:47:02
Yes.
I think you're right.
:47:11
Signora.
:47:14
Please stop being so sad.
:47:17
If you continue like this,
:47:19
I will be forced
to make love to you.
:47:22
And I've never been unfaithful
to my wife.
:47:38
Buonanotte, signora.
:47:40
Yes.
Buonanotte, Signor Martini.
:47:42
Grazie.
:47:45
Prego.
:47:57
A train track through the Alps
before there was a train.
:48:01
Signor Martini wants me
to have faith.
:48:03
Something I've never been good
at, and now I'm even worse at.
:48:07
Not that I don't want faith.
I'm jealous of the believers.
:48:11
But as a fallen-away Methodist,
:48:12
I do not expect to emerge
from all of this a Catholic,
:48:16
although I admit some
interior juggling is going on.
:48:20
To my surprise, I have become
friendly with Mary.
:48:23
It started the night she stood
by me through the storm,
:48:26
knowing full well
I'm not a Catholic.
:48:29
Yet, somehow, she seems more
like Mary, my favorite aunt,
:48:32
than Santa Maria.
:48:35
Aunt Mary is everywhere here,
her calm presence assuring us
:48:39
that all things will go on
as they have before.
