Quotes 

  • Mendoza : Though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned and have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth and love is kind. Love envieth not. Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. But now abideth faith, hope, love... these three. But the greatest of these is love.

  • Mendoza : I want to renounce my vows of obedience.

    Gabriel : Get out.

    Mendoza : I want to explain...

    Gabriel : Get out, Rodrigo. I won't listen to you.

    [pause] 

    Gabriel : Just you?

    Mendoza : No, it's Ralph and John too.

    Gabriel : What do you want captain, an honorable death?

    Mendoza : They want to live, Father. They say that God has left them, He's deserted them. Has He?

    Gabriel : You shouldn't have become a priest.

    Mendoza : But I am a priest, and they need me.

    Gabriel : Then help them as a priest! If you die with blood on your hands, Rodrigo, you betray everything we've done. You promised your life to God. And God is love!

  • Mendoza : Father, I've come to ask you to bless me.

    Gabriel : No. If you're right, you'll have God's blessing. If you're wrong, my blessing won't mean anything.

  • Mendoza : Are you laughing at me?

    Gabriel : I am laughing because what I see is laughable. I see a coward, a man running from the world.

  • Mendoza : For me there is no redemption, no penance great enough.

    Gabriel : There is. But do you dare to try it?

    Mendoza : Do you dare to see it fail?

  • Gabriel : So you're hunting above the falls now, Captain Mendoza?

    [pauses] 

    Gabriel : We're building a mission here. We're going to make Christians of these people!

    Mendoza : If you have the time.

  • Mendoza : For me, there is no redemption.

    Gabriel : God gave us the burden of freedom. You chose your crime. Do you have the courage to choose your penance? Do you dare do that?

  • Mendoza : I'm sorry, I was trained as a mercenary, not as a cook.

  • Cabeza : I cannot and will not accept a challenge from a priest. His cloth protects him.

    Mendoza : My cloth protects *you*!

  • Mendoza : Leave me alone. You know what I am.

    Gabriel : Yes. You are a mercenary. You are a slave trader. And you killed your brother. I know. And you loved him... although you chose a strange way to show it.

  • Gabriel : So, you're hunting above the falls now, Captain Mendoza? We're building a mission here! We're gonna make Christians of these people.

    Mendoza : If you have the time.
