Not quite ready.
1:01:19
Can't you get
your hands free, father?
1:01:21
I'm afraid not, my dear...
1:01:23
what with Dr. Scarabus having
turned me into a statue...
1:01:25
and then binding me like this.
1:01:28
l know l...
1:01:30
l know I'm a disgrace.
1:01:32
l had a somewhat
stronger word in mind.
1:01:35
But, son, you know
that everything...
1:01:38
I've tried in life
l was a failure.
1:01:40
Only...
1:01:42
Only the day I joined
the brotherhood of magicians.
1:01:48
l was the happiest man on earth.
1:01:51
l still remember
how happy I was.
1:01:54
And then when Dr. Scarabus
offered to teach me...
1:01:58
superior magical knowledge
for luring Dr. Craven here...
1:02:05
l just couldn't resist
that magnificent award.
1:02:10
But, Erasmus, believe me...
1:02:13
with all my heart,
l regret what I did to you.
1:02:17
You are not alone in guilt, sir.
1:02:19
l, too, have failed
at the task of living.
1:02:22
Oh, no.
Oh, yes.
1:02:25
Instead of facing life,
l turned my back on it.
1:02:29
l know now why my father
resisted Scarabus--
1:02:32
because he knew that one cannot
fight evil by hiding from it.
1:02:37
Men like Scarabus thrive
on the apathy of others.
1:02:40
He's thrived on mine,
and that offends me.
1:02:43
By avoiding contact
with the brotherhood...
1:02:45
I've given him freedom...
1:02:47
to commit his atrocities
unopposed.
1:02:51
You sure have.
1:02:53
I'm sorry.
1:02:54
Bravo, Erasmus.
A splendid dissertation.
