Mervyn Smith: Dorus

Quotes 

• Dorus : [a young man pours water from it into a small bowl the Priest of Apollo holds]  Worshippers of Apollo, you have come to this temple on this day of cleansing to be purified for past misdeeds. This blessing is of no worth if you leave here and once again soil your souls with willful and selfish acts, but if you truly desire to make a new start, the blessed Urn of Apollo will anoint you with the purity of hope. Please come forward...

  [a man and woman step before him and kneel. He touches the water and rubs a small circle on their foreheads] 

  Dorus : You are forgiven for past misdeeds. Now go and do good. You are forgiven for past misdeeds. Now go and do good.

  [They leave and two thugs kneel. Dorus rubs the circle on Micah] 

  Dorus : You are forgiven for past misdeeds. Now go and do good. You are...

  Wayan : [Wayan suddenly draws a dagger and holds it to Dorus' neck]  You pour that stuff on my head and you're a dead man!

  Micah : Hold it right there!

  [he grabs the Urn of Apollo] 

  Dorus : You're stealing the Urn of Apollo!

  Wayan : Very good!

  Micah : And who said priests were dumb?

  Wayan : [smirks]  By the way...

  [he pours water on his hand] 

  Wayan : You're forgiven!

  [he punches Dorus. The thugs laugh and run out of the temple with the Urn of Apollo]
