Quotes 

• [Bonaparte and Lorenzo are looking at paintings of Maria Luisa] 

  Joseph Bonaparte : I met her once... don't recall her being quite so ugly though. How did she have so many lovers?

  Brother Lorenzo : [smiling]  She was the Queen, Your Majesty.

• Brother Lorenzo : There will be no liberty for the enemies of liberty!

• Tomás Bilbatúa : Forgive me, Father Lorenzo, but um, have you ever been put to the... to the Question, yourself?

  Brother Lorenzo : Have I ever been?

  Tomás Bilbatúa : Yes. Have you ever been subjected to the Question?

  Brother Lorenzo : Of course not.

  Tomás Bilbatúa : Do you think that if you were, and they asked you to confess something grotesquely absurd... say... say you were told to confess that you're really a monkey.

  [laughter around the table] 

  Tomás Bilbatúa : You're sure that god would grant you the fortitude to deny it? Or would you rather confess to being a monkey? To avoid the pain.

  Goya : I know I would.

  Tomás Bilbatúa : I know you would. So would I.

  Tomás Bilbatúa : [to Lorenzo]  Would you?

  Goya : What is this Tomás, are you playing some sort of silly game with you guest? Nobody would ever ask Father Lorenzo to confess something so absurd.

  Tomás Bilbatúa : I would.

  [leaves the table] 

• Goya : Where is Ines?

  Brother Lorenzo : She is in very good hands?

  Goya : [going after Lorenzo with rage]  Tell me where she is!
