- Anything else you desire?

- I am still ton young...

...to be without desire.

- I have a desire, ton.

I collect autographs.

"The Foundations of Human Physiology."

- Dld you wrlte this?

- Even if I did...

...I couldn't slgn it for you.

I have no mnney for ink.

Soon I'll have to write in blood.

No need. I have ink.

Your knowledge is impressive.

Here you are.

This work will outlive you.

The word dies...

...before it leaves the pen.

- Over here, yes...

...but there is also the world beyond.

I'm so tlred. Ma n's wretched ways

exhaust me.

And my heart aches.

- Now, glve me the money!

- No.

- What would you accept In pawn?

- Anything.

- Even rubbish?

- It depends.

An old tract

about the meaning of life?

- No, no.

- A perpetuum mobile?

Spare mel

The relics of Saint Sebastian?

The relics? Tha!'s a good one.

- Where would you find those?

- Seek and you shall find.

Did this Sebastian ever exist?

Maybe.

- Maybe not.

- What are you saying?

I'm saying,

there won't be any money.

- Do you see this hole?

- Nu.

I wanted to pluck a rose blossom...

...for a maiden.

- You should mend ii.

Mend It! Where does one

find the right cloth?

And time? And money?

No money! No time!

Spent it all!

That's how it is then.

He shall eat dust,

and eat eagerly.

I will see what I can do

for you. Doctor.

Never mind.

Ferdinand! My registry!

Ferdinandul

It's not under my pillow!

I have hidden ii somewhere else.

I'm thirsty! Pour me some wine!

Certainly, madam.

Law, medicine, philosophy...

...and sadly even theology...

...I've studied with passionate

resolution.

And stand here now...

...a fool for sure,

no wiser than I was before.

Excuse me.

Everything fleeting

is only a stench!

- Calm down!

- We can't get through with the coffin!

Everyone over here!

I'm here! I'm with you!

Patience, patience! Don't move!

Let the pigs through!

There we go. Come on.

Ida. I need hot water.

What's this I need?!

I have to cook now.

In the beginning was the Word...

...the Word...

In the beginning was the Word...

...the Word...

You again! Come in!

In the beginning was the Word...

And the Word was with God.

Do you understand how this is meant?

- No.

- Neither do I.

"In the beginning was the Word..."

Already I'm stuck.

Impossible for me tn rate the word...

...so highly.

- You must translate ii some other way.

Maybe "the thought"?

In the beginning was...

In the beginning

was the thought that acts...

...and creates everything.

- In the beginning was the I.

- Whose "I"?

- Mine.

- You were In the beginning?

- Why not?

- Then we're all doomed.

- I don't believe so.

- Ida!

- That was on purpose!

There you have your water!
