- Phillipe: Sir, the truth is, I talk to God all the time, and, no offense, but He never mentioned you.
- Etienne Navarre: Each generation is called upon to follow its own quest.
- Phillipe: And what is your quest?
- Etienne Navarre: I must kill a man.
- Phillipe: Tell me - does this walking corpse have a name?
- Lieutenant: Open this door in the name of His Holiness the Bishop of Aquila.
- Imperius: Be off with you. This is a house of God, not a brothel.
- Lieutenant: I said open this door in the name of His Grace, the Bishop of Aquila.
- Imperius: I've met the bishop, you blasphemous lout. And you look nothing like him.
- Soldier #1: Where is Navarre?
- Phillipe: Navarre? Navarre? Ah, yes. Big man, black horse. I thought I saw him ride south, toward Aquila
- Soldier #2: Ha, then we ride north.
- Phillipe: It isn't polite to assume that someone is a liar when you've only just met them.
- Soldier #1: And yet you knew we would. We ride south.
- Phillipe: [talking to God] I told the truth, Lord. How can I learn any moral lessons when you keep confusing me this way?
- Phillipe: We have come full circle, Lord. I would like to think there is some higher meaning in this. It certainly would reflect well on You.
- [after picking someone's pocket]
- Phillipe: I know I promised, Lord, never again. But I also know that YOU know what a weak-willed person I am.
- Soldier #2: [finds Phillipe hiding on an embattlement ledge] Where is the woman?
- Phillipe: She flew away.
- Soldier #2: I said where is she?
- Phillipe: God's truth! She flew away!
- Soldier #2: If you don't...
- [soldier is shot by Navarre's crossbow bolt and falls to his death]
- Phillipe: Always pays to tell the truth, Lord. Thank you. I see that now.
- City guard: [about to slay Navarre in his wolf form] I've never had the pleasure of killing a wolf before.
- Imperius: How strange. That's exactly what the Bishop said. I'm sure he'll understand your depriving him of the pleasure. He's a very forgiving sort of man.
- Insane Prisoner: The Mouse? He left our house. No mouse today, he's run away. To ease the pain, he... he's down the drain.
- Phillipe: [escaping from the dungeon] This is not unlike escaping my mother's womb. God, what a memory.
- Etienne Navarre: Do you know that hawks and wolves mate for life? The Bishop didn't even leave us that... not even that.
- Phillipe: [gathering firewood for Navarre] Look at me, Lord. I was better off in the dungeons of Aquila. My cellmate was insane, and a murderer... but HE respected me!
- Etienne Navarre: [after catching Phillipe using his sword to cut firewood] This sword has been in my family for five generations. It has never known defeat. Until now.
- Phillipe: Lord, I'll never pick another pocket again as long as I live. I swear it. But here's the problem: You've got to let me live. How can I prove my good faith to you? If you've heard me, this ledge will remain steady as a rock, and that thing coming at me won't be what I think it is. If it is, there's no hard feelings, of course, but I'd be very disappointed.
- Phillipe: [referring to Navarre] He wants something from me. I can see it in his eyes. Well, whatever it is, I'm not going to do it! I'm still a young man, you know. I've got prospects!
- Etienne Navarre: [spots Phillipe and Imperius walking away] You two!
- [they turn to him]
- Etienne Navarre: Come here.
- [Philipe and Imperius approach Navarre and Isabeau]
- Imperius: May God's blessings, be with you both, from this day forward.
- Etienne Navarre: I bless the day that he brought you back to us, father.
- [turns to Phillipe]
- Etienne Navarre: And you. And you...
- [he kisses Phillipe on the cheek]
- Isabeau: [kisses Phillipe's cheek] You're the truest friend we could ever have.
- Marquet: [to his soldiers as they leave to recapture Philipe] The name of the man who finds Philippe Gaston will be brought to the personal attention of the Bishop - as will the BODY of the man who lets him get away!
- Etienne Navarre: This lady... Did she perhaps have a name?
- Phillipe: Not that she mentioned, why?
- Etienne Navarre: Well, she may wander into my dreams. Wouldn't it be nice, if I could call her by name and pretend we've met before? I've waited a long time for such a lady.
- Phillipe: There are strange forces at work in your life. Magical ones that surround you. I don't understand them, but they frighten me. You have given me my life. The truth is I can never repay you. I have no honor, and never will have. I don't think you would kill me for being what I am, but better that than to return to Aquila.
- [he starts to walk away when Navarre throws his sword at the tree next to him]
- Phillipe: [Phillipe turns back to see Navarre looking at him wickedly]
- Phillipe: ...I'll gather some wood for the fire.
- [Ladyhawke flies to Phillipe instead of Navarre]
- Etienne Navarre: Last night...
- Phillipe: Captain?
- Etienne Navarre: Tell me about it.
- Phillipe: What's to tell?
- [to Ladyhawke]
- Phillipe: Go on, go. Go, go... Go to the one you love. Well, we ran into a bit of trouble on our way to an inn.
- Etienne Navarre: You took Isabeau to an inn?
- Phillipe: Well, first we had to go to a stable.
- Etienne Navarre: What did you do in a stable?
- Phillipe: We changed clothes.
- Etienne Navarre: *What*?
- Phillipe: Well, not together, of course.
- Etienne Navarre: You left her alone?
- Phillipe: No, never.
- Etienne Navarre: So you *did* change.
- Phillipe: No. No. No.
- Bishop: [Navarre approaches the Bishop with his sword drawn] But kill me, Navarre, and the curse will go on forever. You must think of Isabeau.
- Etienne Navarre: Isabeau... is dead! Damn you.
- [raises his sword to strike]
- Etienne Navarre: Damn you to Hell!
- Isabeau: Navarre?
- Etienne Navarre: [upon seeing Phillipe's claw marks] What is that?
- Imperius: That happened last night when he saved he your life.
- Etienne Navarre: [pause, then to Phillipe] Forgive me.
- [pulls Phillipe to his feet and hugs him]
- Etienne Navarre: I'll show you idiots how to cage a wolf.
- Bishop: Great storms announce themselves with a single breeze, and a single random spark can ignite the fires of rebellion.
- Phillipe: [regarding the empty space in the hilt of Navarre's sword] Sir, you don't think that I took that...
- Etienne Navarre: No, this is mine to fill. Each generation is called upon to follow its own quest.
- Phillipe: What is your quest?
- Etienne Navarre: I must kill a man.
- Phillipe: Tell me - does this walking corpse have a name?
- Etienne Navarre: His Grace, the Bishop of Aquila.
- Phillipe: The Bishop. I see. Well... Well, then you have much to do. And I've already been enough of a burden to you. I do hope our paths cross again one day.
- Etienne Navarre: I need you to guide me into the city.
- Phillipe: Not for the life of my mother! Even if I knew who she was.
- Etienne Navarre: You are the only one who has ever escaped from there.
- Phillipe: It was chance! Pure chance! A miracle! Once in a lifetime! I fell down a hole and followed my nose!
- Etienne Navarre: [sighs] I have waited almost two years for a sign from God. So when I heard the morning bells of Aquila, I knew the moment of my destiny had come. You will be my guiding angel.
- Phillipe: Me?
- Etienne Navarre: [nods]
- Phillipe: Sir, the truth is I talk to God all the time, and no offense, but He never mentioned you.
- Etienne Navarre: No?
- Etienne Navarre: Tell me everything that she said. And I warn you, I will know if the words are hers.
- Etienne Navarre: I need you to guide me.
- Phillipe: Not for the life of my mother! Even if I knew who she was.
- Etienne Navarre: And know this - if you fail, I will follow you the length of my days. And I will find you.
- [first lines]
- Phillipe: Impossible. Impossible. Nothing is impossible. Come on, Mouse. Dig! Dig, Mouse. Come on.
- Phillipe Gaston: What a night...
- Etienne Navarre: What happened?
- Phillipe: Oh, nothing I couldn't handle.
