The climax comes
at a higher cost.
:21:03
- You must sit on my lap.
:21:05
- You demand a lot from your readers.
:21:09
The story's thrilling conclusion
comes at a premium.
:21:14
- What's that then ?
- Your maidenhead.
:21:16
And then you must sew it up
as tightly as the day you were born,
:21:19

Some things belong on paper...
:21:26

Blessed fool who can't tell
the difference-
:21:32

:21:42

of wine, Abbe ?
:22:02
It's not even noon.
:22:04

of the anatomy,
:22:07

when it's lubricated.
:22:11
This is a rare vintage from
an obscure village in Bordeaux.
:22:16
Rather than crush the grape
underfoot, they place the fruit
on the belly of a bride,
:22:21
reap its juices
when the young husband
steers his vessel into port.
:22:28
Full-bodied flavor,
just a hint of wantonness.
:22:36
Bottoms up.
:22:47
It's from our own cellar.
I recognize the taste.
:22:51
I should have told you
it was the blood of Christ.
:22:55
You'd believe that,
wouldn't you ?
