Ron Perlman: Vincent

Quotes 

• Vincent : The hunter came for me. Because he did, two of my friends are dead.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : You risked your life to protect us. You've always kept our world safe from harm.

  Vincent : And I cannot allow myself to endanger our world now. What happened will never happen again. I must go, Father.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Go? Where?

  Vincent : Away. Somewhere separate and apart.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Don't do this, Vincent.

  Vincent : This is the only home I've ever known. But I must leave in order to keep it safe. Don't make this parting any harder.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : [hugging him tightly]  I tried to make a world free from fear and violence.

  Vincent : We cannot always choose the roads we walk.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : [letting him go]  Be careful, Vincent. The road you walk could cost you more than your life. It could cost you yourself.

  Vincent : I know the dangers, Father. That's why I must walk this road alone.

• Elliot Burch : So, it begins again.

  Vincent : It never ended.

  Elliot Burch : It's like a nightmare. He's killing me, Vincent. Inch by inch.

  Vincent : His name is Gabriel. This is important to him, somehow.

  Elliot Burch : [Vincent hands him the ring Snow left him]  Gold. It's interesting. Looks old. Where'd you get this?

  Vincent : From the hand of the hunter he sent to kill me. But he took it off, in the end.

  Elliot Burch : You don't know what you ask of me. If I go on with this, I'm risking...

  Vincent : Everything.

• Elliot Burch : I built a sand castle once. I couldn't have been more than eight years old. It was a wonderful sand castle; walls and turrets. Must have been six feet high. Then the tide came in. Gabriel is the tide, Vincent. He's washing away everything that I've built in my life. He's washing away my dreams.

  Vincent : Dreams can be dreamt again. Sand castles can be rebuilt. Catherine said you were a fighter.

  Elliot Burch : Catherine was wrong about many things.

  Vincent : Sometimes in my sleep, I see another world. A world where I died in Catherine's place. I see her walking in the sunshine, lauging. I watch her grow old, reading to her children. Cradling her grandchildren in her arms. A happy life. The life that she was born to live. The life that she deserved. It seems so real that if, somehow, I can make it so, then... Grave is a fine and a private place.

  Elliot Burch : It's not much to go on. But I'll see what I can find.
