Marie Soubirous:
[upon Bernadette Soubirous having just seen the Lady at the Massabielle Grotto in Lourdes, France for the first time]
What were you doing over there, kneeling in the rocks? Bernadette:
Didn't you see anyone? Marie Soubirous:
Who? Jeanne Abadie:
Was somebody with you, in that cave?... [coyly] Jeanne Abadie:
Oh, somebody was; and you were praying for forgiveness. Bernadette:
[slightly aghast]
Jeanne! Marie Soubirous:
Come on, tell us who it was. Bernadette:
Well, if I tell you, you must swear not to give me away. If mama should hear of it she might take a stick to me. Marie Soubirous:
[forms a cross with her fingers]
I swear. Jeanne Abadie:
I give you my word but I won't swear. Swearing like that's a mortal sin, and you don't want me to sin like that just before my first communion do you?... Aw, Come on, tell us. Bernadette:
Well, I saw a lady, and she was all in white; and she wore a blue girdle and had a golden rose on each foot. I've never seen anything in my life so beautiful. Jeanne Abadie:
[skeptically]
Ah, piff. What would a beautiful lady be doing in a filthy place like that? Bernadette:
I don't know. But she was there, truly she was

00:00:23.895 --> 00:00:26.961
Well, if I tell you...
00:00:27.999 --> 00:00:29.364
you must swear
not to give me away.
00:00:29.463 --> 00:00:32.999
If maman should hear of it,
she might take a stick to me.

- I swear.
- I give you my word, but I won't swear.
00:00:35.831 --> 00:00:37.653
Swearing like that

00:00:53.879 --> 00:00:57.457
and had a golden rose
on each foot.
00:00:57.559 --> 00:01:00.974
I've never seen anything
in my life so beautiful.
00:01:01.003 --> 00:01:03.086
Oh, piffle.
00:01:03.958 --> 00:01:06.893
What would a beautiful lady
be doing in a filthy place like that?
00:01:06.998 --> 00:01:08.973
I don't know.
00:01:09.003 --> 00:01:12.006
But she was there...
truly, she was.
00:01:12.001 --> 00:01:13.999
Tsk.
00:01:14.997 --> 00:01:17.137
Come on.
Let's get away from here.
00:01:17.238 --> 00:01:19.002
You take that bundle.
00:01:19.158 --> 00:01:22.453
No. I'll take this one.
It's bigger, and you must be tired.
00:01:45.974 --> 00:01:47.001
The girls are not home yet?
00:01:47.001 --> 00:01:49.001
Huh? No.
00:01:52.373 --> 00:01:55.001
Oh, uh, Madame Millet's
coachman was here...
00:01:55.253 --> 00:01:58.997
said there wouldn't
be anymore washing for you to do.
00:02:00.693 --> 00:02:03.999
Tsk.
00:02:03.999 --> 00:02:05.259
Where is the food
going to come from?
00:02:05.999 --> 00:02:07.187
Don't ask me.
00:02:07.285 --> 00:02:10.001
