Kingdom of Heaven quotes
Page 2 of 5I go to pray.
For what?
For the strength to endure what is to come.
And what is to come?.
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.
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.
I have not heard that.
At any rate, it seems I have lost my religion.
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.
Why would it be his horse?
Because it is on his land.
I took this horse from the sea.
[Says to the Cavalier in Arabic]
Wajdi al-hisānu min-bahr ("he found the horse from sea").
[Saracen Cavalier speak to him in Arabic and Imad interpretes for Balian]
He says you are a great liar, and he will fight you because you are a liar.
I have no desire to fight.
Then you must give him the horse!
No.
Oh. Hello.
[Mouths hello]
I was dreaming. I was back in that summer, when I defeated Saladin. Do you remember it?
Yes.
You've always been beautiful. In every way.
My beautiful sister. I've missed you. I'm sorry if I've caused you any pain. Remember me as I was.
I will. (leans down to kiss the brow of his mask. He dies)
Yes.
You had the Templars kill Balian?
Yes, and now, give me a war.
That is what I do.
Richard Coeur de Lion We come by this road to find Balian, who was the defender of Jerusalem.
I am the blacksmith.
Richard Coeur de Lion And I am the King of England.
pPauses] I am the blacksmith.
I pray you'll pull back your cavalry and leave this matter to me.
I pray you retire unharmed to Damascus. Raynald of Châtillon will be punished, I swear it. Withdraw or we will all die here. [Pause] Do we have terms?
We have terms. [Pause] I will send you my physicians.
I will grant every soul safe passage to Christian lands. Every soul. The women, the children, the old. And all your knights and soldiers. And your Queen. Your King, such as he is, I leave to you, and what God will make of him. No one will be harmed. I swear it to God.
The Christians butchered every Muslim within the walls when they took this city.
Will you yield the city?
Before I lose it, I will burn it to the ground. Your holy places - ours. Every last thing in Jerusalem that drives men mad.
I wonder if it would not be better if you did.
Baldwin V
No.
Do you remember why?
Baldwin V
No.
And he was so lonely that...he called all the gods.
Baldwin V
Why?
Because he was desperate. As a proof of love.
[Singing a lullaby in what sounds like French, she uncorks a bottle and with tears in her eyes she strokes back the hair of her sleeping son to reveal his ear. She tips the liquid in the bottle into his ear, and trails off, mouthing the song. She has euthanized her son because of his affliction with his uncle's horrific disease, leprosy. We see a toy the boy was playing with being wet by the rain outside the canopy over the summerhouse, and the scene ends].
What becomes of us?
The world will decide. The world always decides.
No. [Stops] And yes.
[Laughs]
A woman in my place has two faces, one for the world and one which she wears in private. With you I'll be only Sybilla [Hears a noise and turns her head. A servant hides behind a wall] Tiberias thinks me unpredictable. I am unpredictable.
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!
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]
There is a rumour. We must condemn it immediately.
Call it treason. And kill those who whisper it.
The rumour will die, if we show the boy as active.
[Screams passionately and throws back the chair she sitting on onto the floor. Clearly very distressed]
How long before he wears a mask? Will you have one made for him? How did my boy deserve it?
[Shakes head]
Jerusalem is dead Tiberias. No kingdom is worth my son alive in hell. I will go to hell instead.
