Scenes with Robert Thorn
5 scenes Robert Thorn Get on with it. Say what you have to say.
"When the Jews return to Zion, and a comet rips the sky, and the Holy Roman Empire rises, then you and I must die. From the Eternal Sea, He rises, creating armies on either shore, turning man against his brother, till man exists, no more." The Book of Revelations predicted it all.
Robert Thorn I'm not here to listen to a sermon.
It is by means of a human personality entirely in his possession that Satan will wage his last formidable offence.
Robert Thorn You said that my wife was--
Go to the city of Megiddo... in the old city of Jezreel. There see the old man Bugenhagen. He alone can describe how the child must die.
Robert Thorn Look here--
He who will not be saved by the lamb will be torn by the beast!
Robert Thorn Will you stop? I'm here because you said my wife is in danger.
She is pregnant.
Robert Thorn You're mistaken. That's nonsense.
He'll not allow the child to be born. He will kill it while it slumbers in the womb.
Robert Thorn What in God's name are you talking about?
Your son, Mr. Thorn. The Son of the Devil. He will kill the unborn child. Then he will kill your wife. And then, when he is certain to inherit all that is yours, then, Mr. Thorn... he will kill you.
Robert Thorn That's enough.
And with your wealth and power he will esablish his counterfeit kingdom here on Earth, receiving his power directly from Satan!
Robert Thorn You're insane.
He must die Mr. Thorn!
Robert Thorn You asked for five minutes... and you've got five minutes.
Go to the city of Megiddo. See Bugenhagen before it's too late.
Robert Thorn. Now I've heard you. I want you to hear me. I never want to see you again.
You'll see me in Hell, Mr. Thorn. There we will share out our sentence.
Robert Thorn (answering phone)
Yes?
I'm sorry to bother you, Ambassador Thorn.
Robert Thorn Who is this?
My name is Keith Jennings, the photographer whose camera got smashed at the embassy. I wonder if it would be possible to have a word with you here at my flat?
Robert Thorn If this is about the camera--
No, it's not about the camera. It's about you, Mr. Thorn. And the death of the priest.
Robert Thorn Go on.
Look, I want know what he said. I have a right to know. Robert, I want to know what he said! Look, I'm not just some bystander. I was the one who found him!
Robert Thorn I'm the one who's supposed to kill him. These are knives. He wants me to stab him! He wants me to murder a child.
It's not a child!
Robert Thorn He doesn't know that! Maybe he's wrong. He's not responsible. I won't do it! [Throws the knives into an alley]
Mrs. Baylock I know this is a difficult time for you, so I'll not intrude on your grief. I'm here to take away some of your troubles and anxieties. We'll soon help your little boy to forget what's happened. I'm afraid, sir, that some of our young nannies, they get homesick, or they have boyfriend problems. I left all that behind a long time ago. Well, now, if you'll let me see your boy?
Well, yes, of course. He's upstairs. I'll show you where it is.
Mrs. Baylock Why don't you just leave us alone at first? Let us get acquainted in our own way.
Well, he's shy with new people.
Mrs. Baylock Oh, no. Not with me, he won't be.
...
I like her.
Robert Thorn She seems alright.
Where'd you find her?
Robert Thorn Where did I find her?
Yeah.
Robert Thorn I didn't find her. I assumed you found her.
Robert Thorn If there were anything wrong, you'd... tell me, wouldn't you?
Wrong? What could be wrong with our child, Robert? We're beautiful people, aren't we?
Robert Thorn There is something wrong, isn't there? [she hugs him] Kathy. Is it so serious?
Robert, I... I want... I need to see a psychiatrist. I... I have... fears. I have such fears.
Robert Thorn What kind of fears? What kind?
If I told you, you'd put me away.
