clapping his feet at his torturer.
1:01:06
The ugly, bowing to the beautiful
becomes even uglier.

1:01:10
- Go on.
- The poor man applauding...

1:01:12
the rich becomes poorer...
1:01:13
the small man,
smaller for applauding the great...

1:01:16
the short man, shorter,
for applauding the tall, and so on.

1:01:19
I can't embrace values
that crush me.

1:01:23
It's a sad game to live in
other people's skin.

1:01:26
The victim crying for his oppressor
becomes a prisoner twice over.

1:01:36
What you say is very strange.
1:01:41
It's a strange world, Father...
1:01:44
which only reunites by dividing.
1:01:48
Built on accidents,

1:01:53
Merit is spurious, Father.
1:01:54
I wasn't the one
who planted that seed.

1:01:57
What are you trying to say?
1:02:01

- My son, you're terribly disturbed.
- No, father, I'm not disturbed.

1:02:12
- Who were you talking about?
- No one in particular.

1:02:18
I was only thinking
of hopeless cases...

1:02:23
of those who moan with reason...
1:02:27
of those who cry out
in thirst, passion...

1:02:32
and solitude...
1:02:38
I was thinking only of them.
1:02:48
I want to understand you, son...
1:02:52
but I don't understand anymore.
1:02:54
I'm mixing things up as I speak,
my words are rushing, but I'm lucid.

1:02:58
If there's chaff, there's plenty
of grain in what I say.
