[the priest visits Verdoux in his jail cell, shortly before execution]
Ah, Father. And what can I do for you? Priest:
Nothing, my son. I want to help you, if I can. I've come to ask you to make your peace with God. Henri Verdoux:
I *am* at peace with God. My conflict is with Man. Priest:
Have you no remorse for your sin? Henri Verdoux:
Who knows what sin is? Born as it was from God's fallen angel. Who knows the ultimate destiny it serves? After all, what would you be doing without sin? Priest:
Exactly what I'm doing now, my son: trying to help a lost soul in distress. Priest:
[clanking noises are heard]
They're coming. Let me pray for you. Henri Verdoux:
As you wish. But I don't think these gentlemen want to be kept waiting. Priest:
May the Lord have mercy on your soul. Henri Verdoux:
Why not? After all, it belongs to him
