I should probably warn ya: you make friends with us, you make enemies with everyone else.

I’m not sure what the theme of my homily today ought to be. Do I want to speak of the miracle of Our Lord’s divine transformation? Not really, no. I don’t want to talk about His divinity. I’d rather talk about His humanity. I mean, you know, how He lived His life, here on Earth. His *kindness*, His *tolerance*… Listen, here’s what I think. I think that we can’t go around… measuring our goodness by what we don’t do. By what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude. I think… we’ve got to measure goodness by what we *embrace*, what we create… and who we include.
– Père Henri

– Roux

– Yvette Marceau
Well, you’ve obviously never tried these.
– Vianne Rocher

– Luc Clairmont
The invitation said five o’clock.
– Armande Voizin
I should have read it more closely.
– Luc Clairmont
If you had, you would know there were supposed to be no gifts.
– Armande Voizin
Don’t worry so much about supposed to.
– Luc Clairmont

What do you see in it?
– Vianne Rocher
Not a damned thing.
– Armande Voizin
Come on, it’s a game. What do you see?
– Vianne Rocher
I see a cranky old woman too tired to play games.
– Armande Voizin
Hmm. I’ve got just the thing for you.
– Vianne Rocher

I heard she was some kind of radical.
– Francoise ‘Fuffi’ Drou
