Archbishop Vittorio Contini-Verchese : When your rose fell to the ground, I understood at last, the sadness you always wear like a holy mantle.
Ralph de Bricassart : Oh Vittorio, I have tried so hard to get her out of my heart.
Archbishop Vittorio Contini-Verchese : You think I don't know that?
Ralph de Bricassart : Then why?
Archbishop Vittorio Contini-Verchese : Ralph, our God has given us freewill. And with that freewill comes the burden of choice. It is time, far past time that you took up that burden, because until you do, you cannot go on.
