The Rendezvous Quote
Charles Du Plessis: How much do you know about the Dead Sea Scrolls, Dr. Rozman?
Rachel Rozman: Not much. I mean, I-I know that they were manuscripts and they were found in caves.
Charles Du Plessis: Why did a team of religious scholars suppress them for forty-four years? On orders from the Vatican because they deny the virgin birth? But how could it be otherwise? Even the word scroll is misleading. Most of the Dead Sea manuscripts are badly damaged fragments. Those scraps have been pieced together creatively to translate into different meanings for different people. Togther they might shed light on the inspiration for the holy books of the world's great religions. It was your brother who encouraged me to play out a hunch that there might be more to be found. After four years of scouring caves, David found a new piece; not a fragment, mind you, a scroll, perhaps the largest ever found. Perhaps the key to the other texts, and then the prick stole it from me!
Rachel Rozman: Mr...
Charles Du Plessis: No, no, no, no. I didn't kill him. My passion for collecting only goes so far.
Jake Al-Shadi: So who did?
Charles Du Plessis: I wouldn't be wasting my time with the U.S. State Department if I knew.
Rachel Rozman: Not much. I mean, I-I know that they were manuscripts and they were found in caves.
