"Have you been fair to me? You have deceived me from the first."
"Twice you have said that, my Lord, and for the second time I give you my earnest assurance that such is not the case. I counsel you as a friend not to make the charge the third time."
"Do you threaten me?"
"Have you not threatened me with your desertion? If you say you do not intend to withdraw, then we will lay plans together at a future time."
"I am determined to return to Cologne."
"To begin your cathedral?"
"'Tis of more avail than dashing out the brains of my soldiers against a Moselle rock."
"Let me give you good advice in the rearing of it. Build your cathedral like a fortress. You will need a stronghold presently in Cologne, whether you need a church or not."
"From threatening my person you threaten my city."
