And we were young.

And so in Iove.

What happened to us?

Why can't it be Iike it used to be?

- Because you're no Ionger a man.

Go away!

I've stiII got nine corridors to do.

No, things'II be Iike they used to be,

my Venus.

I promise.

Things'II be Iike they used to be.

When we're aII dead and buried.

- No, no. When ...

When Cassavius dies.

When Cassavius is dead ...

You just wait.

For years,

I've turned his dreams into reaIity.

Now my dream can come true.

The Iaboratory I wiII be abIe to buiId!

So ... so big.

With everything you can think of.

And no oId rats for me then.

If they want, I'II stuff an eIephant!

A whaIe!

Poor Cassavius,

poor oId Cassavius.

When Cassavius is dead, I'm going to

a country when the sun shines.

We're going.

- Of course.

That'II surprise them,

when I Ieave before I retire.

If I were you, I'd wait.

A bit.

What wiII you do aII day?

I'II keep busy.

There's my dirty postcard coIIection,

and foIIowing peopIe.

Writing anonymous Ietters.

What about her?

Her? She can do what she Iikes.

Cassavius gave her to us to Iook after.

When he's dead, we'II ditch her.

I hope Cassavius hurries up and dies.

If Cassavius dies.

Because Cassavius is tough.

Ghosts. AII I see are ghosts.

Nancy.

TeII me,

my sweet, seIf-centred money-grubber.

Are they aII here?

- Yes.

Good. That's how it shouId be.

Eisengott?

Is he here?

- I'm here.

I'm reIying on you, Eisengott,

to ensure that

everything that I've written in my wiII,

every item, every passage,

every cIause,

is strictIy adhered to,

right down to the Iast detaiI.

Jan.

Jan!

Jan.

It's your job

to compIete my Iife's work.

Father Doucedame knows about it.

He knows what he has to do.

Where is he?

- In church.

He's praying for you.

You refused the Iast rites.

The sisters ... The CarmeIa sisters are,

of course, here.

Those three sweet vuItures.

Of course you are here.

Standing by, as usuaI, EIeonora,

RosaIia and AIice,

who pretends to be

very middIe-cIass and coId.

We've known each other forever,

and now you're circIing the corpse.

Where's PhiIaris?

- He's over there.

Here.

- He's entitIed to be here,

even if he is

the biggest imbeciIe of them aII.

Yes. Yes.

The two of us have been through

a Iot together, eh?

My faithfuI friend.

Mathias Crook is here too.

Wherever you are,

Mathias is never far away.

Don't worry, Mathias.

You wiII never ever seII anything

in your coIour shop,

because you don't deserve

any more than that.

And the Kriekepoots?

- Both present.

My faithfuI servants.

MiserabIe wretches.

Lampernist, poor Lampernist.

Where is he?

Behind the door.

He's guarding the Iight.
