1:47:00
and I ask this
looking you in the eye...

1:47:03
that when my son and I
passed by you...

1:47:07
you and your father
got on your knees...

1:47:10
and we had to hit you
to make you get up?

1:47:18
Look at each other closely...
1:47:22
sons born of my cooks...
1:47:26
fathered by my stable boys.
1:47:30
You wanted to cage
the Count of Albrit...

1:47:36
who founded
the Fishermen's Fraternity...

1:47:40
who brought you water
from Santaorra...

1:47:44
who funded the Verola road...
1:47:47
and the bridge
over the Caudo river.

1:47:50
My parents built
the hospital...

1:47:53
and the foundling hospital
and the La Pardina chapel...

1:47:58
where you went...
1:48:00
to midnight mass
every Christmas Eve...

1:48:04
not out of
religious fervor...

1:48:08
but to receive the generous
Christmas boxes we offered you.

1:48:16
And how did you want to repay me
for all those favors?

1:48:20
By locking me up
like a rabid dog...

1:48:25
selling your consciences...
1:48:28
to the highest bidder!
1:48:33
Look at yourselves...
1:48:35
rooting around like pigs.
1:48:50
Listen carefully.
1:48:53
The poor lion of Albrit...
1:48:57
who asked nothing of you...
1:48:59
and needs nothing from you...
