Dialog
High Priestess
Great Hera, guardian of this sacred flame, we beseech thee to bless this fire with thy divine light, as it has been done since the days of our ancestors.
Nazi Official
Ensure the angle captures both the priestess and the flame clearly. The world must see the purity of our Olympic tradition.
Photographer
Jawohl, Herr Kommissar. The lighting is perfect—the flame will appear as if blessed by the gods themselves.
High Priestess
The flame ignites not for spectacle, but for the honor of the gods and the spirit of the Games. Let none forget its true purpose.
Nazi Official
Purpose is what we make of it, Priestess. Today, this flame carries more than tradition—it carries the future.
Photographer
One more—the smoke rising against the temple columns. It will symbolize endurance.
High Priestess
May the gods judge the intentions of those who wield this flame, for fire reveals truth as surely as it consumes falsehood.
