- ❝
I am about to meet my maker, and I have confessed.
❞
- ❝
You are afraid to enter, but you must.
❞
- ❝ And, I confess… I am very afraid.. ❞
- ❝
You will fight, like dogs… over this corpse I leave…for this throne. ❞
- ❝
We have all sullied it, with our greed and… lechery.
❞
- ❝
We must get you out of here, before they lock the doors.
❞
- ❝
I have waited a lifetime for this moment; we will go over it again.
❞
- ❝
I will not forgive failure. From you, or your brother. Am I understood?
❞
- ❝ Your father found ways to love and care for us in this house. ❞
- ❝
What other course is there? It’s in the hands of God.
❞
- ❝
If you were a different man, I might vote for you.
❞
- ❝
You find me lacking in those qualities?
❞
- ❝
I shall fight you. To the end, and beyond that, if need be.
❞
- ❝
But what talk we of fighting? It is all on God’s hands.
❞
- ❝
I have corrupted my soul. ❞
- ❝
I beg you, now, to release me of my vows- and let me live as a layman. ❞
- ❝
You planned this massacre thoroughly.
❞
- ❝
You could’ve… let things take their course, betrayed me.
❞
- ❝
Can you dispose of these corpses?
❞
- ❝
You would keep them secret?
❞
- ❝
That’s a different kind of nothing. That will cost you something.
❞
- ❝
Well… perhaps we should threaten them, with just that possibility.
❞
- ❝
The time will come when all your finery, goods and chattles will profit you nothing!
❞
- ❝ I would hazard there was a purpose for that meeting. ❞
- ❝
But, they suffer less than me, do they not? He kills them quickly.
❞
- ❝
Do you suffer?
❞
- ❝
If I could write, I would send him a letter.
❞
- ❝
What if I had you whipped, for wickedness?
❞
- ❝
I thought I would never know sweetness.
❞
- ❝
I said, enough pleasantries, did I not?
❞
- ❝ Those words would never pass my lips. ❞
- ❝
What you’ve done, is our doing also.
❞
- ❝
I want to restore the universal Church to her former dignity.
❞
- ❝
You would entice me to battle- but, do you know what that means?
❞
- ❝
No war is just. War is chaos.
❞
- ❝
There is blood, death, armor against armor until one side… surrenders.
❞
- ❝ You will find yourself in a place… beyond prayer itself. ❞
- ❝
You bought those three weeks with murder!
❞
- ❝
You begged me not to place myself in harm’s way.
❞
- ❝
Yet the crime is written on your face!
❞
- ❝
And to think, I thought you knew me.
❞
- ❝
I had no idea you had such capabilities!
❞
- ❝
You read what my heart wanted, and you gave it to me.
❞
- ❝
You gave me… joy. Through a crime, I could not have conceived.
❞
- ❝
And now, I must live my life in penance, praying for forgiveness.
❞
- ❝
You may find a nunnery cell, but you will never be free of me!
❞
- ❝
You will need a new language, then.
❞
- ❝
If he does ill by you, I shall do ill by him.
❞
- ❝
We may all have to adjust ourselves to new realities.
❞
- ❝
Had you hoped for gold and silver vestments?
❞
- ❝
I have… no other to compare him with.
❞
- ❝
But, in case- just in case- we would make a request of Your Holiness.
❞
- ❝
You would have me accompany your army as… a hostage?!
❞
- ❝
It is an august sight, is it not?
❞
- ❝
We should thank God for all the blessings he has visited upon this- our family.
❞
- ❝
There is no need for last rights, but your prayers will be welcomed.
❞
- ❝
Don’t worry- if you’re not dead by now, you will live.
❞
- ❝
Your tongue will be swollen for days- no talking, I’m afraid.
❞
- ❝
There we go! that’s nice, isn’t it?
❞
- ❝ Oh- but how could that concern us? ❞
- ❝ So… Now, is the time of reckoning, for those who betrayed us.. ❞
- ❝
Impossible loves- I am very much afraid they can become an addiction.
❞
- ❝
One you must love before you can love anyone.
❞
- ❝ There is one your heart must find room for, [Name]. ❞
- ❝
And, if I may be so bold… I would ask for your advice.
❞
- ❝
You fear for the constancy of your lover’s affections?
❞
- ❝
When his eye wanders, as it did from me to you?
❞
- ❝
You must hate me.
❞
- ❝
And, if you would take my advice… don’t do as I did; rage, remonstrate, play the wounded wife.
❞
- ❝
They were fed yesterday, but today they starve.
❞
- ❝
The poor will always be with us, Your Holiness.
❞
- ❝
Once, and only once. Just… tell me what to do.
❞
- ❝ I mean you no harm, kind sir, whoever you may be!
❞
- ❝
Please talk to me, my love.
❞
- ❝
You are the light of my life… the light of this family’s life.
❞
- ❝
I will not have this family at war with itself!
❞
- ❝
Have you come to confess?
❞
- ❝
You… will choose a bride, in your ancestral homeland, [Country].
❞
- ❝
Perhaps battle should wait, then- until his full health returns.
❞
- ❝
Why? Why should I spare myself?
❞
- ❝
She has released my heart… of all emotions, but one.
❞
- ❝
Oh- you’ve come to sample them, perhaps?
❞
- ❝
You think so little of your charms?
❞
- ❝
There is a form of surrender which implies no submission.
❞
- ❝
You are our guest this fine evening- I’d have no discord between us.
❞
- ❝
You offer him something that money cannot buy. Heaven itself.
❞
- ❝
And, how can you buy one who would outlaw trade itself?
❞
- ❝ If I were caught, I would be disemboweled and burned-. ❞
- ❝
It’s a cruel world!
❞
- ❝
God speaks through me. I hear his voice.
❞
- ❝ It is a daughter’s duty to marry her father’s choice! ❞
- ❝ So, I am to have no voice in the matter?! ❞
- ❝ I am to lie on my back and wait to be ravaged by a beast of your choosi- ❞
- ❝ This will come to pass- you shall see. ❞
- ❝ Like me, you have just declared a war. ❞
- ❝ An Eternity in Heaven or an Eternity in Hell! What will it be?! ❞
