:32:00
and I'll be forced
to revoke all your liberties.
:32:04
It's that doctor fellow,
isn't it ?
:32:08
He's come to usurp
your place here, hasn't he ?
:32:11
Marquis, more than
your writing's at stake.
:32:15
The ministry has threatened us
with closure.
:32:17
Ah, they can't be serious !
:32:20
Our future lies
in the stroke of your pen.
:32:22
Mightier than the sword,
indeed.
:32:25
Put yourself in my place. I have
your fellow patients to consider.
:32:28
If Charenton folds, they have
no place to go, no manner
to clothe or feed themselves.
:32:33
Fuck them ! They're half-wits !
Let them die on the streets
as nature intended !
:32:37
You among them ?
:32:43
If ever I showed you
a kind hand, Marquis,
:32:47
if ever I granted you
walking privileges
on a spring day...
:32:50
or slipped an extra pillow
beneath your door,
:32:52
if ever I shared your wine,
laughed at your vulgarities
or humored you with argument,
:32:58
then you will oblige me now...
:33:00
for your sake...
and for all Charenton.
:33:03
You've a touch
of the poet too.
:33:06
Perhaps you should
take up the quill.
:33:08
- Do I have your word ?
- Honestly, you cut me to the core.
:33:14
What's the point of all your
valiant attempts at rehabilitation...
:33:17
if, when I finally succumb,
when at long last I pledge
myself to righteous conduct,
:33:21
you regard me
with nothing but suspicion ?
:33:26
Have you no faith
in your own medicine ?
:33:34
My, my.
:33:38
At Charenton,
even the walls have eyes.
:33:42
Don't they ?
:33:49
Well ?
:33:51
Well, I spoke to him
with reason and compassion,
:33:55
the tools which
serve us best here.
:33:57
- And ?
- He's sworn to obedience.
