:26:00
I've heard all the voices
of God's noblest creature.

:26:05
Moans from bundles of filth
in the street.

:26:11
I've been a soldier and a slave.
:26:16
I've seen my comrades
fall in battle...

:26:18
or die more slowly
under the lash in Africa.

:26:21
I've held them
at the last moment.

:26:23
These were men
who saw life as it is.

:26:28
Yet they died despairing.
:26:32
No glory, no brave last words.
:26:38
Only their eyes,
filled with confusion...

:26:43
questioning why.
:26:46
I do not think they were
asking why they were dying...

:26:51
but why they had ever lived.
:26:57
When life itself seems lunatic,
who knows where madness lies?

:27:02
Perhaps to be too practical
is madness.

:27:04
To surrender dreams,
this may be madness.

:27:06
To seek treasure
where there is only trash...

:27:09
too much sanity may be madness!
:27:12
And maddest of all...
:27:14
to see life as it is
and not as it should be!

:27:19
I am I, Don Quixote
:27:21
The Lord of La Mancha
:27:24
Destroyer of evil am I
:27:28
I will march to the sound
:27:31
Of the trumpets of glory
:27:34
Forever to conquer or die
:27:41
I don't understand.
:27:42
Don't understand what,
my friend?

:27:45
Why you're so cheerful.
:27:46
First you find your lady,
then you lose her.

:27:49
Never lost.
:27:50
Well, she ran off
with those muleteers.

:27:52
Doubtless for some high purpose.
:27:54
High purpose
with those low characters?

:27:56
Sancho, always thine eye sees
evil in preference to good.
