Bishop Maigret Quotes:

  • Bishop Maigret: Gentlemen, let us at least agree it is a scurge, and those who have it must be isolated. While I am prime minister we will not fail to do this, or Hawaii will become a nation of lepers.

    Bishop Maigret: But as long as you isolate them and keep them in a place where they have no relatives, a place which it turned into a living hell, with no law...

    Walter Murray Gibson: That is why I have to called you together. We cannot send police to their island. I tried. They resign. Fear of disease, they can't take their families, it's hopeless. They won't go. They won't do it.

    Bishop Maigret: Then the natives will continue to hide their sick. And I for one don't blame them.

  • Father Leonor Fouesnel: [refering to a letter in his hand] Your Grace... this is outrageous. He's now demanding timber and nails. He says that he's not going to sleep under a roof until there is adequate cover for all the patients.

    Bishop Maigret: There's another article about him in the paper today. The prime minister calls him a Christian hero.

    [reads from paper]

    Bishop Maigret: "A healthy young man who has sacrificed himself for the dying inhabitants of Molokai." Does he speak of returning?

    Father Leonor Fouesnel: Oh no, on the contrary.

    [read from the letter in his hand]

    Father Leonor Fouesnel: "This settlement needs a resident priest. Many are dying. I want to stay."
