and my father would take
this view...

:06:02
then it is better to worship
in rooms behind a blacksmith.

:06:06
But if the purpose
of a church...

:06:08
is also
a celebration of God...

:06:11
then I would say I am the most practical man
you have spoken to all year.

:06:16
It's like the stairs in the library.
It's what they call a pre...

:06:20
- Prefabricated.
- Yes. You can pack it in crates
and transport it by cart.

:06:24
- No, over ship.
- Yes, you can take it across
the Great Dividing Range!

:06:28
- We are mad to think of it.
- No! No, we are not mad!

:06:31
We-We-We... No! No!
We... We are not mad.

:06:36
Can you imagine
Mr. Hasset's face?

:06:40
- You will deliver it to him.
- I?

:06:44
- Yes, but surely you would...
- No, I cannot leave the works.

:06:47
- But you wouldn't...
- No, it's quite impossible.

:06:49
They're only just recovering
from my last absence.

:06:53
Then I shall...
:06:55
on your behalf.
:07:00
- Bellingen is approached by sea.
- Then I shall go by land.

:07:03
You cannot. It is largely
unmapped country.

:07:05
You think it is outside
my scope?

:07:08
- There is no shame in that.
- There is no truth in it, either.

:07:11
- I wager you I can do it.
You may nominate the date.
- This is madness.

:07:14
I am prepared
to wager you...

:07:16
that I can have the glass church
in Bellingen by, say...

:07:20
Good Friday.
:07:22
And what can you bet?
:07:28
- Ten guineas.
- No, that's not enough.

:07:32
What is enough?
:07:35
Your inheritance.
:07:38
My father may live
until he's 100.

:07:40
- He's not a rich man anyway.
- That makes no difference.

:07:42
- And you will bet? The same amount?
- Same.

:07:44
The same.
:07:47
My inheritance.
:07:49
- But you already have it.
- Yes.

:07:51
- Your works?
- Yes, everything.

:07:55
You... You will wager
all that?

:07:57
Yes.
