Kingdom of Heaven2005

Bishop, Patriarch of Jerusalem:
My lord, how are we to defend Jerusalem without knights?! We have no knights!

Balian of Ibelin:
Truly? [addresses a servant boy in the crowd] You, what is your condition?

Servant boy:
I am servant to the Patriarch.

Bishop, Patriarch of Jerusalem:
He's one of my servants.

Balian of Ibelin:
Is he? You were born a servant? [the boy nods] Kneel. Every man at arms, or capable of bearing them...Kneel! On your knees! [the crowd of soldiers kneels] Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless. That is your oath. [Balian strikes the servant boy] And that is so you remember it. Rise a knight. Rise a knight!

Bishop, Patriarch of Jerusalem:
Who do you think you are? Will you alter the World? Does making a man a knight make him a better fighter?

Balian of Ibelin:
[pause, turn slowly to face Bishop] Yes.
