  • (Eric Idle) "Does the Trinity make any sense to you?"
  • (Robbie Coltrane) "Oh, no. No, it makes no sense to anyone. That's why you have to believe it. That's why you have to have faith. If it made sense, it wouldn't have to be a religion, would it?"

  • (Robbie Coltrane) "Hmmm -- well, it's a bit of a bugger."
  • (Eric Idle) "I thought you were supposed to be eating fish on a Friday."

Tom Hickey as Father Seamus

  • (Tom Hickey) "Tell me. Is celibacy just as difficult for a woman as it is for a man?"
  • (Robbie Coltrane) "I wouldn't know -- I must come clean, though, I, I had a man in my bed last night. All night. You see, the way I see it, sex is allowed."
  • (Tom Hickey) "Ah, ha -- ha."
  • (Robbie Coltrane) "No. No, it's the doctrine of original sin. You see, we're all born sinful, except for Jesus who was perfect of course. And he was sent to save us. But how could he save us unless we're sinning? So we have to go on sinning in order to be saved and go to Heaven. That's how Christianity works. That's why it suits so many people."
