If you give in, my lords,
the bright comet that is our faith

And why does the father run
to meet his prodigal son?
:47:46
Landowners don't run.
:47:47
Noblemen don't run.
:47:49
Princes don't run.
:47:52
So why does this rich,
landowning father run?
:47:59
Because he's afraid.
:48:01
He's so afraid that his son
will run back to the filthy pig farm.
:48:06
He runs
because he loves his son.
:48:09
And there's
a special word for this love.
:48:15
Compassion.
:48:17
Compassion.
:48:19
And you know

It's just a church bell, Martin,
:48:27
ringing the Angelus.
:48:34

Beloved princes of the Empire,
:48:59
I will be brief
and to the point.
