Camila Page #4

have forgotten what Jesus...

said to his disciples.

"Since I'm sending you

like sheep amongst wolves...

be as prudent as snakes

and simple as doves".

Not being prudent as a priest

is twice as dangerous.

In any land.

I don't understand, Father.

Don't forget women can be

an instrument of the Devil.

- Father Ladislao!

- Hello, Camila.

I didn't see you.

Father, I brought this for the people

who may need more than me.

I'm sure you know.

Do you really think

this can help the poor?

Why don't you try to put

yourself in their place, Camila.

Beggars don't dress

as rich women.

You don't need to humiliate me.

I'm just trying to be better.

A single woman's a chaos, Camila.

A nature's disorder.

To submit that anarchy

there are only two ways:

The convent...

...or matrimony.

And I don't think you have

the habit calling.

Marriage is order.

Nor people nor a country

can live without order.

- I'm not in love with Ignacio.

- What's that got to do?

Love comes with the years

and not looking between flowers.

You have filled your head

with those foreign books.

Reality is not a French novel.

- Sir...

- I told you no people today!

Father Gutierrez is here, sir.

Bah, let him in.

- Good evening, sir.

- What brings you here at this time?

I came to talk to Eduardo.

Eduardo is at his cousin's.

Would you like a cup

of chocolate, Father?

No, thanks, Joaquina.

I'll leave then.

If you'll excuse me.

Here, Camila.

This was amongst the clothes

you brought to Church.

Keep it, Father.

Maybe this will be good enough

for your poor people.

They'll thank you the same way

they thanked your dresses.

Did they?

I thank you too.

Your words make me very happy.

Good evening.

- Where were we?

- Marriage is like the country.

The best jail is that one

which you don't see.

I didn't say that!

I said women should

get married, that's all!

Same thing.

Camila, I'm not over.

You never thought about a woman?

- Yes, sometimes.

- And?

What would you do

if you fell in love?

What would a priest do?

- I'd punish my body without mercy.

- What?

Your body can turn against you.

And if that didn't relieve me

I'd try to get away...

from that woman

and never see her again.

- What if that didn't work either?

- It has to work!

Camila...

Human love has its limitation.

Only God's love is endless.

- But if he regrets being a priest?

- He can't regret!

- Marriage to God is forever!

- Eduardo, you can't say that.

- Yes, I can.

- No.

- You won't understand.

- No.

Listen.

"On Northern days an insect

is born at 9 a.m...

and dies at 5 p.m."

"How can it understand

the word "night"?

How can you understand

the word "love"...
