Rodrigo:

Father, l’ve come 

to ask you to bless me.

Gabriel:   
                   
No.
                   
If you're right,
you'll have God's blessing.
                   
If you're wrong,
my blessing won't mean anything.
                   
If might is right...
                   
...then love has no place
in the world.
                   
It may be so.
                   
But I don't have the strength
to live in a world like that, Rodrigo.
             

                   
I can't bless you.
