Kingdom of Heaven by DT-Besotted

Godfrey: I knew your mother. (Pause). To be courteous I should say that it was against her objections... that I was the lord's brother and she had no choice... But I did not force her.

Godfrey: It is easy to find Jerusalem. You come to where the men speak Italian, and then continue until they speak something else.

Godfrey: Fuck his hand. I have fought two days with an arrow through a testicle.

Hospitaller: My German friend is a close student of the law.

Hospitaller: The bolt is broken off and cannot be cut out. If his ribs are broken the marrow may enter the blood. He will take a fever and die; or a cyst will form and he will live. He is in the hands of God.

Guy: Would I had seen you when you still did fight Muslims, rather than dine with them. You had a reputation. Once. Would I had fought you when you were still capable of making bastards.
Godfrey: I knew your mother when she was making hers. Fortunately, you are not one of mine.

Balian: What might a king ask of a man like me?
Godfrey: This king? A better world than has ever been seen. A kingdom of conscience. A kingdom of heaven.

Hospitaller: Each day do right. And no wrong.

Balian: Can you bless a man who has lost his religion?
Hospitaller: No matter. I put no stock in religion. (Pause). Holiness is in courage. All the goodness that God requires is here.... *with two fingers he touches Balian's forehead, and then his heart.* .... And here. By what you decide to do every day you will be a good man or not.

Guy: I have business in the East. My wife does not lament at my absences. That is either the best of wives *kisses the top of Sibylla's head* or the very, very worst.

Sibylla: The world will decide. The world always decides.

Tiberius: That I would rather live with people than kill them is certainly why you are alive.
Guy: That sort of Christianity has its uses. I suppose.

Templar Master: There must be war. God wills it.
Templars: God wills it. God wills it. God wills it.
Tiberius: Then pray Jerusalem that God will win it, for in the end we shall not.

Saladin: The results of battles are truly determined by God. But also by preparation, numbers, the absence of disease, and the availability of water.

Saladin: How many battles did God win for the Muslims before I came? *a courtly pause* Before, that is, God determined that I should come.

Saladin: When I am not king, I quake for Islam.

Balian: A man may move a man, you said. But the soul, you said, is the man's.

Sibylla: There will be a day when you will wish you had done a little evil to do a greater good.

Balian: Where do you go?
Hospitaller: To pray.
Balian: For what?
Hospitaller: For strength to endure what is to come.
Balian: What is to come?
Hospitaller: The end of this world.

Tiberias: First I thought I fought for God. Then I realized I fought for money and land. And then I was ashamed.

Balian: Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is your oath. *smacks the boy as Godfrey smacked him* And that's so you remember it.

Patriarch: One may convert to Islam, and repent later. It can be done....
