François Soubirous
- Justin Soubirous: [rushing in from outside and boisterously calling out as he immediately plops down at the table to eat] Father, Son, and Holy Ghost - the one that eats the fastest gets the most!
- Louise Soubirous: Justin! Where did you learn that?
- Marie Soubirous: You'll go to Hell for saying such a thing!
- Justin Soubirous: All I said: 'the one that eats the fastest gets the most.' And it's true.
- Bernadette: Now you've said it again.
- Louise Soubirous: I've seen pigs with better manners and cleaner faces. Get up from that table and go wash yourselves, both of you!
- François Soubirous: Oh, a Mass meeting here, hmm?
- Marie Soubirous: [upon arriving back home after out gathering firewood] Bernadette's all excited because she says she saw a lady at Massabielle - all dressed in white, with golden roses on her feet.
- Louise Soubirous: What on Earth are you talking about?
- Marie Soubirous: That's what she told us.
- Louise Soubirous: [dismissively] Golden roses on her feet.
- Marie Soubirous: She said this lady was standing on a rock and smiled at her. She had a rosary of pearls, and a golden crucifix and a...
- Bernadette: Marie! You told on me, and you said you wouldn't.
- Marie Soubirous: Maman asked me.
- Louise Soubirous: What's this foolishness Marie tells me?
- Bernadette: It's true maman. In the cave of Massabielle I saw a most beautiful lady.
- Louise Soubirous: A lady? What lady?
- Bernadette: I don't know. Suddenly she was there, and then suddenly she disappeared.
- Louise Soubirous: Ah, nonsense.
- Bernadette: Oh no maman, she was there. Her face was so beautiful, just to look at her made me feel...
- Louise Soubirous: Soubirous, you hear what she says?
- François Soubirous: [also dismissively and slightly angry] I heard, and I know why she says it too: she's showing off - makes up a story to feel important. It always starts the same way with fairytales... golden roses on her feet, indeed.
- Bernadette: No papa, I really and truly saw the lady; truly I did.
- François Soubirous: [addressing his neighbor friends in excitement upon having just finally found much needed employment] You must celebrate; you will all stay for dinner.
- [the friends begin to courteously decline]
- François Soubirous: Nonsense, you will dine with us!
- Louise Soubirous: But tonight, Soubirous, I hadn't planned.
- François Soubirous: So, we will change our plan. We have food, I have a position...
- [the friends continue to courteously decline]
- François Soubirous: We accepted your eggs, now you must accept our omelette.
- [they murmur, but he joyously insists]
- François Soubirous: I will not hear another word!
