2:06:01
Why must I be punished?
2:06:05
That is obvious, my boy.
2:06:08
You have a weakness in your character.
2:06:11
You can't distinguish lies from truth.
2:06:13
So far they are just child's lies,
however dreadful they may be.
2:06:20
But soon you will be
a grown man, Alexander,
2:06:25
and life punishes liars
ruthlessly and indiscriminately.
2:06:31
The punishment is to teach you
2:06:35
a love of truth.
2:06:39
I confess I made it up about locking
your wife and children in.
2:06:44
- Do you also confess to perjury?
- I suppose so.
2:06:50
Now you've won a great victory,
2:06:57
a victory over yourself.
2:07:03
Which punishment do you choose?
2:07:05
Cane, castor oil
or the dark cubby-hole?
2:07:09
- How many strokes of the cane?
- Ten.
2:07:12
Then I choose the cane.
2:07:18
Take two cushions
and put them on the table.
2:07:26
Pull your pants down.
2:07:32
Bend over.
