  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 : 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.
