Forgive us all.
1:54:09
Kiss the cross.
1:54:15
Marquis !
1:54:21
Marquis !
1:54:38
- No !

Welcome to Charenton, Abbe.
1:54:54
I'm pleased to have
the new post, sir.
1:54:56
Are you ?
Thank you.
1:54:59
I'm afraid our endowment
has shriveled to a mere pittance.
1:55:03
We are the laughingstock
of all France.
1:55:06
However, on a happier note,
1:55:09
the hospital is now
in my sole command.
1:55:13
My policy here is that
each man must earn his keep.
1:55:18
The Charenton Press, Abbe.
1:55:22
We produce books
for the discriminating collector.
1:55:27
The compulsive inmates
set the type.
1:55:35
The listless ones do the binding
and prepare the ink.
1:55:39
It's remarkable, Doctor.
1:55:41
The patients are
so subdued, so docile.
1:55:44
Yes, they are at peace.
1:55:46
They have the satisfaction that only
a hard day's labor can provide.
1:55:53
I don't believe it.

The Marquis de Sade ?
You're actually publishing his novels ?
