These men stole a young girl,
much like yourselves.
186
00:09:45,881 --> 00:09:49,510
This young girl was the kind
who liked being the center of attention.
187
00:09:49,594 --> 00:09:50,970
A spirited girl.
188
00:09:51,053 --> 00:09:54,849

a violent end for herself.

[Aunt Vidala] These men saw this girl,
and they were overcome by their urges.
192

They came in the night and took her.

Some of them were her Guardians.
196
00:10:13,743 --> 00:10:16,287
[Aunt Vidala] The urges of men
are terrible things,
197
00:10:16,370 --> 00:10:18,873

198

That is the burden that God
has personally laid upon each of you.

blessed us with a period.

She was my best friend.
226

Except we weren't allowed
to have best friends.
227
00:12:16,907 --> 00:12:19,493
The Aunts said that best friends
led to keeping secrets,
228
00:12:19,577 --> 00:12:21,746
and secrets led to disobedience,
229
00:12:21,829 --> 00:12:25,499
and disobedient girls became women
who were immoral, obviously.
