-
Steven : What are you doing in this filthy place? Are you looking for something?
Agnes : I read a book in the convent library, about love and black magic. There was a passage I found fascinating.
Steven : What was it about?
Agnes : A magic root. Mandrake. It grows in a place like this. If a man and a woman eat of it, they will love each other forever.
Steven : Did it also say why you have to dig in this particular spot?
Agnes : The nuns inked out that passage very carefully.
Steven : When a man is hanged, he comes and his semen spills to the ground. That's where your mandrake sprouts.
Agnes : Explains why the passage was inked out.
