St.Joan of Arc: [to Cauchon] But what happened to thee? Art thou dead or alive?
Cauchon: Dead. Dishonoured. They pursued me beyond the grave. They excommunicated my dead body; they dug it up and flung it into the sewer.

Dunois, Bastard of Orleans: Do you expect people to love you for showing them up?
|
The Dauphin, Charles VII: You will pretend to be me.
Gilles de Rais: [to a fellow cardplayer] Pretend to be that thing. Holy Michael!
|
Archbishop of Rheims: An event that creates faith does not deceive. Therefore it is not a fraud, but a miracle.
|
St.Joan of Arc: O God who made this beautiful earth, when will it be ready to receive your saints? How long, o Lord? How long?
|
[about her voices]
St.Joan of Arc: They come from God.
Robert de Baudricourt: They come from your imagination.
St.Joan of Arc: Of course. That is how the messages of God come to us, through our imagination.

Warwick: What would you say if the Pope found her innocent?
John de Stogumber: He's a foreigner, too, my lord. And in England...
Warwick: You do not consider him to be infallible.
John de Stogumber: Of course, my lord. In faith and in morals...
Warwick: But this is politics.
|
The Dauphin, Charles VII: Now, what's the good of sitting on the throne, when the other fellows are giving all the orders?
|
St.Joan of Arc: Shall I arise from the dead and come back to you, a living woman?
Warwick: Rome made you a saint, we had no hand in the business. Let Rome decide.
Cauchon: Stay where you are, woman. A dead saint is always safer for the Church than a living one...

The Dauphin, Charles VII: [after he is anointed and crowned in Rheims Cathedral] That holy oil Joan talked about is rancid.
Archbishop of Rheims: Your Majesty, that oil is nearly a thousand years old. It was brought by an angel to King Clovis.
The Dauphin, Charles VII: Well, no doubt it was fresher then.

St.Joan of Arc: Be you a saint?
English Soldier: Yes, lady, straight from hell.
Dunois, Bastard of Orleans: A saint, and from hell!
English Soldier: Yes, noble captain, I have a day off. Every year, you know. That's my allowance for my one good action.
Cauchon: Wretch! In all the years of your life did you do only one good action?
English Soldier: I never thought about it: it came natural like. But they scored it up for me.
The Dauphin, Charles VII: What was it?
English Soldier: Why, the silliest thing you ever heard of. I...
St.Joan of Arc: He tied two sticks together, and gave them to a poor lass that was going to be burned.

The Dauphin, Charles VII: It's always you good men who do the big mischiefs.
|
The Dauphin, Charles VII: The moment comes when the soldier must give way to the statesman.
|
John de Stogumber: Some of the people laughed at her. They would have laughed at Christ.
|
John de Stogumber: I didn't know what I was doing. I am a hotheaded fool, and I shall be damned to eternity for it.
|
De Courcelles: Were you in a state of grace when you stole the Bishop's horse?
Cauchon: The devil take the Bishop's horse.
|
St.Joan of Arc: Are you the Bastard?
Dunois, Bastard of Orleans: Are you the Maid?
