That cross you wear around your neck;

Is it only a decoration, or are you a

true Christian believer?



[Francesca]

Yes, I believe - truly.



[Prince Prospero]
Then I want you to remove it at once!

And never to wear it within this castle

again! Do you know how a falcon is trained my

dear? Her eyes are sewn shut. Blinded temporarily

she suffers the whims of her God patiently, until

her will is submerged and she learns to serve -

as your God taught and blinded you with

crosses.



[Francesca]
You had me take off my cross because it

offended?



[Prince Prospero]
It offended no-one. No. It simply appears

to me to be discourteous to - to wear

the symbol of a deity long dead.

My ancestors tried to find it. And to open

the door that separates us from our Creator.



[Francesca]
But you need no doors to find God.

If you believe.



[Prince Prospero]
Believe?! If you believe you are gullible.

Can you look around this world and believe

in the goodness of a god who rules it?

Famine, Pestilence, War, Disease and Death!

They rule this world.



[Francesca]
There is also love and life and hope.



[Prince Prospero]
Very little hope I assure you. No. If a god

of love and life ever did exist. He is long

since dead. Someone, something rules
in his place.
