Claude : I'm sorry. You may not come onto holy ground. You've not been purified. I was once a lost and evil man, blind-hearted and sinful. Miranda, here, can tell you that. But then the sword of the blessed sun slew the black beast of the flesh, and I was purified at last.
Lew Harper : Can't I just look around?
Claude : You'll be risking the wrath of the sun god.
Lew Harper : I'm lionhearted.

Claude : [as Harper is checking out the "Temple in the Clouds"] I know you think me a charlatan. I can only say that if you were correct, then death could not claim me too quickly. You obviously have some strong connection with the Sampsons. Don't deride me to them, I beg you. The gift of this temple was the beginning of my life. I know to you I look ridiculous, but I only want to increase the amount of love in this world. Where is the harm?
Lew Harper : Nowhere.

Claude : Is there no end to your sacrilege?

Claude : Whoever comes to the Temple of the Clouds may be sure of some warm beans and a bed.
-
Claude : Walk with love.
Lew Harper : I'll try.
