Quotes
-
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : There's a body in the river. A Jew, I think.
Pafait - Pelletier : You went down to the river without an escort?
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : Oh, please, Father, listen to me. This man was still wearing fine clothes, jewelry... and there was something else. The thumb on his left hand had been cut off.
Pafait - Pelletier : Take me to him now.
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : [cut to the body being retrieved] You thought he might be someone you knew, didn't you?
Pafait - Pelletier : Hmm. An old friend from my days in Chartres.
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : But why would they cut off his thumb?

Pafait - Pelletier : War is coming, Alais. It's time I told you the truth.
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : What truth?
Pafait - Pelletier : About a vow I made many years ago. Now, you're going to think I'm drunk or I've lost my wits, but you must believe me. I'm talking of the true history of the grail.
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : The Holy Grail? The cup that Christ drank from the night of the Last Supper?
Pafait - Pelletier : Well, the legend of the grail has its place in Christian tradition. The real story, the true story, is much older than that. See, the ancients possessed wisdom that has long since been lost to us, and the grail is the secret essence of that wisdom.
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : What is that secret?
Pafait - Pelletier : All you need to know for now is that many years ago, I was admitted to a secret brotherhood sworn to protect it. The wisdom of the grail is contained in three books, and I am in possession of one of them.
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : You?
Pafait - Pelletier : It was entrusted to me by a man named Harif. I met him in the Holy Land. He's without doubt the wisest man I've ever known.
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : Where are the two remaining books?
Pafait - Pelletier : Safely with the other guardians. I heard today from Harif that the three books are to be reunited and taken to a safe place in the mountain.
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : The other guardians. Do you know who they are?
Pafait - Pelletier : One of them. He's an old friend. Jew named Simeon.
Alais Pelletier Du Mas : It was Simeon you thought to be found murdered in the river.
Pafait - Pelletier : I was wrong, thank God. But I do believe an innocent man was mistaken for him. Somehow, our secret has been betrayed.
