has respectable people
:50:32
who believe in respectability.
:50:33
You get to be a bishop
not by what you believe,
:50:36
but by what you don't.
:50:39
That's true enough!
:50:40
It's the only church
:50:42
where the sceptic
stands at the altar
:50:44
and St Thomas the Doubter
:50:45
is prince of the apostles.
:50:47
No, I couldn't possibly die
in the Church of England.
:50:50
Where do you stand
on cremation?
:50:53
I'm not sure I have a position.
:50:57
I'm for it.
:51:00
I wrote a poem.
:51:01
"When I am dead, cremate me. "
:51:05
That's how it begins.
:51:06
"When I am dead, cremate me. "
:51:08
What do you think of that
for an opening line?
:51:14
It's... challenging.
:51:15
I'm a challenging sort of man.
:51:17
That's why people don't like me.
:51:19
I don't go along with the
ordinary ways of thinking.
:51:22
Then we are exactly alike.
:51:25
Another glass of brandy?
:51:28
I find that alcohol,
taken in sufficient quantities,
:51:31
can produce all the effects
of drunkenness.
:51:34
You were there for ages.
:51:36
You stayed talking
till after four.
:51:38
I knew you'd like him
once you'd met him.
:51:41
He's got charm, I admit that.
:51:43
But that's bad.
:51:45
Men shouldn't be charming.
:51:47
It's disgusting.
:51:48
Don't think much of his action.
:51:51
Let's have a look at the bay.
:51:53
Mind you,
Wilde's no fool.
:51:55
Talks wonderfully.
Really wonderfully.
:51:57
But that means nothing
:51:58
when what he says
is such rot.
