francis aldous i am so glad to see you i would have come sooner but your mother told me to wait i'm glad to see you too how are you feeling
Francis 0:54
Much better than when I arrived home.
Aldous 0:57
Your mother said you were delirious for weeks.
Francis 1:00
Yes, that's what they say. But Ardus, your leg. What happened?
Aldous 1:08
Just an unfortunate run-in with the blade of a sword. I'll be alright. The wound is healing. I just have to wear these bandages and use a cane for a while.
Francis 1:17
All of our dreams of glory, of being knights, like it was some kind of romantic adventure. What stupidity.
Aldous 1:27
Yes, I'm glad to be home again. Prison was terrible. Thank God we survived. So many didn't. What
Francis 1:38
a waste of life. All those friends of ours dead on the field, Aldous. And for what? We thought we were doing the right thing. I have had a lot of time to think. About what? God. God? What does he want of us, Aldous? I... I kept having this dream again and again. And in this dream, someone was asking... Will you follow the man or the master? What does that mean? Oh, I am not sure. But I intend to find out.

Why is Francis distracted while helping his father in the family shop?

Pietro 2:26
Francesco, could you put these red silks on that shelf and then stack the green ones next to them?
Francis 2:33
Yes, father.
Pietro 2:35
It's Ortolana Ofrenduccio, Francesco. One of our best clients. Will you see what she wants? I have to finish the inventory.
Francis 2:44
Yes, Father.
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 2:45
Salve, Signor de Bonadonne. Did you receive that shipment of embroidered French silks I was interested in?
Pietro 2:51
We did indeed, Signora Ofrenduccio. My son, Francesco, will be happy to help you. If you need me, come get me, Francesco. Francesco! Huh? Oh,
Francis 3:03
sorry, Father. Of course. Is there something special you are looking for, Senora?
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 3:12
I have been waiting to take a look at your new shipment of embroidered silks from France.
Francis 3:18
Uh-huh. Right over here.
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 3:20
Oh, they're exquisite. Do you have any in yellow? That's what I told your father I particularly wanted. Could you find it for me?
Francis 3:30
Um, what?
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 3:33
I said, could you find me your yellow embroidered silk? I love these blues and reds. But my daughter, Chiara, looks especially beautiful in yellow. A lemon yellow, which goes perfectly with her brown eyes and hair. Well,
Francis 3:52
um, how about this
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 3:54
one? Oh, no. That's a dark yellow. Much too harsh.
Francis 3:59
Okay. Um, would this one do?
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 4:03
That's gold, not yellow.
Francis 4:06
Oh, I am sorry. Then I do not think we have what you are looking for.
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 4:12
But your father told me he knew exactly the shade I needed. How
Pietro 4:16
do you like the silks, Signora Offreduccio?
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 4:19
Senor de Bonadonne, I distinctly remember you said you would order me yellow silk. Not a gold shade of yellow, not a dark yellow, but a soft lemon yellow.
Pietro 4:32
And so I did, Senora. Here it is. Lemon yellow. Just the shade you wanted.
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 4:40
Oh, yes, that's it. That's perfect. Chiara will love it.
Francis 4:46
I am sorry, Father. I did not see that one.
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 4:50
Please cut me the length I specified and send it to my house.
Pietro 4:54
Yes, Signora Refrenduccio.
Ortolana Ofrenduccio 4:56
And add it to my bill. Good day.
Pietro 4:59
Francesco, what is going on? Nothing. It is just... nothing, Father. Nothing? No. It's that you're not paying attention. We can't continue treating our customers like this. I'm concerned about you, Francesco. I know. I
Francis 5:20
am sorry.
Pietro 5:21
You've got to try
Francis 5:22
harder. Yes, Father.

Why does Francis question the purpose of life after returning from war?

Aldous 5:28
Francesco, you're very quiet tonight. What's wrong? I thought you recovered. I am all right. But you're definitely not yourself. I am just
Francis 5:38
thinking... About what? Don't you ever wonder what life is for? What is the meaning? The purpose? What did we risk our lives for?
Aldous 5:50
Well, maybe sometimes, but not at a party. Hey, Francesco, Delphine is looking for you. She wants to dance.
Francis 6:00
I do not feel like dancing tonight.
Aldous 6:02
Oh, come
Pietro 6:03
on. Have another drink. That'll get you in the mood,
Francis 6:06
huh? No, thanks. I have already had one.
Pietro 6:09
One is definitely not enough.
Aldous 6:11
I'm getting you another.
