A scene from Kingdom of Heaven 2005
Town priest
[To Balian working on sharpening swords in the town blacksmith forge]

The village does not want you. When the old lord is dead, they will drive you out. When the bishop is dead, it is certain.

Balian

And you take my property.

Town priest

The Church.

Balian

You.

Town priest

They would have taken you to Jerusalem... away from... all this. I arranged it. I swear to you... you will have no peace so long as you stay here. No man ever needed a new world more. Imagine your sin and pain erased. All. [Balian takes out a sword and starts malleablizing it] If you take the Crusade... you may relieve your wife's position in hell. I put it delicately. She was a suicide. She is in hell. Though what she does there without a head... [Balian notices priest's cross necklace, holds it up and impales him with sword throwing him onto fire, Balian takes the necklace with priest leaping out igniting the forge]

Godfrey of Ibelin Have you come to kill me? Even these days, it is not easy. Well? Balian I have done... murder. Godfrey of Ibelin Haven't we all? Balian of Ibelin What could a king ask of a man like me? Godfrey of Ibelin A new world. A better world than has ever been seen. There, you are not what you are born but what you have it in yourself to be. A kingdom of conscience, of peace instead of war, love instead of hate. That is what lies in the end of a crusade. A kingdom of heaven. Guy de Lusignan If I had fought you when you were still capable of making bastards... Godfrey of Ibelin I knew your mother when she was making hers. Fortunately you're too old to be one of mine.
