Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha:
You're the alter boy, from Wadowice.
Karol Wojty?a:
Yes. Karol Wojty?a, excellency.
Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha:
I remember. You wanted to be an actor.
Karol Wojty?a:
Yes, excellency.
Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha:
And now?
Karol Wojty?a:
And now a great evil has occupied our country. They treat us like animals, they murder Jews, they... [noticing a German soldier. Quietly] They shoot children.
Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha:
Do not fear the men who can kill your body. Fear him who can destroy your soul. This is what our Lord tells us.
Karol Wojty?a:
[short pause] I don't know what to think anymore.
Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha:
Wisdom is a grace we must seek from God.
Karol Wojty?a:
How can we fight them?
Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha:
Violence only leads to more violence. If you must choose a weapon, choose the one they fear the most.
Karol Wojty?a:
Our faith?
Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha:
Yes, our faith, and our intelligence. [points to Karol's forehead] Our fine minds.
Karol Wojty?a:
[smiles] Yes. Yes. Thank you, excellency. [kisses Sapieha's hand and walks away]
Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha:
Wojty?a? [Karol turns] Caution.
