Marguerite says you've been sleeping
on a bare mattress. True?
:44:07
-Yes, Mother.
-Why?
:44:11
In the medieval days,
nuns and monks slept in coffins.
:44:16
-It's not the Middle Ages.
-It made them holy.
:44:20
It made them uncomfortable.
:44:22
The next day they were
cranky as mules.
:44:25
Sister, where are your sheets?
:44:29
Do you think a bare mattress
is like a coffin?
:44:34
No.
:44:36
Then tell me,
where are your sheets?
:44:39
-I burned them.
-Why?
:44:44
They were stained.
:44:46
How many times have I told you
and your fellow novice...
:44:51
...that menstruation is natural
and not to be ashamed of?
:44:55
-Yes, Mother.
-Say it.
:44:57
It is a natural process
and nothing to be ashamed of.
:45:01
-Mean it.
-It is a perfectly natural....
:45:10
Years ago, one of the sisters came
to me in tears, seeking comfort...
:45:15
...because she was too old to have
children. Not that she wanted to.
:45:20
But once a month she'd been reminded
of the possibility of motherhood.
:45:25
Dry your eyes, Sister,
and thank God for that possibility.
:45:29
It's not that, it's not that.
:45:33
-What do you mean?
-It's not my time of month.
:45:38
-Should you see a doctor?
-I don't know what happened.
:45:42
There was blood on the
sheets, but I don't know why.
:45:46
I don't know what I did wrong.
:45:49
I don't know
why I should be punished.
:45:52
-For what?
-I don't know, I don't know.
:45:57
That was the beginning,
the night of the conception.
