00:15It feels like we're banishing her.
00:17They leave their childhood here.

00:25You are a sinful girl.
00:27You will kneel here until these candles burn out.
00:33Oh, sorry.
00:34Okay, sorry. It's fine.
00:37I feel something's happening.
00:39Well, that would be probable.
00:43You're useless.
00:45You're a completely useless man. You know that.
00:47I do.
