Goya's Ghosts evaluation action
-
Hooded Monk: Are you prepared to swear on the holy cross that you're telling the truth?
Inés: About the pork?
-
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.
