:43:03
It had occurred to the children
to give the bell an extra ring
:43:06
every time such an act had been consummated,
much to Martha's confusion.
:43:14
But since the chain had been attached
things had become easier for everyone:
:43:20
the harassments in bed did not have to be
kept so secret anymore,
:43:24
because they couldn't really be
compared to a sexual act.
:43:27
They were embarrassing in the way it is
when a hillbilly has his way with a cow,
:43:32
but no more than that.
:43:35
Tom saw everything.
:43:37
It pained him, and the sexual visits
were a particularly severe blow.
:43:49
But he supported her as best he could,
the way a spider supports,
:43:54
when it has been tangled
in its own web by the wind.
:43:59
Tom!
:44:06
Everything I tried to do went wrong.
:44:10
I can't come up with the answe
I was looking for.
:44:13
You'll come up with it, you'll see.
You're very clever.
:44:19
- We provoked them.
- I wouldn't worry about it.
:44:29
We provoked them.
Now it is time for us to provoke ourselves.
:44:33
What do you mean?
:44:34
I mean, by showing them some trust.
:44:39
It all started with a meeting, so it will be
logical to end it with
one, too.
:44:43
You'll talk and they'll listen.
They can't refuse to listen.
:44:49
- What will I say?
- Everything. You'll say everything.
:44:53
- Everything?
- Yeah, the truth. The Truth.
:44:55
Just the truth about each and
every one of them.
:44:58
I don't think they are gonna want to hear that.
