Phaedra's Love - Scene Six

Priest God is merciful. He chose you.

Hippolytus Bad choice.

Priest Pray with me. Save yourself. And your country. Don't commit that sin.

Hippolytus What bothers you more, the destruction of my soul or the end of my family? I'm not in danger of committing the unforgivable sin. I already have.

Priest Don't say it.

Hippolytus Fuck God. Fuck the monarchy.

Priest Lord, look down on this man you chose, forgive his sin which comes from the intelligence you blessed him with.

Hippolytus I can't sin against a God I don't believe in.
