:58:01
neither before
nor after I left...

:58:04
I'd find elsewhere
what I wasn't given here.

:58:07
And what weren't you given?
:58:11
I wanted to have my place
at the family table.

:58:14
So that's why
you abandoned us?

:58:18
Because you didn't have
a seat at the table?

:58:23
I have never
abandoned you, Father.

:58:26
All I did, when I went away,
was to spare you from watching me...

:58:29
surviving on my own guts.
:58:31
Yet there was always
bread on our table...

:58:33
and you were never forbidden
to sit down with the family...

:58:35
on the contrary...
:58:36
all we ever wanted was to have
you at our table.

:58:41
I'm not talking about
that kind of food.

:58:43
Share only that bread may in
some cases be just a cruelty...

:58:47
it would only
perpetuate my hunger.

:58:49
What are you talking about?
:58:50
- It doesn't matter.
- This was a blasphemy!

:58:52
No. Father this
wasn't blasphemy.

:58:54
I spoke like a saint
for the first time in my life.

:59:00
You're not well, son.
:59:05
A few days work with your
brothers will quieten your pride...

:59:09
you'll recover your health
very soon.

:59:13
I'm not interested
in the health you talk about.

:59:14
There's always a seed
of disease in it...

:59:16
just as there's a strong seed
of health in my illness.

:59:18
Forget your whims, son.
:59:20
Mixing up our ideas is pointless.
:59:23
Don't try to keep me out
of your problems.

:59:26
I don't believe in the discussion
of my problems.

:59:29
I don't believe in
exchanging ideas.

:59:32
One plant can never
see the other.

:59:34
Conversation is
very important, son.

:59:37
Every word,
indeed is a seed.

:59:40
If I lived ten lives,
I'd still think that talking...

:59:43
is like an overripe fruit.
:59:46
You're young, naturally selfish...
:59:49
you think only of the fruit
when planting.

:59:52
The harvest isn't the greatest
reward, when we sow...

:59:55
we are grateful just by knowing
our lives are meaningful.

:59:59
There is glory in the long
cultivation...
