Quotes

King Baldwin IV: Come forward. I am glad to meet Godfrey's

son. He was one of my greatest teachers. He was there when,
playing with the other boys, my arm was cut. It was he, not
my father's physicians, who noticed that I felt no pain. He
wept when he gave my father the news... that I am a leper.
The Saracens say that this disease is God's vengence against
the vanity of our kingdom. As wretched as I am, these Arabs
believe that the chastisement that awaits me in hell is far
more severe and lasting. If that's true, I call it unfair. Come.
Sit.
[they sit down on opposite sides of a chessboard]
King Baldwin IV: Do you play?
Balian of Ibelin: No.
King Baldwin IV: The whole world is in chess. Any move can
be the death of you. Do anything except remain where you
started, and you can't be sure of your end. Were you sure of
your end once?
Balian of Ibelin: I was.
King Baldwin IV: What was it?
Balian of Ibelin: To be buried a hundred yards from where I
was born.
King Baldwin IV: And now?
Balian of Ibelin: Now I sit in Jerusalem, and look upon a king.
King Baldwin IV: [Baldwin chuckles] When I was sixteen, I won
a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be a
hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty. None of us know
our end, really, or what hand will guide us there. A king may
move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also
move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his
own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by
whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those
who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you
stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to
do thus," or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This
will not suffice. Remember that.
Balian of Ibelin: I will.

Hospitaller: I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I

have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be
called the will of God. Holiness is in right action and courage
on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and
goodness. What God desires is here
[points to head]
Hospitaller: and here
[points to heart]
Hospitaller: and what you decide to do every day, you will be a
good man - or not.

Balian of Ibelin: [Saladin has just offered safe conduct in his

terms] When the Christians captured Jerusalem, they
massacred every Muslim in the city walls...
Saladin: I am not those men. I am Salahudin.

Saladin: Sala-hu-din!

King Baldwin IV: A King may move a man, a father may claim

Saladin: Who defends?

Imad: Balian of Ibelin, the son of Godfrey.
Saladin: Godfrey? Godfrey nearly killed me in the Lebanon.
Truly, I did not know he had a son.
Imad: It was his son at Kerak.
Saladin: The one you let live?
Imad: Yes.
Saladin: Perhaps you should not have.
Imad: Perhaps I should have had a different teacher.

Godfrey of Ibelin: Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth
always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless

Godfrey of Ibelin: [cuffs Balian with the back of his hand] And
that's so you remember it.

English Sergeant: [walking along the waterfront at Messina]

When we took the Holy Land, we took the Saracen trading
ports. The Italian ships carry silks and spices... and pilgrims,
if they have money. And Italy becomes rich, as the Savior
intended.
Balian of Ibelin: [Balian sees a group of men praying on the
beach] Who are those men?
English Sergeant: Muslims. Saracens.
Balian of Ibelin: And they are allowed their prayers?
English Sergeant: If they pay the tax. "Subhana Rabbi'l
Adhim."
[he turns to Balian]
English Sergeant: "Praise be to God. It is proper to praise
him."
Balian of Ibelin: Sounds like our prayers.

Balian of Ibelin: [to the people of Jerusalem] It has fallen to

us, to defend Jerusalem, and we have made our preparations
as well as they can be made. None of us took this city from
Muslims. No Muslim of the great army now coming against
us was born when this city was lost. We fight over an offence
we did not give, against those who were not alive to be
offended. What is Jerusalem? Your holy places lie over the
Jewish temple that the Romans pulled down. The Muslim
places of worship lie over yours. Which is more holy?
[pause]
Balian of Ibelin: The wall? The Mosque? The Sepulchre? Who
has claim? No one has claim.
[raises his voice]
Balian of Ibelin: All have claim!
Bishop, Patriarch of Jerusalem: That is blasphemy!
Almaric: [to the Patriarch] Be quiet.
Balian of Ibelin: We defend this city, not to protect these
stones, but the people living within these walls.

Bishop, Patriarch of Jerusalem: The things that we have left

undone plague us as death comes. That is why to the dying
there is no comfort but the Lord.
King Baldwin IV: Spare me your sermon. Go and prepare your
people for the coronation of my nephew.
Bishop, Patriarch of Jerusalem: Your confession, my lord.
King Baldwin IV: I shall confess to God when I see him... not
to you. Now, leave me.

Hospitaller: One may stare into the light, until one becomes
the light. I've done it many times.
Balian of Ibelin: [throws a rock at a bush that catches fire by
the spark] There's your religion. One spark, a creosote bush.
There's your Moses. I did not hear it speak.
Hospitaller: That does not mean that there is no God. Do you
love her?
Balian of Ibelin: Yes.
Hospitaller: The heart will mend. Your duty is to the people of
the city. I go to pray.
Balian of Ibelin: For what?
Hospitaller: For the strength to endure what is to come.
Balian of Ibelin: And what is to come?
Hospitaller: The reckoning is to come for what was done one
hundred years before. The Muslims will never forget. Nor
should they.
[the Hospitaler slowly walks away as a second bush several
yards from the burning one catches fire. The Hospitaler is
nowhere to be seen in the clear and open desert]

Odo: There's better game now: one God against another. The
pay is proportionate.

Godfrey of Ibelin: Do you know what lies in the Holy Land? A

new world. A man who, in France, had not a house, is, in the
Holy Land, the master of a city. He who was the master of a
city begs in the gutter. There, at the end of the world, you are
not what you were born, but what you have it in yourself to be.
Balian of Ibelin: I have to find forgiveness. That's all I know.
Godfrey of Ibelin: Whatever your position, you are of my
house, and that means you will serve the King of Jerusalem.
Balian of Ibelin: What could a king ask of a man like me?
Godfrey of Ibelin: A better world than has ever been seen. A
kingdom of conscience. A kingdom of heaven. There is peace
between Christian and Muslim. We live together, or between
Saladin and the king, we try. Did you think that lay at the end
of a Crusade?
[Balian shakes his head]
Godfrey of Ibelin: It does. My son, you are all that survives
me. Do not disappoint me.

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.

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

Tiberias: I cannot protect your caravans unless you agree to

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.

Mullah: [the mullah pays a visit to Saladin in his tent after the
battle at Kerak] Why did we retire? Why? God did not favor
them. God alone determines the results of battles.
Saladin: The results of battles ARE determined by God, but
also by preparation, numbers, the absence of disease, and the
availability of water. One cannot maintain a siege with the
enemy behind. How many battles did God win for the
Muslims before I came... that is, before God determined that I
should come?
Mullah: Few enough. That's because we were sinful.
Saladin: It is because you were unprepared.
Mullah: If you think that way, you shall not be king for long.
Saladin: [Saladin rises to his feet] When I'm not king, I quake
for Islam. Thank you for your visit.
[the mullah does not budge; Saladin takes a step forward and
extends his hand]
Saladin: Thank you for your visit.

Mullah: You promised. You promised to return Jerusalem.
Don't forget.
