A Knight's Tale - The Burden of Beauty and Faith
Old Bishop: [after William rides into the cathedral on a horse to woo Jocelyn]
Does this not shock you, ladies?
Jocelyn:
Certainly, my lord, I just, I only laugh just to keep from weeping.
Old Bishop: [Understandingly]
Beauty is such a curse. Pray your years come swiftly for you, pray your beauty fades that you may better serve God.
Jocelyn:
Oh, and I do, my lord. I pray for it all the time. Why, God, did you curse me with this face?
Old Bishop: [Extends his hand so that she may kiss his ring]
God's will has a purpose, but we may not know it.
Jocelyn: [goes to kiss hand, but instead admires the costly ring on his finger; laughs as the bishop briefly sputters before singing a hymn]
Oh, that is lovely...
