Anthony Quinn Quotes:
[Kiril hesitates]
Cardinal Leone: You must answer now. Do you accept election?
Kiril Lakota: I accept. And may God have mercy on me.
Cardinal Leone: By what name will you be called?
Kiril Lakota: We choose to be called by our own name, Kiril. He was the saint that first brought the Gospels into our country.
Agueda: So you force us to return. Now, your soldiers are going Priest. How will you hold us?
Leon Alastray: Well, Agueda. I hope you will all stay because... Because you all CHOOSE to stay.
Diego: When your protectors are gone, we will KILL you for this!
Leon Alastray: Diego, you will kill no one. You are a coward like all the rest.
Antonito: Why don't you call for help? Your soldiers can still hear you.
Leon Alastray: I call for no help. YOU are the weaklings always crying for help. For years, you hide behind Teclo and his... And his 17 vaqueros. You run to the hills and you hide like ANIMALS!
[thumps chest defiantly]
Leon Alastray: I fight my OWN battles!
[throws open church doors to reveal the horde of guns & ammo]
Kiril Lakota: I saw a brilliant mind reaching out to last frontiers of thought, a place where I wouldn't venture.
