  • (Estete) "Perverse man, what is Atahualpa to you?"
  • (Robert Shaw) "Someone I promised life."
  • (Estete) "Promised life. How quaint. The sort of chivalrous idea that you pretend to despise. If you want to be an absolute king, my man, you have to learn how to act out of self-will. Break your word, just because you made it. 'Til then, you're nothing but a -- a pig-man trying to copy his betters."
  • (Valverde) "My son, listen to me. No promise to a Pagan need bind a Christian. Simply think what's at stake. The lives of one hundred and sixty-seven of the faithful. Are you willing to sacrifice them for one savage?"
  • (Robert Shaw) "You know lives have no weight. Ten cannot be added up to outbalance one."
  • (Valverde) "Ten good can against one evil, and this man is evil. His people kiss his hands as the source of life."
  • (Robert Shaw) "As we do yours. All day you play at being God. You only hate my Inca because he does it better. I despise you. 'Kill who I bid you kill, and I will pardon it'? You with your milky fingers, forcing in the blade? How dare you priests bless a man going into battle? 'Rip.' you scream. 'Tear, blind, in the name of Christ.' Tell me, soft Father; if Christ were here, would He kill the Inca?"
  • (Robert Shaw) "Father, I do not know love. But if I have none for Atahualpa, what can I ever know of it?"
  • (King Carlos) "Your capacity for survival is not in question. But you are a dreamer. If you would accomplish something, my loyal subject, you must be something."
  • (Robert Shaw) "Your Majesty, your court is filled with cold, precise, perfect men. They're all something. But they dare not dream for fear of making a mistake, so they do nothing. What I ask you, Your Majesty, is how long can Spain endure doing nothing?"

  • (Valverde) "He is a spirit inside us."
  • (Villac Umu) "Your god is inside you? How can this be?"

  • (Robert Shaw) "That's not possible."
  • (Christopher Plummer) "All my people know it. Is why they let me stay with you."

  • (Christopher Plummer) "I am Atahualpa Capac. Son of the Sun. Son of the Moon. Lord of the Four Quarters. Why you not kneel?"
  • (De Nizza) "Look around you. Happiness has no feel for men here, since they are forbidden unhappiness. They have everything in common, so they have nothing to give each other. They're part of the seasons, no more. As indistinguishable as mules, as predictable as trees."
  • (De Nizza) "All men are born unequal, and want is their birthright. Atahualpa, I will not rest until I have brought you to the true God."
  • (Christopher Plummer) "NO."
  • (Christopher Plummer) "Is not true. Where is he?"
  • (Christopher Plummer) "There is my Father. Sun. You see now only by his wish. Look into him; he will darken your eyes forever. Do not speak to me again of your god. He is nowhere."
