:27:00
"to clean-living citizens
of this country.
:27:03
"He paints people who seem to be
slaves of cocaine or similar,
:27:07
"which has reduced them to
frenzied and shameless morbidity.
:27:11
"Today, however, not content with
scorning standards of public decency,
:27:16
"he profanes the most sacred image
of Christianity, the Crucifixion."
:27:21
As if I give a damn about
these Wesleyans, these wowsers.
:27:24
Well, it's quite a lot of people
who hold the Crucifixion sacred.
:27:28
- Anyway, you're busy.
- Mr Campion, I am an artist
:27:31
and I refuse to be compromised by
the scruples of the public!
:27:35
- Scruples or beliefs?
- And this Crucifixion business.
:27:39
When I was a boy,
:27:41
my mother used to try to instruct us
on the sad story of Jesus,
:27:44
how He died on the cross for us.
:27:46
My whole being rose in revolt
against the idea!
:27:49
It's a vile notion
that a god should sacrifice himself
:27:53
for the sins of mankind,
it's a pestilent notion.
:27:56
- Well, I couldn't agree with that.
- Hang on.
:27:59
As for the suffering my poor pictures
will cause a few people,
:28:02
it's nothing compared to
the suffering the Church has caused.
:28:06
The burning of witches,
the Spanish lnquisition,
:28:10
the slaughter of pagan tribes
and so on.
:28:12
Anyway, there we are.
:28:14
Must get back to work.
:28:19
I don't think the Church
can be blamed
:28:21
for everything done in-in-in-in its
name but we'll take this up later.
:28:30
Well, now, here's a thing.
:28:32
You see the article in here about
Atlantis? There's a new theory.
:28:37
Off Norway, they reckon.
:28:40
When it sank,
it must've caused a tidal wave,
:28:42
so they're looking at
old Nordic texts
:28:45
to see if there's any evidence
of flooding.
:28:50
You're disgusting, Sheela.
You should be in a sty.
:28:57
- Watch this. Watch Giddy's skin.
- Don't you dare. Don't, Sheela.
