Captain Bill Martin - the catholic chaplain (episode V: Appennino Emiliano) : I've never examined their consciences. I've never discussed this with them. I've never asked them anything, because I never felt I could judge them. I know them too well. They're good friends. Perhaps you, here mind this peace, this atmosphere of serene meditation, consider me guilty. I don't feel guilty. My conscience is clear.
