The Agony and the Ecstasy

00:00:57 The dome of St. Peter's.

00:05:30 The renowned Pitti Madonna.

00:11:42 Acclaimed by the world for his titanic figures in marble...

00:22:59 l don't beg for the pope's favors.

00:28:37 Certainly a better artist than he is a poet.

00:32:01 l'm no judge of what's proper for a pontiff.

00:36:49 - As a cardinal, perhaps it's my duty. - Will you?

00:39:50 For then you will drown-- not in paint but in the Bosporus.

00:47:39 - l opened it only 1 0 minutes ago. - lt's still sour.

00:53:21 Michelangelo?

01:05:01 - Silence! - l tell you l was coming to see you.

01:32:51 And the female figures?

01:36:04 To make a plaything for a noble woman?

01:42:57 l just wanted people to see what had been done.

01:48:24 - Half-finished. - Half-finished, yes.

01:53:21 Don't delude yourself...

01:59:09 it's a proof of faith.

02:02:57 - All too late. - And when they hear he's stricken?

02:12:14 Will you always cross me, Buonarroti?

02:15:12 To work, my son.
