- Cardinal: Why are you so scared? Everything is predestined. Life runs its own course. Look at this little angel! Saint Martin has sent us a little angel to play with!
- Steven: What are you doing in this filthy place? Are you looking for something?
- Agnes: I read a book in the convent library, about love and black magic. There was a passage I found fascinating.
- Steven: What was it about?
- Agnes: A magic root. Mandrake. It grows in a place like this. If a man and a woman eat of it, they will love each other forever.
- Steven: Did it also say why you have to dig in this particular spot?
- Agnes: The nuns inked out that passage very carefully.
- Steven: When a man is hanged, he comes and his semen spills to the ground. That's where your mandrake sprouts.
- Agnes: Explains why the passage was inked out.
- Martin: From now on, we'll eat like this. And whoever can't, best stay the stupid asshole he always was.
