Quotes 

• Tiberias : But Saladin and the king between them would make a better world.

  Hospitaller : If it lives only for a while, Tiberias, it still has lived.

• Tiberias : That I would rather live with men than kill them is certainly why you are alive.

  Guy de Lusignan : [Chuckles]  That sort of Christianity has its uses, I suppose...

• Tiberias : There is a rumour. We must condemn it immediately.

  Sybilla : Call it treason. And kill those who whisper it.

  Tiberias : The rumour will die if we show the boy as active...

  Sybilla : [bursts out]  How long before he wears a mask? Will you have one made for him? How did my boy deserve it? Jerusalem is dead, Tiberias. No kingdom is worth my son alive in hell. I will go to hell instead.

  [Tiberias steps forth and hugs Sibylla] 

• Reynald de Chatillon : [at a hearing in Tiberias' chambers]  Who says I raid?

  Tiberias : That witness... all of Jerusalem... Holy God... and me.

  Reynald de Chatillon : That "witness," if you call him that, is a Saracen. He lies.

  Tiberias : There will come a day, Reynald de Chatillon, when you are not protected by your title.

  Reynald de Chatillon : Oh? When will that be? Alert me, Tiberias, when men are equal and the Kingdom of Heaven has arrived.

  Tiberias : Those Templars have been hung for a raid that I KNOW you commanded!

  Reynald de Chatillon : Prove it. I will wait at Kerak until you do.

  Tiberias : The king will take your castle of Kerak, Reynald.

  Reynald de Chatillon : Try to take it, Tiberias. I'll be there.

  [he walks out with a dirty look at the Saracen witness] 

  Muslim Grandee : [in Arabic]  You're letting him go? Why are you letting him go?

  Tiberias : I cannot protect your caravans unless you agree to be escorted by our soldiers.

  Muslim Grandee : [in English]  I trade to make money, not to offend God by associating with Christians.

  Tiberias : [hefting a sack of money]  But you will take Christian gold.

  Muslim Grandee : Gold is gold.

  [Tiberias tosses it to him] 

  Tiberias : Of course.

• King Baldwin IV : Saladin has crossed the Jordan with 200,000 men.

  Tiberias : He will make first for Kerak and Reynald de Chatillon.

  Tiberias : [tries to help the King stand up]  My lord.

  King Baldwin IV : [rejects the help and stands up by himself]  We must meet him before he reaches Kerak. I will lead the army.

  Tiberias : My lord, if you travel, you'll die.

  King Baldwin IV : Send word to Balian to protect the villagers.

  King Baldwin IV : Assemble the army.

  [the Templars cheer] 

• Tiberias : [to Balian]  May God be with you, he's no longer with me.

• Guy de Lusignan : [about Sibylla]  My wife does not lament my absences. And is either the best of wives... or the very, very worst.

  [leaves] 

  Tiberias : [to Sibylla as a toast]  To the very best of wives.

• Tiberias : I have given Jerusalem my whole life. First, I thought we were fighting for God. Then I realized we were fighting for wealth and land. I was ashamed.

• Tiberias : [to Balian]  You're your father's son. He was my friend. I'm yours.

• Reynald : Who says I raid?

  Tiberias : That witness, all of Jerusalem, Holy God! - and me.

• Templar Master : We should meet the enemies of God!

  Guy de Lusignan : And so we shall.

  Tiberias : Then you do so without my knights.

  Guy de Lusignan : Then I will have the glory, Tiberias. You had yours, years ago. It's time for mine.

• Tiberias : There will be a day, Reynald de Chatillon, when you will no longer be protected by your title.

  Reynald : Oh? And when will that be?
