:34:39
Since you live amongst
the nobility, tell us:

:34:42
what do the lords say
about this war ?

:34:47
What does the Prince Salina
think, as proud as he is ?

:34:54
You see, the lords, as you call
them, are not easily understood.

:35:00
They live in their own universe,
which was not created by God,

:35:06
but by themselves,
through centuries

:35:09
of painful
and joyful experiences.

:35:14
They rejoice or suffer for things
that mean nothing to us,

:35:21
but that are vital to them.
:35:25
l don't mean to say that the lords
are bad, on the contrary.

:35:28
They are just... different.
:35:33
They don't care about things
that are very important to us,

:35:37
but they are afraid
of things we ignore.

:35:41
Take the Prince Salina,
for example.

:35:43
He couldn't possibly bear
:35:45
to loose his house in Donnafugata,
where we're now going.

:35:49
But... if you ask him what
he thinks about the revolution,

:35:56
he'll say there was
no revolution at all,

:35:59
- ..that everything will be the
same as ever. - l hope not !
