:45:04
It seemed to me at the time, Barabbas,
when you were given your liberty before...
:45:08
...it wasn't a fortunate exchange.
:45:11
They were calling for death and disorder
when they called your name.
:45:15
This is what I thought
and this is what has occurred.
:45:19
They put the scourge back into the fist.
:45:22
By that I mean you and your life.
:45:24
And many men have suffered
and died in consequence.
:45:27
The other man, too.
They're dying because of that.
:45:31
This is a local matter,
which I hope will soon be adjusted.
:45:35
The shock and fear
of an unreasoning fanaticism will pass.
:45:40
But the appetite to destroy...
:45:42
...which, alas, the human being shares
with the wild beast, is always with us.
:45:46
And it has rigorously to be disciplined
in the name of civilization...
:45:50
-...and according to the law.
-That's what you say.
:45:53
But I tell you, whichever side of the law
we're on, we're the same men.
:45:56
You and your kind, and me and my kind.
:45:59
How else have you lived except my way?
What we haven't got, we go out and take.
:46:06
Let him speak.
:46:12
How else have you lived except my way?
:46:16
Whoever's against us or gets in our way,
we get rid of.
:46:21
My knife may have bitten a few throats,
but what about your weapons?
:46:25
They've split thousands upon thousands.
:46:29
If I've taken a passing woman to myself...
:46:33
...your armies have looted and raped
across continents.
:46:36
And have been called
the glory of the earth for doing it.
:46:39
You were born according to the law
and raised according to the law.
:46:43
I was born by a girl
thrown out of a brothel...
:46:47
...who gave birth and cursed me
before she died.
:46:49
But I tell you, we belong to the same herd.
:46:52
Unfortunately for you, Barabbas,
the law is indispensable.
:46:56
The law is the pass and permit
to life in this world.
:46:59
You were without it.
