Bishop Maigret
- Bishop Maigret: Gentlemen, let us at least agree it is a scourge, and those who have it must be isolated. While I am prime minister we will not fail to do this, or Hawaii will become a nation of lepers.
- Bishop Maigret: But as long as you isolate them and keep them in a place where they have no relatives, a place which it turned into a living hell, with no law...
- Walter Murray Gibson: That is why I have to called you together. We cannot send police to their island. I tried. They resign. Fear of disease, they can't take their families, it's hopeless. They won't go. They won't do it.
- Bishop Maigret: Then the natives will continue to hide their sick. And I for one don't blame them.
- Father Leonor Fouesnel: [refering to a letter in his hand] Your Grace... this is outrageous. He's now demanding timber and nails. He says that he's not going to sleep under a roof until there is adequate cover for all the patients.
- Bishop Maigret: There's another article about him in the paper today. The prime minister calls him a Christian hero.
- [reads from paper]
- Bishop Maigret: "A healthy young man who has sacrificed himself for the dying inhabitants of Molokai." Does he speak of returning?
- Father Leonor Fouesnel: Oh no, on the contrary.
- [read from the letter in his hand]
- Father Leonor Fouesnel: "This settlement needs a resident priest. Many are dying. I want to stay."
