Quotes 

• Imperius : What do you want?

  Phillipe : I was told to bring you this bird. It's been wounded.

  Imperius : Oh, good shot! Bring it in, we'll dine together.

  Phillipe : We can't eat this bird.

  Imperius : What? Oh God, is it Lent again already?

• Lieutenant : Open this door in the name of His Holiness the Bishop of Aquila.

  Imperius : Be off with you. This is a house of God, not a brothel.

  Lieutenant : I said open this door in the name of His Grace, the Bishop of Aquila.

  Imperius : I've met the bishop, you blasphemous lout. And you look nothing like him.

• Imperius : I fully expect to meet you at the Pearly Gates, little thief, and don't you dare disappoint me.

  Phillipe : I'll meet you there, Father... even if I have to pick the lock.

• City guard : [about to slay Navarre in his wolf form]  I've never had the pleasure of killing a wolf before.

  Imperius : How strange. That's exactly what the Bishop said. I'm sure he'll understand your depriving him of the pleasure. He's a very forgiving sort of man.

• Imperius : Thank you for trying, Phillipe, and standing up for the truth.

  Phillipe : I should have known better; every happy moment in my life has come from lying.

• Phillipe : When you kneel before the altar, how do you get up again?

  Imperius : You sacrilegious young imp.

  [they turn to him] 

  Etienne Navarre : Come here.

  [Philipe and Imperius approach Navarre and Isabeau] 

  Imperius : May God's blessings, be with you both, from this day forward.

  Etienne Navarre : I bless the day that he brought you back to us, father.

  [turns to Phillipe] 

  Etienne Navarre : And you. And you...

  [he kisses Phillipe on the cheek] 

  Isabeau : [kisses Phillipe's cheek]  You're the truest friend we could ever have.

• Imperius : [to city guard]  Wisdom is beyond price, my son. Be grateful that you have it.

• [Repeated line, talking about the bridge across his moat] 

  Imperius : Walk on the *left* side.

• Etienne Navarre : [upon seeing Phillipe's claw marks]  What is that?

  Imperius : That happened last night when he saved he your life.

  Etienne Navarre : [pause, then to Phillipe]  Forgive me.

  [pulls Phillipe to his feet and hugs him] 

  Etienne Navarre : I'll show you idiots how to cage a wolf.

• Imperius : MUST you keep thumping me in the liver?

  Phillipe : Imperius, this hole isn't big enough for the two of us.

  Imperius : Let's just hope it's big enough for the wolf.
