Hospitaller
You sail now for Jerusalem as your father wished. I'll follow within the week. Now the voyage is perilous. If God has purpose for you there, he'll keep you safe in his hands. [pauses] If not, God bless.

If the ribs are broken, the marrow will enter the blood and you will develop fever and die or a cyst will form and you will live. You're in the hands of God.

Hospitaller
I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God. I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. And goodness - what God desires - is here [points to Balian's head] and here [points to Balian's heart] and by what you decide to do every day you will be a good man...or not.
Scenes with Hospitaller
6 scenes
Guy de Lusignan and Reynald de Chatillon, with the Templars... have attacked a Saracen caravan.
Crusaders
Liar!
Silence!
It was no caravan. It was an army headed for Bethlehem to desecrate the birthplace of our Lord!
Reynald, with the Templars, have broken the king's pledge of peace. Saladin will come into this kingdom...
Tiberias knows more than a Christian should about Saladin's intentions.
[Walks up to him]
That I would rather live among men than kill them, is certainly why YOU are still alive.
We must not go to war with Saladin! We do not want it, and we may not win it.
Blasphemy! [All crusaders burst repeating in unison] An army of Jesus Christ, which bears his holy cross, cannot be beaten!
Hospitaller
Does the count of Tiberias suggest that it could be?
There must be war. God wills it! [All crusaders burst repeating in unison and King Baldwin IV raises a hand for silence]
Silence!
Saladin has crossed the Jordan with 200,000 men.
He will make first for Kerak and Reynald de Chatillon. [Walks up to King Baldwin IV] My lord...
We must meet him before he reaches Kerak. I will lead the army.
My lord, if you travel, you'll die.
Send word to Balian to protect the villagers. Assemble the army! [Crusaders excitedly roar]
Hospitaller
Are you sorry for your sins?
Hospitaller
So, how find you Jerusalem?
God does not speak to me. Not even on the hill where Christ died. I am outside God's grace.
Hospitaller
I have not heard that.
At any rate, it seems I have lost my religion.
Hospitaller
I put no stock in religion. By the word religion, I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the "Will of God". I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. And goodness - what God desires - [pointing at his head then heart] is here and here. And what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man, [smiles] or not.
You go to certain death.
Hospitaller
All death is certain. I will tell your father what I have seen you become.
You go with the Army?
Hospitaller
My order is with the Army.
You go to certain death.
Hospitaller
All death is certain. I shall tell your father what I have seen you become.
Hospitaller
I go to pray.
For what?
Hospitaller
For the strength to endure what is to come.
And what is to come?.
Hospitaller
The reckoning is to come for what was done one hundred years before. The Muslims will never forget. [Pauses and looks back to Balian]. Nor should they.
