Dialog
Jan Želivský
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Vilém Kostka
Master Želivský, thy words are as poison, spreading discord among the faithful. The council shall not bow to thy demands.
Jan Želivský
Nay, 'tis not I who sow discord, but those who persecute the true believers! Release the prisoners, or face the wrath of God!
Vilém Kostka
The council's decision is final. The prisoners shall remain in custody, for the safety of all.
Jan Želivský
Then let the judgment of the Lord be upon this council! Ye shall reap the whirlwind!
