Kinita Quotes in Guns for San Sebastian (1968)

Kinita: Where are you going?

Leon Alastray: What difference does it make? A man goes from the place he is born to the place he dies.

Kinita: Would you?

Leon Alastray: Would I what?

Kinita: Hear my confession.

Leon Alastray: Sure. If you will hear mine first.

Kinita: I don't understand.

Leon Alastray: I'll make it quick. I am not a priest. If you ever need money, there's a price on my head.

Kinita: No, it's not true.

Leon Alastray: [looks at her as if to decide how to convince her, then grabs her hair and kisses her roughly] That's my confession! You want to tell me yours?

[laughing]

Leon Alastray: [Kinita is crying, and Leon is drunk] I can't stand sniveling - stop your sniveling. I want to tell you something. Have you ever wondered why I stayed here? Was it because of that... that crazy old priest? Was it because of a god I... I don't even BELIEVE in? Was it because... Because for the first time in my life, I... I felt important, and I liked the 'yes, Father'; 'no, Father'; 'God bless you, Father'? Or was it because of you?

[pauses and thinks]

Leon Alastray: I think it was because of you.

Kinita: [realizes he loves her, and lies down beside him]

Leon Alastray: [caressing and kissing her] It's good to feel like a MAN again!

[becomes more aggressive, then sits up, staring down at her]

Leon Alastray: I've been a priest too long. Get out. Come on, GET OUT!
