Venice...
:35:02
...ever a noble republic...
:35:05
...home of learning...
:35:07
...art, commerce...
:35:11
...has been brought low
by war and plague.
:35:15
Do you know why?
:35:17
I am not that wise.
:35:19
Tell us...
:35:20
...how many...
:35:22
...of the worthy men of this city
have you taken into your chamber?
:35:27
I've not counted my lovers.
:35:35
Answer the question.
:35:38
Yes.
:35:39
More than 100?
:35:40
I don't know.
:35:41
You don't?
:35:42
Yet for each you paraded your
milky breast and hair of spun copper.
:35:46
For each you learned his
unique favored touch...
:35:49
...and enchanted him to believe
he was the only man in the universe.
:35:52
How many per week?
:35:54
I told you. I enchanted no one.
:35:56
Did you feign love with more than 10
weekly? Or would 5 or 6 have sated you?
:36:01
I never feigned love.
:36:02
So why'd they pay?
:36:06
For the dream of love...
:36:08
...as it cannot exist in this world
that you've created.
:36:13
For the hope there might exist
on earth some corner of this paradise...
:36:16
Paradise?
:36:19
When 56,000 have fallen?
:36:20
You say this.
:36:22
You...
:36:23
...who fill your home with feast
and dance while Venice suffers?
:36:27
Who creates a sumptuous
world of flesh...
:36:29
...and depravity, of orgiastic rites
invoking the devil?
:36:33
- This is paradise?
- The only devilry here is your spite!
:36:36
He's jealous of what he cannot have!
:36:38
Do not intrude into the proceedings.
:36:40
I'm a senator of Venice.
The Inquisition is here by our consent.
:36:43
This is an ecclesiastical court.
You are here by my consent.
:36:47
This is a personal vendetta.
:36:49
You will abide by our rules
or be removed.
:36:51
Is that understood?
:36:54
