A scene from Aguirre, the Wrath of God 1972
Gaspar

Has this savage heard of our savior, Jesus Christ and of our true mission to save their souls? This is a Bible. It contains the words of God which we are bringing to enlighten the darkness of their world. Has he understood that in this book are stored the words of God? You may hold it, my son.

Balthasar

He says it does not speak. [Native man throws down the Bible.]

Soldier

Kill him for his blasphemy! [Gaspar runs the man through.]
Gaspar (narrating): The way will be hard. These savages are difficult to convince.
