Clean Slate (1981)

Jean Champion: Priest

Quotes 

• Priest : You'll never arrest anybody. How can they respect you? You've got to show folks you're brave, honest, and hard-working. Here, hold this.

  [Lucien Cordier holds down a statue of Christ while the Priest nails it to a cross] 

  Lucien Cordier : I can't.

  Priest : Why not?

  Lucien Cordier : First, because I'm not brave, honest, and hard-working, and second, because I don't think my bosses want me to be.

  Priest : How come?

  Lucien Cordier : If they wanted someone brave, honest, and hard-working, they wouldn't have hired me.
