Authority and Conflict in Religious Duty
Father Sandor I will bury her. Now do as I say.
[after stopping a mob, led by a local priest, from driving a stake into the body of a girl who has died of natural causes. He orders the body be brought to a churchyard]
Father Sandor Do as I say!
Priest You're out of your jurisdiction! I'll complain to the bishop!
Father Sandor Do... and tell him that I stopped you from performing an act of blasphemy! Or would you prefer that I told him?
Priest Well... We have to be sure.
Father Sandor You are an idiot, Father. Worse than that: you're a superstitious, frightened idiot.
Priest We...
Father Sandor Take care that I do not have cause to ride this way again!

Misunderstandings of Desire and Identity
John Campbell, Duke of Argyll So, Mr. Cunningham, what are these principal sins that distress your mother? Dice? Drink? Or are you a buggerer of boys?
Archibald Cunningham It is years, Your Grace, since I buggered a boy, and in my own defense I must add I thought him a girl at the moment of entry.
Argyll Do you hear that, Will? Young Cunningham here was unable to tell arse from quim. What say you to that?
[laughs]
Will Guthrie I've heard that many Englishmen have that same difficulty.
Loyalty Amidst Political Intrigue
Mary MacGregor Your Grace, Robert finds himself in this position for taking Your Grace's part.
John Campbell, Duke of Argyll My part? What cause had he to do that? And in what manner?
Mary He refused to bear false witness against you, when the Marquis asked him to say that you were a Jacobite, to slander your name at court.
Argyll Montrose asked this of him?
Mary In remission of this debt. But Robert refused.
Argyll I did not know your husband bore me such goodwill.
Mary Indeed, Your Grace, I think he favors you no more than any other great man. "As wolves at lambing," that is his word for you all. Robert refused, not for Your Grace, but for his own honor, which he values above his own family, his kin and his clan, and for which I have oft chided him. But were he otherwise, he would not be Robert Roy MacGregor. Robert would not approve of my coming here to ask you for help, nor come himself if he were here. But I have no choice, unless I give him up entire to his enemies. And though I love his honor, it is but a moon-cast shadow to the love I bear him. By the grace of God, I have his child inside me and I will have a father for it.

Argyll You do your man no dishonor, Mary. Faith, he is a man much blessed by fortune.

Montrose Oh! And here was me, thinking that was God's gift alone.
Argyll Do not think that all sins go unpaid in this life, Montrose.
Montrose Well, I see one set soon to be paid for.
A Wager Between Rivals
James Graham, Marquis of Montrose Will you not take my odds, Argyll? I give you five on the fop.
John Campbell, Duke of Argyll I will wager you but this: if MacGregor lives, you will acquit him of all he owes you.
Montrose And if he loses?
[laughs]
Argyll I will pay his bill.
Montrose My factor will call upon Your Grace's factor.
A Desperate Warning in the Face of Danger
Father Sandor It's too late. Kent get away from there, it's too late!
Diana Kent Why don't you shoot him?
Father Sandor It would do no good my dear.
