1:44:02
He was so impressed
by the marquis' tale...
1:44:05
that he chose
to reenact it, yes ?
1:44:10
Upon a certain chambermaid.
1:44:13
Perhaps you would be so kind
as to remind me of her name.
1:44:19
I beg you, Doctor,
don't make me say it.
1:44:23
Her name, Abbe.
1:44:27
Madeleine.
1:44:31
Tell me, Abbe,
1:44:33
when you are called
before God,
1:44:36
how will you answer
for Madeleine's death ?
1:44:50
- Murderer.
1:45:00
Your words-
1:45:02
Your words drove Bouchon to-
1:45:05
Oh, for fuck's sake, Abbe !
1:45:07
Suppose one of your
precious inmates attempted
to walk on water and drowned ?
1:45:11
Would you condemn the Bible ?
I think not.
1:45:15
An innocent child is dead.
1:45:18
So many authors are denied
the gratification...
1:45:21
of a concrete response
to their work.
1:45:24
I'm blessed, am I not ?
1:45:30
It's no secret
that you loved her.
1:45:32
I wanted to fuck her, that's all.
1:45:35
- And did you ?
- It's not your province to ask.
1:45:39
- Why was it you never
took her by force ?
- Who's to say I did not ?
1:45:43
- Was it impotence ?
- Never !
1:45:45
Then... it must have been love.
1:45:48
I fucked her
countless times...
1:45:51
and all the while
she pleaded for more.
1:45:56
We inspected the body.
