:50:08
Master?
:50:12
There's something I must tell you.
:50:16
I know.
:50:20
Then, will you hear my confession?
:50:23
I'd rather you told me
first as a friend.
:50:34
Master...
:50:37
Have you ever been...
:50:43
in love?
:50:45
In love?
:50:47
- Many times.
- You were?
:50:50
Of course. Aristotle, Ovid,
Virgil...
:50:54
- No. I meant with a...
- Oh. Ah.
:50:58
Are you not confusing love
with lust?
:51:03
Am I?
:51:06
I don't know.
:51:09
I want her own good.
:51:14
I want her to be happy.
I want to save her from her poverty.
:51:21
Oh, dear!
:51:22
- Why "oh, dear"?
- You are in love.
:51:27
Is that bad?
:51:30
For a monk it does present
certain problems.
:51:34
But doesn't St Thomas Aquinas
praise love above all other virtues?
:51:37
Yes, the love of God, Adso.
The love of God!
:51:47
And the love of... woman?
:51:50
Of woman, Thomas Aquinas
knew precious little.
:51:54
But the Scriptures are very clear.
Proverbs warns us:
:51:59
Woman takes possession of a
man's precious soul.
