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]
