• Lilli : Trying to be funny?

  Will : I was just wondering what it would take to make a princess smile.

  [he touches her face and she moves away] 

  Lilli : I'm not a princess.

  Will : What are you then?

  Lilli : I'm the daughter of Friedrich Hoffman.

  Will : Ah, so you're nothing more than a name.

  Lilli : What right do you have to say that? You know nothing about me.

  Will : I know enough of your kind.

  Lilli : How could you know anything about anyone, you live like an animal; you hide out like a criminal.

  Will : And what are you doing princess, is this some holiday you're taking?

  Lilli : My father will find me -

  Will : Where is this great father of yours? How come he hasn't rescued you?

  Lilli : He'll find me, I know it!

  [quietly] 

  Will : What if he doesn't?

  [pause] 

  Lilli : I don't like the way you speak to me.

  Will : How would you have me speak?

  Lilli : Like a civilized gentleman, and not some savage -

  [he slams her up against a pillar with his hand at her throat] 

  Will : That is a word I will not bear from the lips of any man or woman. The last time I heard that word spoken, it was by one of your so-called gentlemen, and there was nothing gentle about it. Or civilized.

  Lilli : Let go of me!

  [faintly mocking] 

  Will : Why?

  Lilli : Because you frighten me.

  [he looks haunted and releases her] 

• Claudia Hoffman : You seem quite alive, for a little wench who's been rotting in the ground. I felt you stir. The moment you took your first breath, it was like a knife in my heart.

  Lilli : You have no heart.

  Claudia Hoffman : That's too simple.

• [Will is having a nightmare] 

  Lars : He dreams of fire. They tied him to a stake, then burned his family while he watched. And then they placed a red-hot cross of iron across his face, because he would not repent.

  Lilli : What was his crime?

  Lars : He would not fight for their cause.

  Lilli : Who were they?

  Lars : Crusaders for the Church. Men of God.

  [pause] 

  Lars : My face, it frightens you?

  Lilli : Yes.

  Lars : Scares me, too.

• Will : Never look a raven in the eye for too long. Might steal your soul and fly away with it.

  Lilli : Why are you staring at me?

  Will : It hadn't occurred to me to look anywhere else.

  Lilli : It's very rude.

  Will : It's one of my better habits.

  Lilli : I take it you have no manners, then.

  Will : No manners then... and no manners now.

  Lilli : Trying to be funny?

• [Claudia has defaced Lilli's mother's grave] 

  Lilli : She knew I would come back.

  [Stepping out from behind another grave] 

  Will : Let's not disappoint her then.

  [Lilli walks towards him, and smiles]
