Location Production Footage: The Last Temptation of Christ Page #2

---

only you can't admit it.

You're pitiful.

I hate you.

Here's my body.

Save it.

Save it.

Oh! Is that the way

you show you're a man?

Turn away.

Don't look at me.

You never had the courage

to be a man. Don't look at me.

If you weren't hanging onto your mother,

you were hanging onto me.

Now you're hanging onto God.

Going to the desert to hide

because you're scared.

Well, go. Whenever

I see you, my heart breaks.

I do remember

when we were children.

Never have I felt so much

tenderness toward anyone...

as I felt toward you then.

All I ever wanted was you.

Nothing else.

What do you think I wanted?

Please... stay.

Is it so bad sharing

a prostitute's room?

I won't touch you.

You'll still be a virgin.

Mary, I'm sorry.

I can't stay.

Welcome. This way.

Do you always pray

this late at night?

It's a funeral.

The master of the monastery died.

Shall I pray with you?

No. Sleep.

You must be tired.

I know who you are.

[ Chanting In Distance ]

That was the man who

brought me here last night.

Last night?

He was dead last night.

[ Chanting Continues ]

The master's soul

is gone to heaven.

His body's work is completed.

It walked under the sun

and the moon...

over sand and stone...

sinned, felt pain...

yearned for heaven.

We commend his remains

to our god.

Flesh, the master

no longer needs you.

Melt away.

First came the wings,

then the angel.

His spirit actually

appeared to you.

He treated you

like a royal visitor.

He recognized you

for something.

No, he couldn't have

recognized me for anything.

I only came here

to serve God. That's all.

That's all God wants from me.

I'm sure of it.

But think of how you're blessed.

God actually makes himself

known to you.

I don't know

what God wants from me.

All my life I've wanted

to hear God's voice.

I've dedicated my life to Him.

Sometimes...

I think I feel Him,

but I'm never really sure.

But you always know.

God took you by the hand

and brought you here.

[ Laughs ]

You think it's a blessing

to know what God wants?

I'll tell you what He wants.

He wants to push me over!

Can't He see

what's inside of me?

All my sins?

- We all sin.

- Not my sins.

I'm a liar, a hypocrite.

I'm afraid of everything.

I don't ever tell the truth.

I don't have the courage.

When I see a woman,

I blush and look away.

I want her, but I don't

take her... for God.

And that makes me proud.

And then my pride ruins Magdalene.

I don't steal, I don't fight

and I don't kill.

Not because I don't want to,

but because I'm afraid.

I want to rebel against you,

against everything, again--

against God, but... I'm afraid.

You want to know

who my mother and father are?
