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!
