Britannic (2000 TV Movie)

Bruce Payne: Doctor Baker

Quotes 

• Sara Lewis : Surely you're not saying that God is in favor of war?

  Captain Barrett : What do you think, Chaplain? Does God pick sides?

  Sara Lewis : Of course He would be on our side, wouldn't He?

  Reynolds : With so many men dying on both sides, I wonder if He favors either of us.

  Captain Barrett : There's a terrible paradox. War is the perfect expression of free will. Which is, of course, God's gift to us.

  Reynolds : And like most of His gifts, it is unappreciated and often misused.

  Townsend : As I recall, the Bible is filled with stories of God giving His blessing to men who fight for a just cause.

  Doctor Baker : Come now, Townsend. You do not believe all this senseless killing warrants God's approval?

  Townsend : Are you saying He does not approve of courage and sacrifice?

  Sara Lewis : I assure you, I would be willing to do my bit. I realize that, as a female, my options are limited. I shall have to content myself with being the woman behind the man.

• Doctor Baker : It's one thing to die for a noble cause. What are we really fighting for? Arabia's oil? Mining rights to Africa?

  Reynolds : You mean this war is solely about the division of property?

  Captain Barrett : Now that sounds dangerously like socialism. And that's a dish we don't serve at this table.

• Reynolds : [Pointing a gun at Vera]  I'm sorry. I didn't want any of this to happen.

  Doctor Baker : Is this what you meant by war being impersonal?
