John Hurt: Priest

Quotes 

• Priest : Why did you tell me that story?

  The Confessor : Just came to mind.

  Priest : No, I don't think so. I'm sure there are many other stories that you could have told me that would have shocked me, but you chose to tell me of a time in your life when you showed kindness. I suspect you don't want to do this anymore. I think you're looking for a reason to stop.

  The Confessor : You think you've got me figured out? You don't know the slightest thing about me, the things I've done. Do you remember a man named Sheldon Hoffman?

  Priest : Yes, of course.

  The Confessor : Stole billions of dollars from his investors. Do you think a man like that deserves to live?

  Priest : If I remember correctly, he tried to put things right.

  The Confessor : Is that what you think? After ruining all those people's lives, he just suddenly turned around and had a bout of conscience?

  Priest : I'm not privy to what was in his heart.

  The Confessor : Right.
