Oh.
1:14:14
A church?
1:14:16
- Of glass.
- A glass church.

1:14:18
- Yes!
- It is not practical.

1:14:21
What is the practical
purpose of a church?

1:14:25
If it is only to provide
shelter to Christians...

1:14:27
and my father would take
this view...

1:14:29
then it is better to worship
in rooms behind a blacksmith.

1:14:33
But if the purpose
of a church...

1:14:35
is also
a celebration of God...

1:14:38
then I would say I am the most practical man
you have spoken to all year.

1:14:43
It's like the stairs in the library.
It's what they call a pre...

1:14:47
- Prefabricated.
- Yes. You can pack it in crates
and transport it by cart.

1:14:51
- No, over ship.
- Yes, you can take it across
the Great Dividing Range!

1:14:55
- We are mad to think of it.
- No! No, we are not mad!

1:14:58
We-We-We... No! No!
We... We are not mad.

1:15:03
Can you imagine
Mr. Hasset's face?

1:15:07
- You will deliver it to him.
- I?

1:15:11
- Yes, but surely you would...
- No, I cannot leave the works.

1:15:14
- But you wouldn't...
- No, it's quite impossible.

1:15:16
They're only just recovering
from my last absence.

1:15:20
Then I shall...
1:15:22
on your behalf.
1:15:27
- Bellingen is approached by sea.
- Then I shall go by land.

1:15:30
You cannot. It is largely
unmapped country.

1:15:32
You think it is outside
my scope?

1:15:35
- There is no shame in that.
- There is no truth in it, either.

1:15:38
- I wager you I can do it.
You may nominate the date.
- This is madness.

1:15:41
I am prepared
to wager you...

1:15:43
that I can have the glass church
in Bellingen by, say...

1:15:47
Good Friday.
1:15:49
And what can you bet?
1:15:55
- Ten guineas.
- No, that's not enough.

1:15:59
What is enough?
