00:05:58 - Half past 4. - 90 minutes late, but I'd wait for an entire day.
00:09:59 - Good evening. - At your service. - Good evening.
00:13:45 I congratulate you, illustrious judge...
00:18:18 - The Baron? - You know how it is, the rich people want protection.
00:23:53 Vanni, stop!
00:27:02 - Why? - That's the first time the police have ever found anything around here.
00:30:32 - Sell outs! - May God strike down on you! - Quiet, you!
00:34:10 Sir, it's your turn.
00:36:35 - I thank you for your frankness. - Why?
00:39:54 Being an intelligent man, Sir will have already realised how things go around here.
