It's not important.Nun-I will decide what's important.Priest-Why do you suspect me? What have I done? Nun-You gave that boy wine, and you let him take the blame. Priest-That's completely untrue.

Nun-He'd protect you.Priest-Why would he do that?Nun-Because you have seduced him.Priest-You're insane. You've got it in your head that I corrupted this child after giving him wine, and nothing I say will change that. Nun-That's right.Priest-But this has nothing to do with the wine. Nun-Not really.
