I wanted to do a vast study
1:03:04
of religious practises
in small villages.

1:03:08
I thought of Mont-Mathieu.
1:03:12
- An interesting subject, I admit.
1:03:15
But,
1:03:20
we already have two priests here.
1:03:25
Plus Gervaise.
1:03:29
What do you say, Henri?
1:03:33
- Our devout parishioners
1:03:35
would make perfect subjects
for our friend.

1:03:42
- Well...
1:03:44
Goodness.
1:03:46
Welcome to Mont-Mathieu.
1:03:53
- I soon got to know
my new family.

1:03:57
Father Boudreault and Abbé Pivot,
1:04:00
two men who were
1:04:02
quite different.
1:04:06
- The Bouchards missed Mass again.
1:04:09
- Go easy on them,
you know how hard they work.

1:04:12
They scarcely sleep.
1:04:14
- I won't let the wicked
contaminate my parish.

1:04:18
- Wicked, that's a bit harsh.
1:04:21
- No, you're too lenient on your flock,
as I've said before.

1:04:26
- Their sense of religion
is different from yours.

1:04:30
- That's the problem. You, André,
1:04:33
what's your view?
1:04:35
- I don't know.
1:04:37
But given your haste
to damn your flock,

1:04:41
Hell will soon be full.
1:04:43
- Sure, gang up on me two to one.
1:04:48
- We shared a very pleasant life.
1:04:54
The months went by,
1:04:56
with nothing to disturb
our daily routine...
