Joan of Arc : I've always been faithful to God and I've followed everything He's ever said and I've done everything He's ever asked me to do.
The Conscience : God asked you to do something?
Joan of Arc : Yes. Yes, lots of things.
The Conscience : You mean God said, "I need you, Jeanne."
Joan of Arc : No. But He sent me signs.
The Conscience : Signs? What signs?
Joan of Arc : The wind. The wind. And the clouds, ringing!
The Conscience : Ringing clouds?
Joan of Arc : The dance. The dance. The dance. The dance.
The Conscience : The dance.
Joan of Arc : The sword! The sword lying in the field. That was a sign.
The Conscience : No. That was a sword in a field.
Joan of Arc : No. No, that was a sign!
The Conscience : No. That was a sword. In a field.
Joan of Arc : It can't just get there by itself! It can't. A sword just doesn't get there by itself. It can't just get there by itself.
The Conscience : True. Every event has an infinite number of causes, so why pick one rather than another? There are many ways a sword might find itself in a field.
