He says we can stay.
:26:36
I never knew
you could paint like that...

:26:38
...simply with grasses
and things of that kind.

:26:41
They fade, but there are no colors
like them while they last.

:26:46
I'd love to paint
or do anything like that.

:26:51
How do you begin?
What is it that you do?

:26:54
I don't do anything.
My hand just moves, and I follow it.

:26:58
That's it.
Your hand moves, mine doesn't.

:27:01
I can't trust my hands.
:27:03
You must learn if you want them
to lead you to things you love.

:27:07
No, I'm afraid I have
a scholar's mind, not an artist's.

:27:10
It's a very different faculty,
you know.

:27:12
You have the gift of tongues.
That's a great gift.

:27:15
But it's nothing compared to you.
:27:18
I've studied them. I know the grammar,
but you've invented one of your own.

:27:22
- That's the greatest gift.
- I didn't invent it.

:27:25
- It was taught to me by my people.
- You actually hear it, then?

:27:28
I mean, you actually
hear them speaking it?

:27:30
Oh, I'd love to hear it. I'm fascinated
by languages, you know.

:27:34
Do you think they would
speak it to me?

:27:38
Perhaps you would teach me.
:27:39
I wouldn't be allowed to teach you
without approval.

:27:42
It's a language very few
are permitted to speak.

:27:44
But what would I have to do?
I'm sure I could persuade them.

:27:48
You would have to demonstrate great
courage and a great capacity for joy.

:27:52
But I can. But I can.
You don't understand me.
