Quotes
-
Edward Malus : Are you the barmaiden, or barkeep, or whatever you call it around here?
Sister Beech : I am Sister Beech, yes.
-
Sister Beech : This here is mead. It's one of the pleasures of our island. A brew of honey, herbs... and whatnot.
Edward Malus : [sniffing it] Thanks.
[taking a sip]
Edward Malus : Yeah.
[taking another long gulp]
Edward Malus : I think you ought to know...
[pounding the bartop with his badge to get everyone's attention]
Edward Malus : I think you all should know that I'm here on business. This is official police business, and I want to speak to each one of you at some point.
Sister Beech : Official California business, is it? Because... this is Washington.
Edward Malus : I'm aware of that.
Sister Beech : Then fine.
Edward Malus : No, Mrs. Beech, it is not fine. It is anything but fine when a person is lost. Especially a child.
[as a bee lands on the bartop, he smushes it with his stein]
Sister Beech : Now, why would you go and do a thing like that?
Edward Malus : Sorry, I'm allergic.

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]
