Fear of the Beast Within
Ivy Peterson
It's Hyde, sir. It's a man I know, Mr. Hyde. It's him that's done it and more. More I can't tell you. He ain't a human. He's a beast! And he won't let me go, sir, and I am afraid to run away.

Fear of the Unknown in Human Nature
Ivy Peterson
He ain't a man. He's a devil, he is. Why, he knows what you're thinkin about, he does. Why, if he knows that I've been here today, I don't know what he'll do. It won't be nothin human, I can tell you!

Divine Interest in Human Struggles
The Dauphin
The truth is Joan, I'm not the sort of person God will be very likely to be interested in. Truly I'm not. No, I'm no worse than the others here probably, but God bothers very little with any of us, if you should ask me. Now, I've been honest with you; be honest with me. What is it you want? Money? Lands? Presents? I'm a poor man, in spite of being...
Joan of Arc
It is not true that God takes no interest in you. You say that to hide yourself from me, as you hid just now among the women - but God will find you out, and make you king.

Faith as True Strength Against Adversity
Joan of Arc
You see there is no strength in me, and no strength in my hands. There is no strength in any of our hands great enough to win against the English. Our strength is in our faith. And if our faith is eaten away by little things that God hates, then, though there be a million of us, we should be beaten back and die.

A Call to Aid the Dauphin
Joan of Arc
My gentle Dauphin, it is you I seek, for I have come a long way to find you and no other can take your place. God has spoken to me through His messengers, and it is His will that I come to aid you and that you be King of France.

Love and Longing in a Turbulent World
Ilsa Lund
I love you so much. And I hate this war so much. Oh, it's a crazy world. Anything can happen. If you shouldn't get away, I mean, if something should keep us apart, wherever they put you and wherever I'll be, I want you to know that...I Love you. Kiss me as if it were the last time.

Corruption and Governance in Leadership
The Dauphin
A ruler must compromise and bargain with the lowest kind of people, even the enemy. Men are governed by corruption, they like it.
Joan of Arc
Men hate corruption, and God hates it!
The Dauphin
I don't know about God, but men take to it very naturally.

Reflections on Love and Self-Acceptance
Alicia Huberman
I don't know why I should feel so bad. When he told me a few years ago what he was, everything went to pot. I didn't care what happened to me. Now I remember how nice he once was. How nice we both were, very nice. It's a very curious feeling as if something had happened to me and not to him. You see, I don't have to hate him anymore or myself.

Confrontation with a federal agent

Embracing Faith and Nobility in Leadership
The Dauphin
I'm not sure God wants me to be king. Why should God send me help, when I am - what I am?
Joan of Arc
Put aside your doubts and fears, my lord Dauphin. Be noble as I have dreamed you to be - be as God requires you to be.

Faith Over Fear in Joan's Last Moments
Joan of Arc
I have heard my voices again - they told me I did a very wicked thing by denying them, but they have forgiven me. I have faith in them - I have none in you.
Jean le Maistre
This is a fatal answer.
Father Massieu
Joan, do you know what this means? It means the fire - your death.
Joan of Arc
To live without faith is more terrible than the fire, more terrible than dying young. I have nothing more to do here. Send me back to God, from whom I came.

Alicia's Disdain for Deceptive Authority Figures
Alicia Huberman
I hate low, under-handed people like policemen, pussy-footing after you. Of course, I'm a marked woman, you know? I'm liable to blow up the Panama Canal any minute now.

Desire for Independence and Genuine Connection
Alicia Huberman
Go away and leave me alone. I have my own life to lead. Good times. That's what I want, and laughs with people I like. And no underhanded cops who want to put me up in a shooting gallery, but people of my own kind, who treat me right and like me and understand me.

A Conversation on Health and Diagnosis
Dr. Henry Jekyll
Maybe I better send you to the hospital.
Ivy Peterson
No. No, look. Here. Feel! Feel.
Dr. Henry Jekyll
Where? Here? Hmm, just as I thought: Cirrhosis pectoris.
[feels her side]
Ivy Peterson
What's that mean?
Dr. Henry Jekyll
That means your eyes are twin pools of desire.
Ivy Peterson
Oh, doctor. That's nice. The things you do say.

Voices of Guidance and Prophecy
Jean Beaupere
What do your voices tell you?
Joan of Arc
They tell me to answer you boldly.
Jean le Maistre
Did they promise to deliver you?
Joan of Arc
Saint Catherine told me I would be rescued. I do not know whether this means I will be delivered by a French attack upon this city of Rouen, or something else. But I was told I would be freed by a great victory.

Burden of Guilt in Battle
La Hire
Why are you crying?
Joan of Arc
Because they're dead. Horribly dead. And it was I who killed them.
La Hire
Killed who?
Joan of Arc
All these men. Ours, and the enemy's.
La Hire
Huh! Are you crying about the English?
Joan of Arc
I have no hatred for the English. I spoke bold and loud so that you would follow me. I thought victory would be beautiful, but it is an ugly, bloody thing.
La Hire
Why, there never was a more beautiful victory than this!

Victory Through Martyrdom and Death

Warning Against Misjudgment and False Accusations

Self-Pity and the Consequences of Weakness
Ilsa Lund
You want to feel sorry for yourself, don't you? With so much at stake, all you can think of is your own feelings. One woman has hurt you, and you take your revenge on the rest of the world. You're a coward and a weakling.

Memories of Paris and Lost Love
Ilsa Lund
Last night, I saw what has happened to you. The Rick I knew in Paris I could tell him, he'd understand. But the one who looked at me with such hatred - I'll be leaving Casablanca soon and we'll never see each other again. We knew very little about each other when we were in love in Paris. If we leave it that way, maybe we'll remember those days and not Casablanca. Not last night.
