:21:02
The doctor will tell you what to do
and I will see that you do it.
:21:05
We will fight the plague.
:21:13
Well, if I have to be quarantined,
I couldn't pick prettier company.
:21:16
I'm sorry.
:21:19
Actually, I wish you weren't here at all,
that you were safe away.
:21:24
That's what I really mean.
That's what I should have said.
:21:30
Wash all you want to.
You cannot wash away evil.
:21:34
There is one among us
who brings punishment on us all.
:21:38
If you'd forget about the evil spirits
just long enough to pass us the towels...
:21:42
I'd be greatly obliged to you.
:21:47
What nonsense the old woman talks.
:21:50
It sounds no stranger to me than some
of the things you've been saying.
:21:53
Good winds and bad winds.
:21:55
I've explained that to you.
The disease is transmitted by fleas.
:21:59
Their bodies have
an 80% moisture content.
:22:02
The hot wind from the south
literally burns them away.
:22:06
If the sirocco blows,
all danger will be over in 24 hours.
:22:11
Kyra sounds just as logical to me.
:22:13
That the gods send plague to punish men
for harboring the Vorvolaka.
:22:17
- Vorvolaka? What's that?
- Some old peasant superstition.
:22:20
An elemental wolf-spirit.
:22:23
Some such thing in human form.
:22:26
They say it drains people of their strength
and vitality until they die.
:22:30
Kyra will tell you that there's more to it.
:22:32
That the Vorvolaka is an evil
for which the gods punish us mortals.
:22:36
I suppose the next thing you know
she'll be telling us that the Vorvolaka...
:22:40
walks among us. What nonsense.
:22:43
The doctor is the doctor,
and we'll do as he says.
:22:46
Certainly. But one might as well
go out on the cliff...
:22:49
and build a votive fire to Hermes.
:22:51
- Not that I believe in Hermes, either.
- You had better believe in the doctor.
:22:55
- He's the only one who can save us.
- We'll make a wager.
:22:58
The doctor can use his science,
I'll pray to Hermes.
