conclave
from the 2024 film. alter as needed.
do you think that anybody would mind if i took that, as a keepsake?
i know this is hard for you.
you know how rumor spreads.
it seems the responsibility falls upon you.
is this really necessary?
they say eavesdroppers can use lasers to read the vibrations of the glass.
i'd say this is a pretty fair vision of hell.
that'd be too much to hope for.
let's stay out here and get some fresh air.
have you seen the papers?
you are more worthy than any of us.
i could never live with myself.
sorry, my train was delayed.
no one is ever well at our age.
apparently pope john the 23rd was too fat to fit into the biggest cassock, so they had to split the seam at the back for him to get in.
this is a duty i thought i'd never have to perform.
i haven't got time to hear your confession.
what's troubling you? tell me.
i should have come to you before, but i promised not to say anything.
oh, and you see it as your duty to prevent that, do you?
i don't think we have any choice.
bless us, oh lord, and these, your gifts, which we are about to receive from your bounty.
why do i feel like a cow being priced by the farmer?
it is tomorrow night that the real work begins.
listen, you don't have to do anything. just leave it to us.
i stand for never returning to the days of families of ten children because mama and papa didn't know any better.
i have no intention of concealing my views or pretending to be anything other than i am.
the men who are dangerous are the ones who do want it.
i'm enjoying all this mystery.
i don't know. i'm just trying to make sense of this.
you're a manager. manage.
let me speak from the heart for a moment.
certainty is the great enemy of unity, and the deadly enemy of tolerance.
our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand-in-hand with doubt.
please make sure your handwriting is legible.
it's the kind of thing the press like to get hold of.
my spanish is quite poor.
i love turtles. they're so clever.
may i call you [first name]?
i only mention it to illustrate my point.
i had no idea you were so ambitious.
that's a ridiculous thing to say.
i thought we had your support.
it is a war! and you have to commit to a side.
save your previous doubts for your prayers.
you can't seriously believe that i have the slightest desire.
deny it if you like, but search your heart and then tell me it isn't so.
well, i take it something happened.
there's been an explosion.
it's too late for all that.
please sit, my child. how are you feeling?
i want you to understand that, first of all, you are not in any kind of trouble.
it's important you tell me anything that is in your heart or that is troubling you. can you do that for me? it will go no further than this room.
i am the victim of a disgraceful plot to ruin my reputation.
i sensed the presence of the holy spirit this morning, i swear it.
do not use this to ruin me. please, i beg you.
i know you to be a good man.
whatever it was, it can't have been serious.
it's not my job to go hunting for secrets.
i feel as if i'm at some american political convention.
we're mortal men. we serve an ideal.
this is sad. i shall pray for you.
it isn't libel, it's the truth!
you should be careful. your own ambition has not gone unnoticed.
this might be seen as a tactic to blacken the name of a rival.
i shall pretend this conversation never took place.
put them back, or burn them.
stay clear of this, leave it to me.
i'm willing to handle the consequences.
although i am supposed to be invisible, i was nevertheless given eyes and ears.
that firm hand of yours has its admirers.
i've come to ask for your forgiveness.
it's shameful to be this age and still not know yourself.
no one was seriously hurt. some cuts, that's all.
with respect, what do you know about war?
the thing you're fighting is here, inside each and every one of us.
these last few days we have shown ourselves to be small petty men.
the church is not tradition. the church is not the past. the church is what we do next.
i wonder if i could have a word in private.
it was a very dark time for me.
perhaps it is my difference that will make me more useful.
i know what it is to exist between the world's certainties.
