The Church Scene (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame 1939, French)

For Twolionss too !:)
So it's the French dubbed version of the conversation between Frollo and Esme in Notre-Dame.

Lines translated from French :

Frollo : What are you doing in Notre-Dame ?
Esmeralda : But...I was praying.
Frollo : You wouldn't know to pray here, heretic.
Esmeralda : Who are you ? It seems like a priest, but you aren't one.
Frollo : What matters to you who I am ? Obey. Stand up and leave this church.
Esmeralda : No !
Frollo : You profaned the stones on which ones you knelt.
Esmeralda : Me ?
Frollo : Yes, you ! You dance in public in front of the men you bewitch and you awaken impure and sacrilegious desires in the hearts.
Esmeralda : I dance without thinking of it, like I breathe, is it a sacrilege ?
Frollo : Stand up !
Esmeralda : Release me !...This line...it's the mark of the Devil !
Frollo : You witch ! For this insolence I will make you hang !
Esmeralda : Now I know who you are. Mother of the Savior, don't let me be hanged. Protect me ! Protect me !
Frollo : To pray will be useless, you are from a cursed race.
Esmeralda : No...You don't know my people.
Frollo : Indeed, your fellows abandon themselves to witchcraft.
Esmeralda : If really, they had a magic power, do you think they will stay poor and tormented like they are ? Be very sure they will know how to use it !
Frollo : Every gypsy should be destroyed by iron and fire.
Esmeralda : How do you dare to tell this here ? The Mother of the Savior will hear. However hard I'm an heretic, I could spend my life here without having agressive thoughts, never talking...like a believer...Look...this stained-glass window, full of light...it's so beautiful...the setting sun that brights behind...And look this mist of light around these pillars...they seem like big trees in the forest...everything here breathes the quietness and the peace. It's nearly quieter than the forest, where only the birds sing and scream of joy when I'm talking. I give them seeds to eat in my hands and they come. They aren't wild when they feel you like them.
Frollo : I know.
Esmeralda : Do you like animals ?
Frollo : Yes.
Esmeralda : You like them...You ? So it's that you aren't as mean than that. Somewhere in your heart, there is a place for love. I know it...I see it in your eyes. God knew how to put sweetness in your eyes. He will show me how to help my people. Mother of the Savior, you know that gypsies are chased everywhere...

@twolionss : Even if I don't like their voices so much than in English, I must say the dubbed version is nice ! I'm glad you like it.^^

Frollo and his Freudian slips! p Esmeralda rouses men´s siful desires, hm? Anyway, my favorite scene in the movie.
