:11:00
But here we favor an aggressive
course of treatment.
:11:04
- Quite.
:11:06
I do not seek popularity
or renown, Monsieur Delbene.
Mine is a higher mission.
:11:12
To take God's tiny blunders
and those He has forsaken...
:11:15
and condition them with
the same force, the same rigor...
:11:19
one would employ to train
a feral dog or a wild stallion.
:11:23
- This may not be pretty,
:11:27
but it is mercy
just the same.
:11:30
A few more months of this,
and he'll be fine.
:11:34
- It is the emperor's hope...
:11:37
that you bring your expertise,
your proficiency...
:11:40
- to the asylum at Charenton.
- I'm much better now.
:11:42
Charenton ? The administrator
there is quite well-loved, isn't he ?
:11:47
He's young, an idealist.
You'll have to be politic.
:11:50
- You know how
I define "idealism" ?
:11:54
Youth's final luxury.
:12:12
Not so hard. Don't force it.
:12:17
Let the quill guide you.
:12:21
Good.
:12:23
Slowly.
:12:25
We mustn't
just copy the words.
:12:28
It's important
that we know what they mean.
:12:31
St. Augustine tells us that angels and
demons walk among us on the Earth...
:12:36
and that sometimes they jointly
inhabit the soul of a single man.
:12:43
Then how can we know...
:12:45
who is truly good
and who is evil ?
:12:50
Well, we can't.
:12:54
All we can do is guard
against our own corruption.
