Quotes
-
Edward Malus : [holding Rowan's doll] Is this hers? How'd it get burned? How'd it get burned? HOW'D IT GET BURNED, HOW'D IT GET BURNED?
Sister Willow : I... DON'T... KNOW!
-
Edward Malus : You know, traditionally, the guy gets his ring back when the fiancee runs away.
Sister Willow : [taking a necklace out] I still wear it. Sort of. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come.
Edward Malus : How could I not?
Sister Willow : Easily. You could have thought I was a madwoman or something raving about my lost daughter. They all do.
Edward Malus : Look, I'm barely adjusted to the fact that you have a daughter, okay? So... let's go slow here.
-
Edward Malus : What is the Day of Death and Rebirth?
Sister Willow : It's a story. That's all it is; a story.
Edward Malus : Look, I'm trying to trust you here, but every time I turn my head, there's something that doesn't make any sense.
Sister Willow : Well, I'm frightened of this place, too. I was happy to leave here when I did. Even though I came back, I wish I hadn't. I wish that I stayed and made a life with you, been with you all these years, but I didn't.

Dr. T.H. Moss : You came to find our little Rowan. But it is we who found you, just as we intended to do.
Edward Malus : I don't understand. Rowan was missing. I had to come. I had a letter. Willow, tell them. Willow, please tell them.
Sister Beech : The letter was from all of us here. Your invitation to visit... one might say.
Sister Summersisle : You see, you were just the man we needed. And we were determined to get you here.
Sister Rose : Notice, Sir Knight, how we led you to believe that your daughter would be sacrificed, due to the failure of the crops last year.
Edward Malus : But they did fail. I saw the photo.
Sister Summersisle : Yes, they failed, all right; disastrously so. One of the few times since my ancestors moved here. But we are always prepared with a powerful sacrifice. And that, my friend, is your destiny.
Edward Malus : [aiming his gun around as he's circled] BACK UP!
Sister Summersisle : What we require is a stranger, yet one who is connected to us.
Sister Rose : Connected by blood.
Edward Malus : Willow... why have you done this to me?
Sister Willow : We orchestrated all of this with the greatest care; everything that's happened. Be proud of yourself. You have done so well.
Sister Summersisle : Yes. My daughter speaks the truth. Your fate was sealed many years ago, when she chose to be with you.
Edward Malus : Your daughter.
Sister Summersisle : Yes. My Willow. This is a story whose chapters were carefully written. You have been chosen to die a martyr's death. You will sit beside the gods and goddesses for all of eternity.
Edward Malus : [the townsfolk move in closer] BACK UP! I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL SHOOT YOU!
Sister Summersisle : It is a great honor. One that you cannot refuse. It is ordained. There is no way out.
Edward Malus : STAY BACK!
[he pulls the trigger, but the gun clicks empty, and Willow reveals the bullets in her hand]

Sister Willow : So...
Edward Malus : No. No. That's the only way to start this. What in the hell happened to you?
Sister Willow : I didn't, um... look, it... it was a long time ago. We were young.
Edward Malus : So what?
Sister Willow : Well... why do we do anything in this life?
Edward Malus : I need some kind of answer here. I mean... was it some other guy or...? I mean, obviously, you met someone, but...
Sister Willow : Look, I... I was scared, and... I don't know. I just... I wasn't ready for this. So... I ran back home.
Edward Malus : It's quite a home, by the way. This place.
Sister Willow : We're different here. I know that. If you've grown up around it, it's one thing, but... it's... yes, odd. Anyway... my daughter is what matters to me now. Rowan.
Edward Malus : Why do this? Stir this all up again. It's so... why don't you just get her dad to help you?
Sister Willow : Because the only person I trust is you. Even after all these years.
