Quotes 

• Anna Craig : I have a confession to make, if I may, Reverend.

  Reverend Robert Alden : Of course you may. That's what reverends are for.

  Anna Craig : Well, I... I love a particular neighbor of mine very much.

  Reverend Robert Alden : I see.

  Anna Craig : It's you.

  Reverend Robert Alden : [laughs nervously]  That's... that's very Christian of you, Mrs. Craig. Um... I of course, care about you, in that pure, platonic, rational affection between two of God's creatures.

  Anna Craig : Oh, no Reverend! It's not platonic, and it's not rational! It's a love that surpasseth all understanding.

  Reverend Robert Alden : Oh Dear... Uh... The way the Lord loves us, you might say: Spiritual and sublime.

  Anna Craig : Reverend Alden, I love you. The way a woman loves a man.

  Reverend Robert Alden : If you'll excuse me, Mrs. Craig, um, it's getting late. I have to be going. I want to thank you for everything.

• Anna Craig : Mrs. Olseson, if you don't move out of the way, I will hit you with this tray.
