:17:00
with Scarabus
a rival for his power...
:17:02
every moment of the time.
:17:04
l didn't know that.
:17:06
Yes. It's precisely because...
:17:08
of the painful memories
of those years...
:17:11
that I never saw fit
to join the brotherhood.
:17:15
Tell me, if your father
was grand master...
:17:19
then by direct line
of ascension...
:17:21
you could claim the mastership
for yourself.
:17:24
Heaven forbid, no.
:17:26
No, I prefer to practice
my magic quietly at home.
:17:32
But you were telling me
how it happened.
:17:35
It was the result
of too much wine.
:17:38
l became abusive...
:17:40
and then I became critical
of his abilities.
:17:42
Yes?
:17:44
And then I challenged him
to a duel.
:17:47
Of magic?
:17:48
The whole thing
was completely unfair.
:17:50
l was just getting my magical
equipment ready, and then--
:17:54
All he did was a few gestures
in the air with his hands.
:17:57
You mean, he...
only used his hands?
:18:01
Yes. What of it?
:18:03
Then his skill is far greater
than I ever had dreamed of.
:18:07
Far greater? He was cheating.
:18:09
No, Dr. Bedlo.
:18:12
Magic by gesture of the hands
is the most advanced sorcery.
:18:16
l don't agree with you at all.
l can't agree.
:18:19
lf I would have been sober--
:18:21
which I admit doesn't happen
very often, but--
:18:23
it would have been
an entirely different story...
:18:26
entirely different.
:18:28
And I'll get my revenge
on him yet. You'll see.
:18:31
With all my heart,
sir, I tell you--
:18:34
do not go back there.
:18:50
Hard place to keep clean, huh?
:18:52
Yes. I very seldom
get down here.
