Fr. David Telemond: I'm not afraid of being accused. I'm only afraid of being silenced.

Fr. David Telemond: It is strange. When a president dies, he's replaced within an hour. When a king dies, long live the king. When a pope dies, everything stops.

Fr. David Telemond: Not afraid of being accused. I'm only afraid of being silenced.

Fr. David Telemond: The doctors, they don't anything. They're like the auto-mechanics.

Fr. David Telemond: The doctors, they don't know anything. They're like the auto-mechanics.

Fr. David Telemond: You know even God has not spoken his last word about his own creation.

The Elder Pope: There is a legend about you. That once you were asked to deny the faith, and they tied up seven priests and shot them, shot them before your eyes. And still you would not deny the faith. Is that story true?
Kiril Lakota: I try not to look back on that, or other days, Holiness.
The Elder Pope: God is with you, my Brother. I believe that God has sent you. Trust us to make the best use of you. But first, you must be honored.
[Hold up the red cap of a cardinal]
The Elder Pope: Kneel.
[Lakota kneels]
The Elder Pope: You are created cardinal-priest in the title of Saint Athanasius.

The Marchesa: I am an old-fashioned woman, Mr. Faber. I believe in life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. But you have to know the rules of the game.

Piotr Ilyich Kamenev: Every day we ask ourselves what can we do about it before the nightmare turns itself into a mushroom cloud blotting out the sun.

Piotr Ilyich Kamenev: I took you to pieces like a watch. And put you together again. It was a very intimate experience. I have never been able to forget it. May I ask you a question?
Kiril Lakota: You never hesitated before.
Piotr Ilyich Kamenev: [laughs] That is true.
[Holds up a file]
Piotr Ilyich Kamenev: This is you. Political prisoner 103592R, Kiril Pavlovich Lakota. All of you is here, from the day you were born until now. Except for the answer to one question. What have you learned in twenty years of confinement?
Kiril Lakota: That is a big question, Piotr Ilyich.
Piotr Ilyich Kamenev: The answer is important to me, you know.
Kiril Lakota: What I have learned? I have learned that without some kind of loving a man withers like a grape on a dying vine.
Piotr Ilyich Kamenev: Is that all?
Kiril Lakota: [Chuckles] I am trying to learn more.
Piotr Ilyich Kamenev: Have you learned enough to face freedom?
Kiril Lakota: [Long Pause] I have been free for a long time. Not entirely, perhaps. But you have not answered my question. Why have you brought me here?
Piotr Ilyich Kamenev: I want to show you a world gone mad.
