Quote context

[...]

- A man who has come here with the power of a king by representing the law.

- A man who would come here as a virgin.

- A man who has come here as a fool.

- Get out of my way.

- You are the fool, Mr Howie. Punch, one of the great fool-victims of history.

- For you have accepted the role of king for a day, and who but a fool would do that?

- But you will be revered and anointed as a king.

- You will undergo death and rebirth, resurrection, if you like. The rebirth, sadly, will not be yours, but that of our crops.

- I am a Christian, and as a Christian, I hope for resurrection. And even if you kill me now, it is I who will live again, not your damned apples.

- Sleep close and fast.

- No matter what you do, you can't change the fact that I believe in the life eternal, as promised to us by Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
