Thank you

You have the makings of a soldier in you. You are in love with war
0:40
Oh. The archbishop said I was in love with religion. Ay, God forgive me. I'm a little in love with war myself, the ugly devil
0:50
I'm like a man with two wives. Do you want to be like a woman with two husbands
0:54
I will never take a husband. A man in tool took action against me for breach of promise
1:00
but I never promised him. I am a soldier. I dream of leading a charge into placing the big guns
1:08
You soldiers do not know how to use the big guns. You think you can win battles with a great noise and smoke? True
1:14
Half the time the artillery is more trouble than it's worth. My lad, but you cannot fight stony walls with horses
1:20
You must have cannons, and much bigger cannons, too. Ay lass what a good heart and a stout ladder will get over the stoniest wall I will be the first up the ladder when we reach the fort I dare you to follow me
1:34
You mustn't dare a staff officer, Joan. Only officers are allowed to indulge in displays of personal courage
1:41
Besides, you must know I welcome you as a saint, not as a soldier
1:46
I have daredevils enough at my call. I am not a daredevil. I am a servant of God
1:52
She is a heretic. What difference does that make? You, a priest, ask me that
2:00
You English are strangely blunt in the mind. Well, well, I wipe the slate as far as the witchcraft goes
2:10
Nonetheless, we must still burn the woman. No, I cannot burn her
2:16
The church cannot take life, and it is my first duty to seek this woman's salvation. Salvation
2:21
No doubt. But you do burn people occasionally. No. No. When the church cuts off an obstinate heretic
2:31
like a dead branch from the tree of life, the heretic is handed over to the secular arm
2:36
The church has no part in what the secular arm may see fit to do. Precisely. Precisely
2:42
And I shall be the secular arm in this case, my lord
2:46
No, hand over your dead branch. And I will have the fire ready for it
2:51
If you will answer for the church's part, I will answer for the secular part
