Are you one with Christ, Monsieur Lioncourt?
How 'bout you shut your damn mouth?
Louis...
That's alright, Louis, Madame. The birds speak for him... I came to know Christ in a monastery. I wanted to be a priest. Just like you, Paul.
[Begins to hypnotize Paul] And under the guidance and discipline of the monks who lived there, I came to memorize both testaments, the writings of Assisi, Aquinas, Erasmus, all the saints and scholars. My father, a vulgar man, did not think much of this education. And so he and my brothers conspired to pull me out, lock me away, where, between beatings, starvations and the failure of Christ to intercede the beatings and starvations, I slowly forgot all about the testaments, Assisi, Aquinas, Erasmus, all of it. And so to answer your boring question, there is an ocean between Christ and myself! J'espère que cela satisfera les oiseaux perchés dans la cage de votre esprit!
[Slams the table] Don't do that shit here! Not with my family. You understand?
[Long pause] I am cursed with my father's temper at times. The rudeness is all mine.
That's alright. It's the humidity, it does that sometimes.
