Britannic (2000 TV Movie)
Edward Atterton: Reynolds
Quotes
-
Sara Lewis : Surely you're not saying that God is in favor of war?
Captain Barrett : What do you think, Chaplain? Does God pick sides?
Sara Lewis : Of course He would be on our side, wouldn't He?
Reynolds : With so many men dying on both sides, I wonder if He favors either of us.
Captain Barrett : There's a terrible paradox. War is the perfect expression of free will. Which is, of course, God's gift to us.
Reynolds : And like most of His gifts, it is unappreciated and often misused.
Townsend : As I recall, the Bible is filled with stories of God giving His blessing to men who fight for a just cause.
Doctor Baker : Come now, Townsend. You do not believe all this senseless killing warrants God's approval?
Townsend : Are you saying He does not approve of courage and sacrifice?
Sara Lewis : I assure you, I would be willing to do my bit. I realize that, as a female, my options are limited. I shall have to content myself with being the woman behind the man.
-
Reynolds : I would have killed you an hour ago if I had to.
Vera Campbell : That's the difference between us. I hate you for what you've done, but I can't let you die.
-
Reynolds : Without the support of our women at home I doubt we could win the war. Or even have one.
Sara Lewis : Men start wars. Women clean up afterwards. If things were the other way around, there would be no more wars. I promise you that.
-
Doctor Baker : It's one thing to die for a noble cause. What are we really fighting for? Arabia's oil? Mining rights to Africa?
Reynolds : You mean this war is solely about the division of property?
Captain Barrett : Now that sounds dangerously like socialism. And that's a dish we don't serve at this table.
-
Reynolds : [Pointing a gun at Vera] I'm sorry. I didn't want any of this to happen.
Doctor Baker : Is this what you meant by war being impersonal?
-
Vera Campbell : Are you married?
Reynolds : No, I'm not. But I envy those who are.
