Original subtitles

In the 18th century philosopher Diderot and his friends wrote the first encyclopedia in the entire history of mankind

It met with recognition from the public, despite criticism from authorities and Church and became a precursor to the French Revolution of 1789

Shortly after, censorship suppressed the book,

but it was impossible to annihilate it

We wouldn't be free, if the word "freedom" hadn't been invented!

Sentimental words are often whispered to me,

Endearments are given to me very often,

I like dear words very much

And I like endearments too,

But what is better: endearments or words?

I'd prefer words!

Because endearments are

hiding behind the words

I choose words

because I don't want only endearments

I choose words

because I don't want only endearments

How dare you! - King's police

The encyclopedia, which you're publishing with Diderot, is banned!

I already know that

So, how can you explain that it is still being passed around?

The printery has been closed, the pressrun was withdrawn, but the book is still secretly speading, even abroad!

Isn't is strange?

It is. But you can't stop progress

THE LIBERTINE

Here is a clandestine printery!

Search through the castle!

Where is Diderot?

Where is Diderot?

Where is Diderot?

I don't know captain. I was praying

Sorry, madame

Keep looking!

We shall find him

Monsieur Diderot...

It's unreasonable...

Wonderful

I know nothing better

You tell the same to everyone

But... Didn't your cousin like me, did she not?

Stop spreading such gossip!

I'm not spreading. We are alone

Nevertheless, did your cousin like me?

Do you want me to say "yes"? - Yes

Well... Yes

To please you

Cloe, darling...

Monsieur Diderot, do you know my cousin?

By hearsay

My lovely husband - Where have you been my darling?

Monsieur Diderot tried to introduce some philosophy into my poor head

Your head was fine today

And?

And... He is very talented

Clandestine printery in a mansion!

Did we really scare them so much?

Friends, let's go have a dinner

They left

Paul, give us something to drink

They cannot do anything to us, until they find the printery

We will rest in prison

Sometimes it feels like I'm already in prison

Light will spread from this cellar, Abraham

Intellect from this cellar will beat superstition

Nothing, madame. A wild piglet was unlucky

It was too slow

It is still breathing

It is suffering

Madame Therbouche!

Excuse me for my morning dress

We were expecting you yesterday - I was unwell

Nothing serious, I hope - Nothing

You charmed everyone here. De Lambert, madame Lepinas...

Attention please, try this

What is this? - Chocolate

Choco-what?

Do you want to poison me with this black dirt?

It's wonderful, believe me

Even though it looks like shit,

it tastes completely different

Is it a remedy?

Too exotic for you. Chocolate has no future in France, obviously

But my doctor recommended me chocolate in tablets and bars, as much as I want

It awakens sensuality

Lokum. From Turkey - No, thank you

Enough. Hurry up

We're going to swim

To swim? What for?

Do you want him to be a sailor?

I want him to be a Man

I always thought that to be a man, one needs a penis rather than fins

Do you hear pig squeak?

That's we, probably

I can distinguish human's voice from pig's

You are lucky

Madame Therbouche is right

That is my new invention

Friends, this is Madame Therbouche

A very talented artist from Prussia

De Lambert recommended her to paint Diderot's portrait

Take courage Diderot can't sit still

I'd advise you stun him before each sitting

Do speak bad about me? - Not yet. You came too early

I guess, you are my model

Yes, but don't model my ways

It is risky? - You can risk

Do you remember me? I'm your wife

F-sharp is missing!

Let me introduce a new musical instrument

pig organ

A pig's squeal depends on its size and weight,

so we can get a note.

Are you sure it's F-sharp?

Only on an empty stomach, monsieur

Let me play "Moonlight"

on pig organ

When can we start?

In one hour, in the gallery

Eat, this is from Turkey

I do like F-sharp

What is there?

Earthquake or another invention of your daddy?

That's the Encyclopedia, mother

The steps of the progress

Why is the progress always walking so loudly?

Monsieur Diderot, I so wanted to paint your portrait

Seat there

Look at me

I like philosophy

You'd better like philosophers

Nonsense: Socrates wasn't handsome

And as I was told, he had a defect

He liked men

He was lost for women

And women are losing me

I don't have ancient character

I like to take clothes off instead of put them on

Don't change your face expression

I can't catch it

I should tell you something

Yes?

Something is wrong. You are here, I'm there

We're going the wrong way

It is not what I wanted - What did you want?

I don't like this pose - No problems

We should go much further - Much further?

Then go, I will follow you

I'd like to respect the nature

and find innocence

Let's listen to nature

I'd like to do with you something

that I've never done with Monsieur Voltaire

Voltaire hasn't been able to do that for a while

I'd like to paint you... nude

What?

Nude, as any other artist's model

to let the world see you like the nature created you

Philosophy and science create philosophers

It will be a unique picture So sincere: a philosopher that is real

Well, I don't know...

My books are quite straightforward

Please monsieur Diderot :

nude philosophy

What if something happens to me? - For example?

To be like that in front of you... - And?

You are quite pretty

I was mistaken

I read your books, I admired you

I thought that you are the only man in Europe who can step over the conventionalities

who can be unsophisticated. Like Adam before the Fall

I was silly

Wait!

So, I'm undressing and sitting down, right?

Yes, right

I adore you, Monsieur Diderot

Such a steadfast soul!

To notice that you needed me to take my pants off

You are beautiful

I know... my soul is

No, your body - Hush up

Talk to me like to a stil life

Why do you not look at me? Look at me

After Adam's fall, not all parts of the body are under our control

I don't know theology, and want you to look at me

For the sake of philosophy

Ohh, Monsieur Diderot

Growing expression of my steadfast soul

Don't be afraid, I'm not that steadfast like him

Let's come to an agreement:

I'll put you on my canvas

- Only if I put you in my bed - After

A carriage!

Oh, God! My brother

I don't believe my eyes. My brother is here! - The one who's wearing soutane?

Yes, that's him

Stop working - Stop, everybody stop

What a nice surprise, brother

Brother, you're like a father to me

My dear, it seems like you dont observe the fast, as usual

I like everything that God created

I'm going from Paris to Avignon

I'd like to spend a few days here

Abbot, the chest

Wonderful

A very nice idea

We can't think of anything better

Go F-sharp

A catastrophe! Cardinal came

We had to stop printing to not make noise

And now Baronne can't finish his article about morals

Continue printing

But the noise...

You will override it by playing organ

I play harpsichord only

Play organ somehow. And I'll finish the article

I thought that the encyclopedia is banned

and arrested

Do you really stand for freedom?

I don't know if I believe in freedom

Maybe we are only controlled by nature

See, I was posing, now I'm writing, but...

I'm a man, you're a woman

and I'm nude

Our mechanisms want to join

Open! It's me!

My wife

Only one person can say "It's me" so earnestly -

my wife!

You are not alone, of course - Alone

In such dress - Why not?

I'm not expecting anyone

Tell me the truth

Doubts are much more delightful than the truth

There is no woman in France that is deceived more than me

It's over. I'm taking our daughter

And we are going to Paris

Toinette, wait! Why now?

It has lasted for years

What?

I have been philandering for 20 years,

and today I decided to become reasonable

Do you despise me so much?

No! Don't I love you anymore? Tell me!

It's disgusting! When we are together, you're thinking of other women

Never!

Really? - Never!

I would think of them, if I didn't have them

But I come to you after them...

Promise me to put an end to it

No, it would be unnatural

Continence, like a diet,

brings health

Never!

I've crossed fidelity off the list of virtues

Do you hear this strange noise?

Which noise?

Yes, it's cold. Going back?

Don't you hear? - No, I don't

A strange noise - Do you hear something?

Very strange. Let's go

You were right

Somebody is playing music

I told you!

He has good hearing

So good, so I hear voices that you don't hear

God's voice, for example

How about free spirit?

I feel queasy! - She feels queasy!

Take the pig, please

I need fresh air!

Abbot, take the pig. And don't forget my umbrella

I feel better

I hope you don't communicate with those horrible philosophers and materialists

De Lambert, Helvetius, Diderot...

We severed all relationships with them long time ago

Diderot is a Devil's servant

We already have banned his encyclopedia

I would not recognize Diderot if I met him

Darling, a man can't retain all those body fluids

Otherwise they will get into the head, and he will become stupid

How about monks?

I think they have fun with each other

Why deny such a nice and necessary thing?

Go away with your pig, leave me alone

It is like bloodletting, but much more enjoyable - Ohh, no!

The nature doesn't like useless things

We shouldn't conflict with nature, we should follow it

Brother... - Give him smelling salts

Sister...

We are married, did you forget?

Marriage is flagrant violation of laws of nature

Lusts tear me apart

I'm the centre of the force that created me and overfills me

What did you give him?

Your invention that we use in bed

Sister... stay with me

Nice words said by a swine!

I am who I am. Nothing else

Nothing can be against nature or beyond nature

Philosophers don't look like this. You don't have any morals!

I have morals. But for me, morals mean for art to be happy

An idea! This is what I'll write

"Everybody is looking for happiness. And there is the only dream - to be happy,

The only duty - to be happy

With one woman, With thousands women...!

Enough, enough

Do not overdo it

God created me like this

God is not responsible for all the horrors that he sees on the Earth. I'm leaving

To Avignon?

To my room! Abbot, come here!

Don't catch a cold

Abbot! Umbrella, pig. Come!

Cardinal could baptize you like this

I'm sure it's him who sent police here last evening

They left with nothing, so he came today to nose about everything

While he hasn't found the printery, he can't accuse us of anything

He's dreaming to see us in jail

What can we do?

Arrange a hunt - Do you think so?

It will keep men busy, bring food for women,

and if we are lucky enough, we'll get rid of a little problem

This pig is ill-mannered

a copy of baroness

Open the door! What are you waiting for?

Madame Therbouche

What are you doing here? - Questioning myself

Don't do it here

The Church won't help you with the answer

Are you in troubles? - Yes

With your wife? - Yes

She wants to leave to Paris with my daughter

And what? - Nothing

Monsieur Diderot, show me your secret

I think you already know all of me

A secret becomes more important when it is shared

She's a friend

This is the printery

Here are two presses

She's a friend

I never trust women - Pity

Women always bring bad things

All, except your mother

Is this young boy indifferent to women too?

No, unfortunately for me, he has very broad preferences

Thanks to Madame Diderot for this article:

Morales are for art to be happy

I don't want hunting,

I want to pray in the chapel

He doesn't want hunting,

he wants to go to the chapel - Damn!

He will discover us

Holy Father, I need to confess

You??? - Yes, here

Here? Now? - Yes, now

Can't you wait? - Not a second!

Bless me Father, for I have sinned

Are you going to hunt? - I'm pursuing another game

Madame Therbouche

Where is Cardinal?

Don't worry. He is in baroness' hands

What about "Morales" article? - Finished. I'll reread it and that's it

Are you allright? - Yes, yes

Is your cousin here? - No...

"Our Father" two times, "Hail Mary" three times. And God will forgive you

Father, wait. This is not all

I'm listening - At night, when my husband falls asleep, I'm up

Pardon? - I'm up

I know that he is here

Who? - He is waiting for me

I can't help, and I'm not ashamed

Last night again...

Again... - Again...

What's happened?

Tell me, my child

- Ham. 12 pounds

All 12 pounds? - Yes

Yes, only bones were left

"Our Father" three times, "Hail Mary" fifteen times. And God will forgive you

Wait...

What else?

Then I bury bones. I pay servants for their silence

I'm sinful. I'm so sinful...

Repeat: Mea culpa, mea culpa,

mea maxima culpa.

Vade in pace, my daughter

Monsieur Diderot! - I don't have time

I need to tell you something - Yes

About a girl that found a wonderful man

Courageous, with beautiful soul and body

And?

I'd like to tell him :

Monsieur, I don't respect anyone as much as you

I don't love you, and never will

Don't worry about it. I just want your baby

Please, give me a particle of life

We probably can investigate this matter - Make haste!

We will talk - Discuss details

Consider difficulties - And write everything on paper

What for?

My friend needs it

She needs evidence that her womb belongs to her

and everything that is conceived in there

I'd advise that girl to listen to her heart because...

because nature is always right

Here. Are you satisfied?

Angelique!

Papa

Angelique, what are you doing here?

I couldnt dare to ask you myself

I love Jerfeuil

But he is only 10 years old

His father - Chevalier?

He is older than me!

I like your conversation. Lots to learn from

Get out!

I don't want you to sleep with that disgusting Jerfeuil

who likes only his horses and swimming

Who can't read philosophic books withiout yawning

I don't want to dandle little Jerfeuil

But I want to!

You said: nature is always right!

Why can't you wait till you love a coeval and marry him after?

Because you are against marriage

But... I... I...

Marriage is necessary for humans

I'm not persuaded

Angelique, you don't listen to me!

I always persuade everyone. Where are you going?

To Jerfeuil. I'll think there

What's happened, Monsieur Diderot

I've made a mistake

The Encyclopedia should help fathers

Three chicken, two piglets, and icecream, not very fresh

but I still ate it

"Our Father", "Hail Mary" And God will forgive you

Wait, Father! It is not all

Something else? - The worst thing

Do you remember that accident on our wedding?

Prosphora? - Yes

500 prosphora

disappeared

I almost died of shame

Wedding without prosphora! It's terrible

That was me... at night

I had a melancholy seizure. One moment and...

500 prosphora. It's terrible

Only when I finish - Show me

Artists don't show their unfinished paintings

Go, undress quickly!

My portrait, my portrait...

Do you want the portrait or the model?

If a storm comes into this gallery, what will you rescue?

Me or the picture?

The wind

You will be my second philosopher

I painted Voltaire

Just a portrait?

No. I did more

And?

That is a snowy lover

He thaws in hands

I don't indulge in illusions about myself, I won't leave any marks in history

Why? - Because I feel better in bed than at a table

Have you finished your article? - Yes

And I added some things to it after conversation with my daughter

I defined more exactly that the only duty of man is to procreate

To follow nature's law, and, therefore, the law of human society

Strange, isn't it?

You vindicate personal pleasure in front of your wife,

and refuse the pleasure in sake of the common good in front of your daughter

Is it a contradiction? - Looks like that

Isn't morality contradictory?

Then there are two moralities, instead of one

Morality of an individual and morality of society

One is anarchic, another is conservative

And they have nothing in common - That's annoying

What's happened monsieur? - I need to improve something

You don't have much time to achieve a success

Perfection and me have been separated long time ago

Go, play organ!

And that wine...

That is not a sin. God drank wine too

Not that much to not get to his bedroom

Father, last night I spread your brother's body with honey

and licked it all the night

Leave me alone, I don't want to listen to you anymore

It's a torture. I don't deserve it

Then I went to sleep when exhausted

And I saw you in my dream

You were made of sugar, and I licked you all over

Do you want to know where I started?

Leave me, I'm going to pray in the chapel!

Father! - Leave me alone!!

I need to pray after all these horrors

Too late. It's dinner time

Let's go to eat

Papa, I'm cold - Don't be like a girl

Listen to daddy my darling, then you'll be like him

Have a nice meal - Thank you

Excuse me, pardon...

Of course, Monsieur Diderot, you came after the prayer on purpose

Of course I did

What is this muck? - It's caviar, mum

Cavi-what? - Caviar. Fish eggs

Fish? Looks like birds dung

The food bores me

Who is this Therbouche?

Madame Therbouche is an artist from Berlin, she decided to move to Paris

I'm a patron of art, I like to help talents

You help vagabonds

Oh, my brother.... - Pardon... Therbouche?

Look at my daughter. She fell in love with Chevalier de Jerfeuil

Does it bother you?

She wants his baby

I don't think there is anything to worry about

Jerfeuil is lost for women - He??

But he is married

He is not the first, nor the last like that

Moreover, his wife is not satisfied. She is looking for anyone to grasp by the cock

Even if a victim doesn't have one

How do you know?

I observe

Look at Jerfeuil: he is always agreeing with marquis

Always looking at his collar, as he is guessing the shape of his body

And he doesn't show his teeth when he is laughing,

as a man who hides his vices

How to recognize a woman who hides her virtues?

Which vertues?

Compassion on a wounded animal, for example

Trust me, your Jerfeuil is like marquis

The only difference is that

he will never admit it

I'd like to offer you pineapple for desert

Pine-what?

So, to save my daughter from Jerfeuil,

You just need to expose him

Let us to laugh with you, Monsieur Diderot

Well, Madame Therbouche and I are talking about sodomy

I don't want to talk about it, especially during the meal

There is a punishment of eternal fire for this sin

At least it is not so silly as solo pleasure

If we are talking about sensuality, I think it is better to have it with someone else than alone

God ordered us to share

If you share a sin, you'll get two sinners instead of one

Sinner!

How terribly you name generosity

When one man joins with another man,

it is only altruistic masturbation

Monsieur Diderot grants honours to masturbation!

These are morals of your Encyclopedia

Did you read it Monsieur Cardinal?

Encyclopedia grants honour to pleasure

Do you think that God cares about your pleasure?

God ! hates ! pleasure!

Why he created it then?

It is a trap!

A trap to induce men and women to procreate

I think that a man has no vices or perversions,

he just spoils his health and is guilty only when he hurts his body

I, I, I! Stop putting your "I" in the beginning, middle and end of all your phrases

I'm speaking for myself according my conscience

And, at least, unlike you,

I don't give my words out to be God's orders

You are a libertine!

I accept your compliment

If this word means an ability to differ sex and love, coition and union

To be a libertine means to feel nuance and to be exact

By the way, Monsieur de Jerfeuil, did you see marquis' collection of swords?

How?? Do you collect swords? It's hard to believe

I collect them too!

One of them is especially wonderful

In the dark red sheath, the blade is thin and sharp

Marquis has the best collection in Ile-de-France

Will you show me? - What?

Your swords - Whenever you like

So delightful... Please serve

Strange, but it's very tasty

What is it?

Meat

This is F-sharp

F-what? - F-sharp

My darling...

Strange, but it tastes like pork

I'll read it and come back

Continue, Abraham

I don't know what else to play. I have only indecent songs left

You can play them, just do it solemnly

Move your legs quicker

Hurry up my cousin

Come to me

Hurry up my cousin

Usually

Marquis licks me

But when he is absent

But when he goes somewhere

Cousin licks me instead of him

Cousin licks me

instead of him

What is this?

My secret garden

My fabulous mushrooms

What's going on in the chapel?

I thought it's neglected

Chapel of your forefathers is neglected?!

Never!

What is being played? - Gloria

Father - What else?

I'm unhappy - Why, my daughter?

Your brother harmed me because of F-sharp - Piglet?

I didn't realise that he will react that way when he found out

What?

Baronne created a nice little choir

And what did you do?

I slaughtered all the orchestra

And made sausages

A sausage symphony

I couldn't resist - Of course

Those little tails and pink legs were so attractive

And I made sausages of them. I'm a monster

How can I believe in God, if people like me exist

Yes, it's a difficult question

In case of a conflict between an individual and society,

society should win, and the individual should sacrifice themself

Is it your conclusion?

Yes. Mankind is always mankind

Life should continue

So, you reject abortion? - Pardon?

You blame a woman which frees herself from a child,

which has no time, no bravery and no money

to rear an accidentally made child,

which hates the man and the circumstances that put the child in her body,

when her belly only keeps bad memories

You are like the priests who you dislike

And treat a woman like a womb for a man and mankid

I don't know any woman who was happy after abortion

Of course! And?

But I don't blame her. I feel sorry for her, because she didn't have

any space for love and a new life in her life

You speak beautiful words, you should write it down

Did it hurt you?

Write about it

Certainly you should write

Noooo... - Yes!

I always liked swords

I don't know why

Maybe, because of their shape? - Because of strength?

Or because of their place...

Sword is along the leg when it's not used,

and it is directed up and forward in attack

I don't know...

Do you really want to see our swords?

And to touch them?

I'm burning with the desire

Then let's go to our cosy nook - Pardon?

There is a place in the park for our swords

Here is our collection

The key

Open the door, my friend

But I don't see any swords

Where are the swords?

What is going on?

Father, all these women want to confess

My cousin is the first

Father, everyone wants to confess only to you

Why? Do you have something special?

Probably. Come in my daughter

My cousin alone will take the whole hour

Ladies, let's go to bath-house

Nobody can resist nice light steam

I was afraid to forget something,

so I brought my notebook

There is a list of my sins

All classified: deadly sins

minor sins

To not forget anything

My mother always told me: a good Christian

keeps everything in order

Very good

My cousin played a joke on me, and I did the same for her

But it is nice, jokes are not a sin

I started to pet myself

and then...

It's impossible!

I was lying with baronne...

My child, do you believe in God?

I love God, I adore God!

Do you do your religious duty?

I'm... I'm very religious

Then I don't understand anything

You believe in God - Yes

But you behave like a lascivious cat in spring

Oh, no-no

It is not like that

My head thinks one thing,

but my body acts completely different

But, but... Poor you, you don't understand what the sin is

The word "sin"! Sin!

Your body conflicts with your soul

Sin is when your soul can't resist desires of the body,

sin is when your body is against your mind

And...

Please, don't repeat

the word "sin" all the time

It excites me!

The next one!

The next! - Already? No!

I beg you! Only you can save me

Go - Monsieur!

Calm down, beauty - Please,

please listen to me!

The next!

I want to go to the Heaven

Don't worry about it

My bed for massage

Luison and Josefine Both were baptized by Cardinal

And my little hot room

It's horrible! - Not at all, it helps to lose weight

This is Mohamed

Baronne bought slaves in Istanbul to give them freedom

After that Mohamed wanted to stay with us

He massages me every day

His skin is very soft. He is castrated

He is also mute. His tongue was cut off when he was a slave

And tongue too?! Poor boy, he must be very sad

He can't have sex - Quite the contrary!

Castrates are the best lovers in the East

They have no testicles, but their penis is fine

They can have sex for hours, they just don't have any orgasms

and don't cause any side effects

Mohamed, do you still have F-sharp oil for Madame Diderot?

Long, tender, sterile...

Not like our men

Probably, castration was invented for our pleasure. Come in

Mohamed, massage Madame Diderot

And his hands...Hands... Wonderful hands!

You both are virgins

How did you know?

When you went into the water, there were no air bubbles between your legs - And?

A woman who lost virginity always lets a few bubbles out

Madame Therbouche, if only you knew how I'm tired of being a virgin

And me!

I can foretell your future through lines on your hands

How strange. I've never seen anything like this before

What do you see?

You both will lose your virginity with

- Whom? - Chevalier?

with a circumcised man

- Circumcised? - Circumcised?

My milk bath

Why are you laughing like hyenas?

The hands...

Oh, these hands...

Swine! Swine!

Darling, this is just massage

No, I wouldn't name it massage. That was something different

Mo-mo, what did I tell you?

Not with guests!

With me - yes, and whenewer you want

But not with guests!

You are mine - I have a rendezvous

Who with? - With you, of course

You promised me

Three days ago I got rid of a child that I carried inside

Leave me alone

I hate compassion even more than lust

Man's care is worth no more than his caress

It's just another way of trying to have me. Nothing else

"Our Father" three times, "Hail Mary" two times, and God will forgive you

Next!

Three "Our Father", two "Hail Mary", and God will forgive you

Next!

Kneel, my daughter!

Three "Our Father", two "Hail Mary", and God will forgive you

Next! Next!

Hurry up

Three "Our Father", two "Hail Mary"...

Nobody? Anybody else?

Next!

Kneel, my daughter

Three "Our Father", two "Hail Mary", and God will forgive you

Get out of there!

Get out, miserable...

Go and confess, immediately!

But I dont want

Don't worry. Everything will be fine

It is like vomit after bad food

And then you can eat anything you want again - It's disgusting!

I'm going to pray - It's impossible, Father

There is a poor girl that wants to save her soul

She can't wait

Do you want my cousin to die from the burden of sin?

Of course not

Priest!

I need a priest!

We have everything that you need

Go away, go away!

Monsieur, I need to confess

I'm dying, my sin strangles me

Don't worry my child, I'm here to help you

Let us in! It's urgent!

What "three"?! Three, three, three men!

Three men together!

And I shared bread with them!

Yes, but it was so nice, Father. Very nice

Shut up!

You and your wife... You are beasts!

My wife?

Yes, your wife! A bitch that wants

everyone whom she sees!

We both are bogged down in sin! What a couple!

My wife? - Go away!

I don't confess you! You will all burn in hell!

You, your wife and your abominable cousin!

My cousin? - My friend!

What I have just learned!

Wait! Our child... He has a fever!

He is all shivering! He is dying! Monsieur...

This is the beginning of punishment! Visitation of God!

He is paying for your sins! He will die

Kneel! Everybody

Open your mouth, show your tongue

What a scoundrel, he's eaten all my chocolate

Then it's easy, he has liver pain

It's impossible to have liver pain after only 4 kilos of chocolate

It is high quality food

Baronne, bring volume VII of the Encyclopedia, there is an article about liver

Open your mouth

Resign yourself, Monsieur Diderot

If there is God's will, he will recover

If not, then he will die

Your religion made you lazy, Cardinal

You can take care of his soul, and I'll concern about his body

Liver is an internal organ of the human body,

joined with four other organs...

People treat you like a market-woman, but for me you're the only noble woman here

Last night I read your thesises about gravitation

You surpassed Newton

You are the only woman who is master in

Greek, Latin, Hebrew and ancient Chinese

I adore you... - Oh, thank you... Thank you

Toinette, what is the matter?

You are an idiot!

You still haven't found the printery!

Don't you have any ideas, suspicions?

No - I'll fire you out

Then pay me. You already owe my a lot

No! You have a mission. I pay for espionage, not for games

I spent a lot. Pay half at least

No. Let me through

I'll force you to speak and find the truth

My God, this world is so horrible

God, why are you doing it to me?

I'm just a common man

God, please, give me a sign

Break is ower. Go back to work

Thank you, God!

Thank you!!

My friend, my friend...

Don't do it here!

Hurry up...

Abbot, my chest, my chest

Hurry, quicker!

Abbot, didn't you forget my umbrella?

Are you leaving us already?

Enough is as good as a feast

You can't just leave our souls in sin

A long time ago, when I just became a priest, I confessed a whole brothel

Young whores and old whores

I have more respect for them than for you!

They worked a lot. Their behavour was sinful, but their souls were fair

Those respected whores had fear of God

And you don't give a damn about anything, you only want to enjoy yourself and have fun

You pervert even the Sin!

Even the devil would despair if he met you

I don't want to waste my time with you

But Father, we're having African dinner today

Why has he left so suddenly?

We got rid of him and it is wonderful!

F-sharp...

So, you are a spy

By the way, can you paint?

Only sketches

Portraits help me to get in everywhere

I finish my pictures very seldom

People are so self-complacent,

and possibility to pose for history takes their caution away

I steal their secrets and leave a sketch of the picture

Why are you still not exposed?

Nobody wants to tell that he was a fool

Why do you work for those people? - They pay me

Paid, at least

I don't understand. You are so beautiful and smart...

This world is horrible

I learnt how to survive

Do you think there is big difference between you and Cardinal?

You are the same!

You want power! You want your ideas to be the best

I just want to convince Without force or persecution

Why are you smiling?

You are an actress!

Me?

Nero was an actor too in Rome in fire

I always wanted to spend one night with Nero

Hush up

I got used to much simpler compliments

Thank you for not telling anything to Cardinal. But... Why did you keep silence?

After I talked to you,

I've got a new, exotic, strange feeling

What is it?

Sympathy

I'm going away. I'm leaving France

You are not going, you are running away

Please, stay... I have completely...

lost my mind

Put it back

Stay...

The ship to Amsterdam won't wait for us

Tell me what we wrote in "Ethics" in a previous volume

Ethics, Ethics... Ethics: see "Morals"

Good. You will write in the "Morales" article the following:

Morals: see "Ethics"

But... - Don't argue

But this is cheating

Morals - Yes And absence of morals

But our readers will be torn between volumes VI and X and won't find anything

So much the better. They will start to think

I'm disappointed, monsieur

Me too, Abraham

Is life like this?

No, not life

This is philosophy

You want simple philosophy

But life is complex

Desire for simple ideas leads only to fantasies

Let your mind to be free

Go to sleep with one, wake up with another

I'm talking about ideas

Be engaged with one, attack another. And don't get attached to anyone

Thoughts are like women

You reject them, follow them, get tired of them,

and suddenly forsake everything and disappear

Philosophy is an accidental girl

Don't take it as true love

And don't trust anyone, Abraham

Even yourself

Excuse me monsieur, I'll be right back

Are these you in Madame Therbouche's painting?

Don't you see?

I'm not sure. Here is everything except the head

Abraham, please help us. Only you can help us

I can't right now

It is a question of life or death

Are you sure that Abraham is circumcised?

It is very likely with such name

Abraham, come in...

What is it?

Police, madame

Go back, quickly!

Come now, have some food

I can't see my friends skinnier than me

What is this?

Popcorn - No, thank you

It is not for you. Don't look

Police! They are coming here with the Cardinal!

You are surrounded! Surrender!

Surrender, Diderot!

Shoot!

We can't shoot at a church

Shoot in the air!

Break the door!

The church is a holy place

This is not a church, there is the clandestine printery!

Break the door!

Happy birthday, Father!

Happy birthday!

What? What's going on?

Look at this ungrateful man! He thinks that we forgot about him

Cellar! I want to go to cellar!

See, he has found out

I told you to not try surprising him

He is too smart

Come in monsieur, this is for you

Mind your steps. Let's dance

Stop! Marionettes, heretics!

This is not my birthday

Nobody is here

Strange

This is our present

We tried to hide it from you

An illustrated Bible with your initial

Unique. The only copy

It's beautiful

See, he likes it

I always knew that he likes these old fairy tales

This is me, looking like St Peter

All apostles look like you. Charming

You can't stop progress

Yes, we can't stop progress

I'd like to offer you a job

To be our agent in Amsterdam

Agent of the Encyclopedia

I accept your offer

Under one condition

Stay with me till volume XIII - Till XIII?

I'm tired and can't write "Morals" article. I need you for the main article of volume XIII

What is it about?

This article has to be created by two people

The arcticle is about Sensuality

You can't stop progress
