:19:00
when it comes to dosing it down the boy's
throat, he's my son as well as hers.
:19:05
Bloody religion.
:19:07
lt's our only problem in this house, but
it's insuperable. l don't mind admitting it.
:19:12
You must excuse my husband, Doctor.
:19:15
This one subject is something of
an obsession with him.
:19:18
lsn't it, dear? You must admit.
:19:20
Call it what you like.
All that stuff, to me, is just bad sex.
:19:23
-What has that got to do with Alan?
-Everything, Dora.
:19:27
l don't understand. What are you saying?
:19:36
Mr. Strang, exactly how informed
would you judge your son to be, about sex?
:19:43
l don't know.
:19:44
You didn't actually instruct him yourself?
:19:48
Well, not in so many words, no.
:19:52
Did you, Mrs. Strang?
:19:54
Well, l spoke a little. Yes, l had to.
:19:57
Let me help you.
:19:59
What sort of things did you tell him?
l'm sorry if this is embarrassing.
:20:04
l told him the biological facts.
:20:07
But l also told him what l believed...
:20:10
that sex is not just a biological matter,
but a spiritual one as well...
:20:16
that if God willed,
he would fall in love one day.
:20:19
-Sugar?
-Thank you.
:20:21
That his task was to prepare himself
for the most important happening of his life.
:20:27
And after that, if he was lucky,
he would come to know a higher love, still.
:20:35
There, now, Dora. lt's all right. Come on.
:20:39
-You always laugh, as usual.
-No one is laughing, Dora.
