:38:01
So now, what is it that you want?
:38:06
I want to see the book
in Greek you said was never written.
:38:10
A book entirely devoted to comedy,
which you hate...
:38:15
as much as you hate laughter.
:38:19
I want to see what is probably
the only surviving copy...
:38:25
of the 2nd book of the
poetics of Aristotle.
:38:27
William, what a magnificent
librarian you'd have been!
:38:33
Here is your well-earned
reward.
:38:40
Read it. Leaf through its secrets.
:38:48
You have won.
:38:58
Loos, schnell.
:39:17
"We shall now discuss the way comedy
stimulates all the like and ridiculous..."
:39:21
"by using vulgar persons..."
:39:24
"and taking pleasure from
their defects."
:39:29
- Carry on, William. Read it!
- Master, we must hurry.
:39:34
If the light is too dim
for you, give it to the boy...
:39:36
I'm sure he can read it.
:39:39
I would not want my faithful pupil
to turn your poisoned pages...
:39:44
not without the protection
of a glove, such as I am wearing.
:39:54
The door!
Quick, before it shuts us in!
