:55:04
The amphitheater is being built.
:55:07
You descend the steps
with a bouquet of cornflowers,
:55:11
ears of corn and poppies.
:55:13
Every Convention deputy should have one.
:55:18
A dummy will represent Atheism.
:55:21
You take the torch, set it aflame.
:55:24
The Statue of Wisdom appears from below.
:55:28
Then onward to the Champs de Mars.
You walk 10 feet ahead of the deputies.
:55:34
Why alone? We walk together.
:55:37
But you preside the Convention.
:55:42
Hello, Etienne.
:55:43
Maximilien...
This is my companion, Citizen Quesnet.
:55:48
Citizen...
:55:51
Your son?
:55:54
Yes, citizen.
:55:57
Your Fournier is a good republican.
:56:00
He's not afraid to perform his duty.
:56:04
Will you attend
the Fete of the Supreme Being?
:56:09
She'll attend.
:56:11
It will be a fete like no other.
A fatal blow to atheism.
:56:15
Don't cry victory yet.
:56:18
Atheism is a vice of the mind.
:56:20
Born of the aristocracy,
it still distills its poison.
:56:25
You will only carry a bouquet of flowers,
:56:29
an offering to the Nation.
:56:58
God wouldn't save the King.
