The Royal Hunt of the Sun (1969)

Alexander Davion: De Nizza

Quotes 

• De Nizza : Look around you! Happiness has no feel for men here, since they are forbidden unhappiness. They have everything in common, so they have nothing to give each other. They're part of the seasons, no more. As indistinguishable as mules, as predictable as trees.

  [louder, to Atahualpa] 

  De Nizza : All men are born unequal, and want is their birthright! Atahualpa, I will not rest until I have brought you to the true God.

  Atahualpa : NO!

  [stands] 

  Atahualpa : Is not true! Where is he?

  [He goes to the window and looks up at the sky] 

  Atahualpa : There is my Father. Sun. You see now only by his wish. Look into him; he will darken your eyes forever. Do not speak to me again of your god. He is nowhere.

  [De Nizza leaves, infuriated] 

  Francisco Pizarro : M'lord, you shouldn't anger our holy men. You promised me you wouldn't.

  Atahualpa : They are fools.

  Francisco Pizarro : No, they're not fools.

  Atahualpa : You believe them?

  [Pizarro averts his gaze] 

  Atahualpa : Look into me.

  [Pizarro looks up] 

  Atahualpa : You do not believe them.

  Francisco Pizarro : You shouldn't say that to me...

  Atahualpa : You do not believe them. Their god is not in your face.
