- Absolutely not.
- It needs roofing, painting.

:59:05
Slow down, Father.
Congratulate Mr. Chicó, first.

:59:09
Congratulations!
Repair the altar...

:59:12
polish the benches,
get a new bell.

:59:15
I think two hundred
crowns will do.

:59:19
Go ahead.
Mr. Chicó will pay for it.

:59:23
- Two hundred crowns?
- He's not used to little money.

:59:28
Two hundred! It's what you gave
your servant to run an errand!

:59:34
Pocket change.
:59:35
I'll lend it to you, to give
the priest as an advance.

:59:41
To be on the safe side,
let's get it on paper.

:59:45
Go to town and get me a copy
of the deed to Dr. Chicó's land...

:59:49
the farm of Serra Talhada...
:59:52
so we can use it as
collateral for the loan.

:59:55
You sign this contract.
I get the land...

:59:59
if the debt is not paid.
1:00:02
Go on!
What are you waiting for?

1:00:05
Why the deed, Major?
1:00:08
Dr. Chicó will prove a man's word
is worth more than his fortune.

1:00:12
He won't use
land as collateral.

1:00:16
Write it down: you will
be paid within a week...

1:00:19
or you can strip
the skin off his back.

1:00:23
Now, that's a brave man!
1:00:28
- Sign here.
- I can't!

1:00:32
He doesn't have his glasses.
Just stamp your finger.

1:00:39
You sign too, as a witness.
1:00:42
- My, how important I am!
- My, how dead I'll be!

1:00:47
That's how I like it.
1:00:50
- My skin! I like it so much!
- Stop your whining!

1:00:54
- It's my skin, and it's all I have!
- Exactly!

1:00:57
- What else could I have offered?
- Your tongue, so you'd shut up.
