:30:00
God has blessed us so much
I can't afford to feed you anymore.

:30:04
Couldn't you have your balls cut off?
:30:07
It's not as simple as that, Nigel.
God knows all.

:30:10
He'd see through such a cheap trick.
What we do to ourselves, we do to him.

:30:15
You could have had them
pulled off in an accident.

:30:19
No. Children, I know you're trying to help,
but believe me, my mind's made up.

:30:23
I've given this long and careful thought...
:30:27
and it has to be medical experiments
for the lot of you.

:30:32
Every sperm is sacred
:30:37
Every sperm is great
:30:42
Look at them. Bloody Catholics.
:30:44
Filling the bloody world up with people
they can't afford to bloody feed.

:30:49
What are we, dear?
:30:50
Protestant, and fiercely proud of it.
:30:53
Why do they have so many children?
:30:56
Every time they have sexual intercourse
they have to have a baby.

:31:00
- But it's the same with us, Harry.
- What do you mean?

:31:03
I mean we've got two children,
and we've had sexual intercourse twice.

:31:08
That's not the point.
We could have it any time we wanted.

:31:11
- Really?
- And what's more, since we don't believe...

:31:14
in all that papist claptrap,
we can take precautions.

:31:18
What you mean, lock the door?
:31:19
No. I mean because we're members
of the Protestant Reformed Church...

:31:23
which successfully challenged
the autocratic power of the Papacy...

:31:27
in the mid-16th century, we can wear
little rubber devices to prevent issue.

:31:31
What do you mean?
:31:32
I could, if I wanted,
have sexual intercourse with you.

:31:34
Oh, yes, Harry.
:31:36
And, by wearing a rubber sheath
over my old fellow...

:31:39
I could ensure that when I came off,
you would not be impregnated.

:31:43
That's what being a Protestant's all about.
That's why it's the church for me.

:31:47
That's why it's the church
for anyone who respects the individual...

:31:50
and the individual's right
to decide for him or herself.

:31:53
When Martin Luther nailed his protest
up to the church door in 1517...

:31:58
he may not have realised
the full significance of what he was doing...
