Another person listens in and accuses Joseph of seducing Lisa because the seducer is an actor.

-25: The woman accused of being a witch is on a wagon and she and the soldiers join Antonius's group. They reach the stake and see skulls on the ground. Antonius asks the woman if he can talk to the Devil so he can get to know God. Antonius sees only terror, not the Devil in the woman's eyes. "Who will look after her?"
