Dark Confessions (1998)

Andrew McIlroy: Brother Benedict

Quotes 

• Sofia : [to robed monk-like man]  Good evening, Brother Benedict.

  Brother Benedict : Madame Sofia. Always a joy. I trust the journey wasn't too tiring for you and your girls.

  [kneels down, beckons the first prospect:] 

  Brother Benedict : Come closer, my dear.

  [blonde girl in short dress approaches gingerly] 

  Brother Benedict : There is no need to be shy.

  Sofia : This is Illona.

  [to the girl:] 

  Sofia : Undo your top.

  Brother Benedict : [as Sofia parades Illona]  You of course realize that for my very best clients, I require girls of that height and caliber.

  Sofia : [as Illona walks on]  Veronica!

  [brunette girl approaches, gets twirled] 

  Brother Benedict : Ah, yes, I'm sure we'll find something for you.

  [lean, slender Veronica turns around to show herself off] 

  Sofia : [hands gliding over lingerie-clad flesh]  Veronica has been with us for just a month.

  Brother Benedict : [with suppressed laughter in his voice]  And she really wants to travel.

  [Sofia strips off the girl's top] 

  Sofia : [calls the next girl]  Svetlana!

  [another blonde girl steps forward, gets her dress pulled down, and then Sofia plays with her long golden spun-silk hair] 

  Brother Benedict : [as he views naked upper body]  Tall. Nice, sturdy.

  [the beauty twirls around] 

  Brother Benedict : Don't worry, dear, I'll find something for you.

  [gleefully:] 

  Brother Benedict : Yeah. You'll get a lot of money. Next!

  Sofia : Gabriella!

  [another girl steps forward, gets her dress pulled down, bare breasts on show, then the dress goes down to her ankles] 

  Brother Benedict : So... you want to travel. Well, that could be arranged for you... and your beautiful friends.

  Brother Benedict : [Gariella saunters off, and another blonde girl steps forward, obligingly raising her arms above her head to better facilitate her inspection]  Ah! And what's her name?

  Sofia : [pulls the girl's dress up to expose black G-sring]  Monica. Also from Kiev

  [caresses naked breasts] 

  Sofia : .

  Brother Benedict : [the shyly evasive girl is the last of the lot, she readies herself as Monica traipses away]  And by no means least...

  [Sofia again does the honors] 

  Brother Benedict : Ah, yes. Very interesting.

  Sofia : [as the girl turns herself around, her hands in front of her white panty]  Adrianna has just joined us.

  Brother Benedict : I see. Adrianna, yes.

  [stands up] 

  Brother Benedict : *You* come with me. Tomorrow night you will be introduced to some wonderful clients of mine.

  [this blonde girl's leather collar gets removed] 

  Brother Benedict : An *excellent* opportunity for you.

  [Adrianna follows lead as directed] 

  Brother Benedict : Sofia, of course you'll stay for tomorrow night's presentation.

  Sofia : Yes. I'll need a replacement.

  Brother Benedict : *Excellent!* It's been a pleasure as always. Until tomorrow.

  [Sofia nods, smiling] 

  Brother Benedict : Have a good evening.

  [walks back to where his chosen entertainment awaits] 

• Brother Benedict : Monsieurs et madames, ladies and gemtlemen, good evening, we are about to begin. All lots in question this evening, a one-year employment contract with the usual overhead costs, fees, and... bonuses to be paid directly to the employee of your sole discretion. Tonight, the reserve bid for all lots in question is...

  [unveils easel with blackboard, reserve bid chalk-written in sterling pound and francs as well] 

  Brother Benedict : twenty-five thousand dollars.

  [first girl enters] 

  Brother Benedict : I draw your attention now to lot number one...

  [says her name with reverence:] 

  Brother Benedict : Eve.

  [the hooded, white-robed girl steps forward and mounts the podium, pulls back her hood, and flips back her long brown hair] 

  Brother Benedict : And if I may ask you to consider your opening bid for lot number one...

  [Eve slips down her robe, displaying bare breasts] 

  Brother Benedict : Thank you. I have an opening bid of twenty-eight thousand dollars. Do I have -? Thank you, sir, twenty-nine thousand dollars.

  [Eve lets her robe slide to the floor] 

  Brother Benedict : Senora? Ah! Thirty thousand dollars.

  [Eve walks the ramp only in silvery-white high-heel court shoes] 

  Brother Benedict : Do I have thirty-one thousand dollars? Thank you, thirty-two. Thirty-three thousand dollars, thank you, thirty-four thousand dollars. Going once, going twice, no, thirty-five thousand dollars, thank you, and... for thirty-five thousand dollars, going once, going twice...

  [Eve turns around on the runway] 

  Brother Benedict : Sold for thirty-five thousand dollars!

  [auctioneer's hammer comes down] 

  Brother Benedict : Congratulations, madam.

• Brother Benedict : And now, ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration, from St. Petersburg, Anastasia.

  [the white-robed young girl mounts the stage] 

  Brother Benedict : Ah. And what's my opening bid?

  [she lowers her hood] 

  Brother Benedict : Thank you. Twenty-nine thousand dollars.

  [she starts disrobing] 

  Brother Benedict : Thirty thousand dollars.

  [the robe falls down, Anastasia is fully nude] 

  Brother Benedict : Thirty-one thousand dollars. Thirty-three thousand dollars. Thirty-four thousand dollars.

  [Anastasia walks the ramp, smiling nervously at the clientele] 

  Brother Benedict : Thirty-four, thirty-five thousand dollars. Thirty-six thousand dollars, thank you. Thirty-six thousand dollars, do I hear thirty-eight?

  [Anastasia turns around, showing herself off] 

  Brother Benedict : Thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, going, going, yes, thirty-eight thousand dollars! Going, going, gone!

  [gavel comes down, and Anastasia steps off the podium] 

• Brother Benedict : Thirty-one thousand dollars. And thirty-two thousand dollars for lot number twelve, Suzanna!

  [naked girl parades down the ramp] 

  Brother Benedict : Yes, thank you! Thirty-two thousand dollars. And thirty-two thousand dollars, thirty-three, thank you very much. And thirty-four thousand dollars, do I hear thirty-five thousand dollars? Yes, thank you very much... right, thirty-five thousand dollars. Do I hear thirty-six thousand dollars? Yes, thank you... thirty-seven, thank you, thirty-eight thousand dollars, thank you, sir. And, ah, yes, madam, thirty-nine thousand dollars for Suzanna. Do I hear forty thousand dollars?

  [Suzanna bends to pick up her robe] 

  Brother Benedict : Yes! At! Going, going, gone!

  [gavel comes down] 

  Brother Benedict : For forty thousand dollars, sold...

  [to the blonde girl:] 

  Brother Benedict : Thank you, Suzanna.

  Suzanna : [stepping off the podium, looking back]  Hmm.
