The Priest
- The Priest: Love is awful. It's awful. It's painful. It's frightening. Makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life, makes you selfish, makes you creepy, makes you obbsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do thing you never thought you would do.
- Claire: There's something wrong with your priest.
- The Priest: It's all any of us want, and it's hell when we get there. So, no wonder it's something we don't want to do on our own. I was taught if we're born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, it feeling right, "When it feels right, it's easy", but I'm not sure that's true. It takes strength to know what's right. And love isn't something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope. So thank you for bringing us all together here today. To take words from this book of love: be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.
- The Priest: Oh, I don't know what this feeling is.
- Fleabag: Is it God, or is it me?
- The Priest: I don't know,
