"Lucas: I can tell you something about this place. The boys around here call it "The Black Lagoon" - a paradise. Only they say nobody has ever come back to prove it."

"Narrator: In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the Earth was without form and void. This the planet Earth, newly born and and cooling rapidly from a temperature 6,000 degrees to a few hundred in less than 5 billion years. Heat rises, meets the atmosphere, the clouds form, and rain pours down upon the hardening surface for countless centuries. The restless seas rise, find boundaries, are contained. Now, in their warm depths, the miracle of life begins. In infinite variety, living things appear, and change, and reach the land, leaving a record of their coming, of their struggle to survive, and of their eventual end."

"We didn't come here to fight with monsters. We're not equipped for it. We came here to find fossils."

"What do you want meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning. Desire is the theme of all life! It makes a rose want to be a rose and want to grow like that. And a rock want to contain itself and remain like that."

"The masterpiece of laughter and tears from the master of comedy!"

"It will move you to love, laughter and tears."

"As a man gets on in years he wants to live deeply. A feeling of sad dignity comes upon him, and that's fatal for a comic. It affected my work. I lost contact with the audience, couldn't warm up to them."

"I'm through clowning. Life isn't a gag anymore. I can't see the joke. From now on, I'm a retired humorist."

"Time is the great author. Always writes the perfect ending."

"Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it. All it needs is courage, imagination... and a little dough."

"That's all any of us are: amateurs. We don't live long enough to be anything else."

"There's something about working the streets I like. It's the tramp in me I suppose."

"The dawn, lady. Excuse me, I've got a pressing appointment—down below."

"Fair is fair. Burn her is ya want to, but there's no call to being unkind."

"A dead saint is always better for the Church than a live one."

"Do you expect people to love you for showing them up? Do archbishops enjoy being played off their own alters, even by saints?"

"I'll read it for you if you like. I can read, you know."

"I wanna hear no more of my grandfather. As he was so wise, he used up the whole family stock of wisdom for five generations and left me the poor fool I am."

"Oh God, who made this beautiful Earth, when will it be ready to receive your saints? How long, oh Lord? How long?"

""Perpetual imprisonment"! Am I not then to be set free? … [tears up her signed confession] Light your fire. Do you think I would dread it as much as life as a rat in a hole? My voices were right. Yes, they told me you were fools, and that I was not to listen to your fine words, nor trust to your charity. You promised me my life, but you lied! You think life is nothing but not being stone dead. It is not the bread and water I fear; I can live on bread, but if I ask for more, bread has no sorrow for me, water no affliction. But, to shut me from the light of the sky, and the sight of the fields and flowers, to chain my feet so that I can never again ride with the soldiers, nor climb the hills, to make me breathe foul, damp darkness and keep me from everything that brings me back to the love of God, when your wickedness and foolishness tempted me to hate him! [cries] I could do without my warhorse, I could drag about in a skirt, I could let the trumpets and the banners and the knights and the soldiers pass me and leave me behind as they leave the other women, if only I could still hear the wind in the trees, the locks in the sunshine, the young lambs crying through the frost, and the blessed church bells that send my voices to me on the wind. But without these things, I cannot live! And by your wanting to take them from me, or from any human creature, I know that your council is of the devil, and that mine is of God! [audience jeers]"

"What other judgement can I judge by but my own?"

"I cannot bear to be hurt, and if you hurt me, I will say anything you like to stop the pain, but I will take it all back afterwards."

"You will all be glad to see me burned. But if I go through the fire, I shall go through it to their hearts, forever and ever, and so God be with me."

"There's no help, no council in any of you. I thought I would have friends in the court of France, and I find only wolves fighting for pieces of her poor, torn body. I believed that you, who now cast me out, would be like strong towers to keep harm from me. But I am wiser now, and nobody is any the worse for being the wiser."

"Show me the way to the bridge; I shall be the first to cross it. I dare you to follow me."

"I can turn you into a king, and that is a miracle that'll take some doing, it seems."
