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.
George Faber: The bell tolls. The Pope is dead. Listen to the bell.
[Crossed himself. Cut to multiple shots of mourners in the streets of Rome]
George Faber: This is the death knell that rings... only for the pontiff. Listen - there is a second bell. Soon they will be joined by other bells all over the city, all over every city, all over the world. The Pope is dead.
