:32:02
that it was simply an aspirin.
:32:04
He'll believe me.
:32:07
Underneath all that glowering,
the boy trusts me.
:32:09
You realize that?
:32:10
l'm sure he does.
:32:12
Poor, bloody fool.
:32:13
Please, Martin, dear, don't start that again.
:32:20
Can you do anything worse to somebody
than to take away their worship?
:32:26
-Worship?
-Yes, that word again.
:32:29
lsn't that a little extreme?
:32:31
Extremity is the point.
:32:36
Worship isn't destructive, Martin.
l know that.
:32:40
l don't. l only know it's the core of his life.
:32:44
What else has he got? Think about it.
He can hardly read.
:32:48
He knows no physics or engineering
to make the world real to him...
:32:51
no paintings to show him
how others have enjoyed it...
:32:54
no music except television jingles...
:32:56
no history except
tales from a desperate mother...
:32:59
no friends to give him a joke
or make him know himself more moderately.
:33:04
He's a modern citizen
for whom society doesn't exist.
:33:07
He lives one hour every three weeks,
howling in a mist.
:33:11
''With my body, l thee worship.''
:33:15
Many men are less vital with their wives.
:33:18
All the same,
they don't blind their wives, do they?
:33:21
-Come on.
-Well, do they?
:33:23
You mean he's
a violent, dangerous madman...
:33:25
who'll go round the country
doing it again and again?
:33:28
l mean he's in pain, Martin.
He's been in pain for most of his life.
:33:34
Yes.
:33:35
And you can take it away.
:33:37
Yes.
:33:38
Then that's all you need to know, in the end.
:33:43
No.
:33:45
Why not?
:33:46
Because it is his.
:33:50
His?
:33:51
His pain.
:33:54
His own.
:33:56
He made it.
:33:58
l don't understand.
