Peter Lavin
- Chantal: [after hearing Kevin Reevey's testimony and being accosted by an angry mob] Didn't you feel anything, listening to that testimony?
- Peter Lavin: Yes, I did! I felt what a martyr I've been all my life. First to those lying little bastards, and now to you.
- Chantal: You feel no guilt? No shame?
- Peter Lavin: Kevin Reevey was a lonely little boy whom I befriended out of the kindness of my heart. I loved him.
- Chantal: You loved him? You call THAT love?
- Peter Lavin: Yes, I do.
- Chantal: No! That is not loving! That is hurting! You have hurt this little boy. I could KILL YOU!
- Chantal: [pause] I am going to ask this only once! Have you ever touched our children?
- Peter Lavin: Why don't you ask them yourself. They're your children.
- Chantal: That's right! They're MY children! They are no longer your children!
- Peter Lavin: I wanted to hold him. His neck looked so soft, so young, and perfect. I was aroused, Father. Alive in my groin. I wanted to feel his warmth and tenderness. I wanted to feel the rush of release.
- Priest in Confessional: Did you touch him?
- Peter Lavin: No.
- Priest in Confessional: Have you had these desires before?
- Peter Lavin: Not for a long time.
- Priest in Confessional: What did you do then, about these desires?
- Peter Lavin: I sinned, Father!
- [after a long row about whether or not Chantal will go back to Newfoundland with her husband]
- Chantal: [curtly] I'm going! Avec ou SANS toi!
- Peter Lavin: Suit yourself.
- Chantal: In good times and in bad. Remember.
