Part 4 (2017)

Zachary Levi: Jeremiah Pontelli

Quotes 

• Jeremiah Pontelli : We could go to the United States.

  Grace Marks : What's it like there?

  Jeremiah Pontelli : Well, in many ways, it's the same as here. There are rogues and scoundrels everywhere, they merely use a different sort of language to excuse themselves. There they pay great lip service to democracy, just as here they rant on about the right order of society and loyalty to the Queen. And yet the poor are poor on every shore.

• Jeremiah Pontelli : If people wish to believe a thing, if they long for it and depend on it to be true, is it cheating to help them to their own belief.
