Jeremy Irons nel ruolo di...
Tiberias
- 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...
- 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.
- 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]
- 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.
- 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.
- 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]
- 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.
