Transcript
In the kitchen, a young man asks, “Uh... down where exactly?” Someone tells him, “Into the cistern. Climb down and tell us what you can see.” The young man replies, “No.” The older bespectacled man says, “Seems that the Cardinal has nominated someone else, Erasmus.” He then says, “Fine! We will all go down.” At the open cistern, the young man says, “Ladder's sound. I checked it this morning.” The dark-haired woman asks, “You checked the ladder but not why the drain was full of consecrated water?” The young man replies, “I didn't know it was consecrated.”
