Simon Templar quotes from The Saint (1997)

A line from Simon Templar

My name is Bruno Hautenfaust. I was named for a Saint who was a very wealthy man. He had the wine, the women, the songs, the whole bit, and then inexplicably, took a vow of poverty and became a hermit. Ran off to live in the forest, in the nude.

The phone goes the other way, you moron.

[embarrassed]

I mean your sweater. There's blood on it. I'll wash it.

Very domestic. There's blood on your blouse as well. I'll wash it. [unbuttons her blouse, revealing her hidden cold fusion notes. He tries to remove them, but she doesn't let him] Do you have any wine?

Emma Russell
[reading Simon's journal aloud]

"I see my angel for the first time. Know my purpose, feel my birth, Hear, at first faintly, then distinctly The sweet strains of our union. Our love heats up the cold universe And gives my tired, desperate hope A reason and season to be revealed."

Simon Templar

"We, purified by our kisses, are eternally healed."

Emma Russell

After all, you are my personal saint.

Simon Templar

You have to be a very good, and usually very dead person to become a saint. And more importantly, you need to work three miracles. Now, get to work.

Simon Templar

Tell me you love me.

Emma Russell

I love you.

Simon Templar

Simon.

Emma Russell

I love you Simon.

Simon Templar

Miracle three.
