- Producer: ...your average beer drinker has the IQ of a performing dog; 10 points less and he'd be a geranium.
- Court Psychologist: Having to act in a passion play on the mountain... don't you ever feel this is ridiculous?
- Daniel: No. The subject is great, though not very original.
- Court Psychologist: Sure. But this part for an actor is somewhat flimsy, wouldn't you say?
- Daniel: I don't know. The part of Jesus is not what I would call flimsy work.
- Court Psychologist: You did come up with the private conservatory. Wouldn't you like to have a bright career and play the major theatres?
- Daniel: I was away awhile. Seems normal to start at the bottom of the ladder.
- Daniel: There's to got to be more to life than just quietly waiting for death. I may be naive but there must be more.
- René: [as Pontius Pilate] Of what are you accused?
- Daniel: [as Jesus] You know that.
- René: You belong to a sect? You are another prophet, is that right?
- Daniel: Is that what you say? Or are you repeating what you've heard?
- René: You have spoken of a kingdom that you wish to establish.
- Daniel: A kingdom which is not of this world.
- René: You mean a sort of Elysium? After death? Have you not preached against Caesar, for the overturning of the Roman order?
- Daniel: No.
- René: So... what is it that you teach to your disciples?
- Daniel: Greater love hath no man than this: to give his life for his friends.
- René: You don't find that a little optimistic as a doctrine? In Rome, you wouldn't have survived a week.
