A scene from The Da Vinci Code 2006

She has some things she wants to tell me. About my family.

What will you do? The legend will be revealed when the heir reveals himself.

They just got the pronoun wrong. She said when Sauniere died he took the location of Mary's sarcophagus with him. So there's no way to empirically prove that I am related to her. What would you do, Robert?

Okay, maybe there is no proof. Maybe the Grail is lost forever. But, Sophie, the only thing that matters is what you believe. History shows us Jesus was an extraordinary man, a human inspiration. That's it. That's all the evidence has ever proved. But... when I was a boy... when I was down in that well Teabing told you about, I thought I was going to die, Sophie. What I did, I prayed. I prayed to Jesus to keep me alive so I could see my parents again, so I could go to school again, so I could play with my dog. Sometimes I wonder if I wasn't alone down there. Why does it have to be human or divine? Maybe human is divine. Why couldn't Jesus have been a father and still be capable of all those miracles?

Like turning water into wine?

Well, who knows? His blood is your blood. Maybe that junkie in the park will never touch a drug again. Maybe you healed my phobia with my hands.

And maybe you're a knight on a Grail quest.

[They both laugh]

Well, here's the question: A living descendant of Jesus Christ - would she destroy faith? Or would she renew it? So again I say, what matters is what you believe.

Thank you. For bringing me here. For letting him choose you, Sir Robert.

[They both laugh]

You take care.

[They hug, Robert kisses Sophie on the forehead and they both walk away from each other]

Hey. [Sophie walks up to a nearby pond, sticks out a foot to see if she can walk on it and fails] Nope. Maybe I'll do better with the wine.

[Robert smiles]

Godspeed.
