:41:02
That's what people always say.
:41:05
But there's no such thing as secrecy.
:41:08
You may be the soul of discretion...
:41:11
but you know about it...
:41:13
and the fact that you express
your consent and understanding...
:41:17
does not save me from you.
:41:20
l am, and l remain...
:41:22
from this moment on,
an object of your sympathy.
:41:26
Every word you hear me say to my wife
is subject to your control.
:41:31
lf my wife talks about being faithful...
:41:34
or, as women do...
:41:36
sits in judgement over others...
:41:38
l shan't know where to look.
:41:41
Or suppose l urge...
:41:43
reconciliation in some
everyday affair of honour...
:41:46
because no ill intent is involved.
:41:49
A smile will cross your face...
:41:51
or it will twitch, at least...
:41:54
and in your heart you'll say,
''Good old lnnstetten...
:41:59
''has a passion for analysing
the chemical content of all insults...
:42:05
''but he never finds the precise amount
of poison they contain.
:42:09
''He can swallow anything.''
:42:12
Am l right, or not?
:42:18
lt's a terrible thought, but you're right.
:42:23
l'll stop asking, ''Does it have to be?''
:42:26
The world is as it is.
:42:28
Things don't work out as we want them to,
but as others want.
:42:33
All that talk about divine punishment...
:42:35
is nonsense, of course.
:42:39
On the contrary...
:42:41
our cult of honour is idolatry...
:42:46
but we have to submit to it,
as long as the idol stands.
