Maybe put a pillow...

She won't fall.

Even if she does, it's soft.

I'll put this back. Let's put it away.

I'll light it some other time.

Then let's kneel down.

You mean I should...?

To pray for your mother.

Don't you ever do that?

Sure I...

- For the dead. It's important.

On All Souls' Day

I go to the cemetery.

It's very important.

Now let's kneel down.

Mr. Rupnik, kneel down.

- Now, just like that?

Of course. Kneel down.

- Do we have enough room?

I have a few books here.

- Then let's move them.

Wait, I'll do it.

- I can put them over here.

I don't want to trouble you.

Don't strain yourself.

- We'll have to clean up here.

You can't throw out my nice suits!

I need them to get dressed up

when I go to fancy parties.

Let's pray. Kneel down now.

- You want me to kneel down?

It's been ages since I last kneeled.

Then easy does it.

- My knees hurt when I kneel down.

You can do it.

- It's unhealthy.

It's never unhealthy to do this.

Yes, but I'm not used to it.

- Just make an effort.

I've never done this before.

- Turn your shoulder to the right.

Just turn it to the right.

- Damn, it's hard!

That hurts!

- You're kneeling crooked.

What?

- Turn your bottom toward the bed more.

So you can kneel straight.

- But I have to prop myself up.

Or I'll fall over.

- I'm propping myself up too.

But if you kneel crooked, it hurts.

- Ouch, that hurts. Damn. That's enough!

I can't do this anymore!

Damn, that hurts!

That hurts.

I'll stand up and just bow instead.

That's better.

We weren't made to kneel.

Quiet! A little reverence now.

Try to think of a few words.

- How can you kneel like that?

A miracle. A miracle.

- It's okay if it hurts a little.

You can kneel for hours.

The only explanation

is that women are known

to have a layer of fat there.

It's because nature

made female hormones that way.

Women can run around in winter

in thin stockings

with skirts up to here,

and they're not cold.

Men can't take that.

It's because women

have a nice layer of padding all over.

Especially on their behind,

as you can see on nudist beaches.

It really bulges out.

It's fleshly temptation.

That's what it is. Fleshly temptation.

Please, Mr. Rupnik.

- It's fat.

A layer of fat that women have

because of their female hormones.

This isn't the right subject to discuss

in front of the Mother of God.

Yes, quite right.

All right then.

Let's say the Lord's Prayer

for your late mother.

Yes... well...

Say it with me:
In the name of...

I usually say it in my own words.

- Not the Lord's Prayer.

Either you say your own words

or the Lord's Prayer.

In the name of the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit. Amen, right?
