: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.
:34:02
l don't!
:34:04
There's no merit about being in pain,
that's just pure old masochism.

:34:08
l'm talking about passion, Hesther.
:34:11
You know what that word meant originally?
Suffering.

:34:14
The way you get your own spirit
through your own suffering.

:34:17
Self-chosen. Self-made.
This boy's done that.

:34:22
He's created his own desperate ceremony...
:34:26
just to ignite one flame of original ecstasy
in the spiritless waste around him.

:34:31
All right...
:34:34
he's destroyed for it, horribly.
:34:36
He's virtually been destroyed by it.
:34:38
One thing l know for sure,
that boy has known a passion...

:34:41
more ferocious than l have known
in any second of my life.

:34:44
Let me tell you something. l envy it.
:34:47
-You can't.
-Don't you see?

:34:49
That's what his stare has said all this time.
:34:51
''At least l galloped. When did you?''
