do i have the second scene of Maurice (1987) memorized? let's find out.
- it's a horrible noise
and it's unhealthy
- but music is
about death, it always has been.

(I think
he's trying to provoke us)
- go on then risley, enlighten us

- a superior mind wouldn't need enlightening. music is the highest of the arts, it needs no reference to the figurative or the corporeal, it is therefore of all the arts the closest to death
- wagner's by no means unhealthy he's merely expressing almost exactly the state of things

- HELP yourselves to potatoes, Hall, don't stand on ceremony

- I can't stand music. Or concert halls
- I don't go in for being superior

- don't you? I do

- come along chapman you're in need of food.

- i expect lord risley isnt, i've put him off with my low talk
- I simply can't think of a reply to that.

-what about saying nothing

- say nothing? horrible, he must be mad
- what you do is more importnt thatn what you say your deeds are more important than your words

- what is the difference? words are deeds. are you trying to say these few minutes talking in the deans room have done nothing for you? will you ever forget that you've met me?
- risley you're confusing what is important with what is impressive . chapman and hall will always remember they've met you, of that I have no doubt

- exactly, becase of my conversation! they'll forget that they were engaged in the act of eating, a cutlet
- at least the cutlet does some good to them. you do not.

- i mean, dean, that a cutlet merely influences their subconscious life. I by my words, shape the consciousness. I am therefore not only more impressive than the cutlet, but infitinietly more important.
your dean here dweels in superstitous clouds of of Christian self-righteousness. your dean pretends that only insensate faith is of any significance and daily he droops soporific into his soup

- oh risley, shut up, come on
- I think if a man has ideas liek that he should have the courtesy to keep them to himself.

- nonono on the contrary, one must talk talk talk! it's only by tallking that we shall caper upon the summit, otherwise the mountains will overshadow us. i'm sure, hall you will agree
