Edward Walker: Ivy...
Ivy Walker: Yes, father.
Edward Walker: Do your very best not to scream.
Ivy Walker: When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?
Lucius Hunt: Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night.
Edward Walker: It is all that I can give you... It is all that I can give you.
Alice Hunt: I accept.
Edward Walker: His will to live is very strong.
August Nicholson: I often wondered if you and my son bonded because neither of you was fond of speaking. You're very kind. You must pardon my manners; I haven't slept in many nights.
Lucius Hunt: I am not the one with secrets.
Alice Hunt: What is your meaning?
Lucius Hunt: There are secrets in every corner of this village. Do you not feel it? Do you not see it?
Alice Hunt: And what makes you think that he has feelings for me?
Lucius Hunt: The way he never touches you.
Ivy Walker: I'm back, Lucius.
Edward Walker: The moment I heard my daughter's vision had finally failed her, and that she'd forever be blind, I was sitting in that chair. I was so ashamed.
Lucius Hunt: There are different types of love.
Lucius Hunt: Sometimes we don't do things, yet others know we want to do things so we don't do them.
Alice Hunt: What nonsense do you speak?
Lucius Hunt: You needn't worry. Nothing will happen to me.
Alice Hunt: You remind me of a colt sometimes.
Ivy Walker: I know why you denied my sister. When I was younger, you used to hold my arm when I walked. Then suddenly you stopped. One day, I even tripped in your presence and nearly fell. I was faking, of course, but still you did not hold me. Sometimes we don't do things we want to do so that others will not know we want to do them.
Noah Percy: They're coming.
Edward Walker: You are fearless in a way that I shall never know.
Brown-Eyed Girl: Heed the warning bell, for they are coming.
Ivy Walker: Papa, I cannot see his color.
Ivy Walker: If he dies, all that is life to me will die with him
August Nicholson: Who'll pinch me to wake me up? Who will laugh at me when I fall? Whose breath will I listen for so that I may sleep? Whose hand will I hold so that I may walk?
Lucius Hunt: Do you not wish you had your sight?
Ivy Walker: I see the world, Lucius Hunt. Just not as you see it.
Ivy Walker: How is it that you are so brave while the rest of us shake in our boots?
Lucius Hunt: I don't think of what might happen, only what must be done.
Edward Walker: Yes, I have risked. I hope I am always able to risk everything for the just and right cause.
August Nicholson: We can move toward hope; that's what's beautiful about this place.
August Nicholson: We cannot run from heartache... Heartache is a part of life. We know that now.
Lucius Hunt: You run like a boy.
Ivy Walker: Thank you.
Ivy Walker: I'm not going to tell you what your color is, so stop asking.
Edward Walker: We have always had a gentle understanding with the creatures that live in the woods.
Ivy Walker: I do long to do boy things. Like that game the boys play at the stump. They put their backs to the woods and see how long they can wait before getting scared. It's so exciting. I understand you hold the record? It will never be broken they say.
Lucius Hunt: It's just childish games.
Ivy Walker: Noah Percy come here this minute.
Ivy Walker: You must go into the quiet room.
Noah Percy: No, no I'll cry quarts.
Ivy Walker: If you will not go into the quiet room we must strike a deal.
Noah Percy: Capital idea.
Ivy Walker: You must promise never to hit anyone ever again.
Noah Percy: No, no hitting.
Ivy Walker: Do you promise to keep this deal secret?
Noah Percy: Like a church mouse.
Ivy Walker: The deal is struck.
Finton Coin: Thank you, Lucius. You're a good friend.
Ivy Walker: We'll be safe, we have the magic rocks.
Guard at Desk: Do not get into conversations.
Ivy Walker: My sister has found love... again.
Beatrice: It is amazing what two people love chooses to unite. It follows no rules.
