Manda Vogler:
It's meaningless.

Dr. Vergerus, Minister of Health:
So I can put my mind at ease?

Manda Vogler:
Yes, put your mind at ease. We can demonstrate our incompetence as often as you like.

Dr. Vergerus, Minister of Health:
You seem to regret the fact and wish it were otherwise. But there are no miracles. It's always the props and the patter that must do the work. The clergy's in the same sad boat. God is silent while men babble on.

Manda Vogler:

Dr. Vergerus, Minister of Health:
That's what they all say, "If just once..." For the nonbelievers, but especially for the believers. "If just once..."

Manda Vogler:
If just once... It's true.
