• [last lines] 

  Rosaleen : Little girls, this seems to say / Never stop upon your way / Never trust a stranger friend / No-one knows how it will end / As you're pretty, so be wise / Wolves may lurk in every guise / Now as then, 'tis simple truth / Sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth.

• Rosaleen : [hears wolves howl]  Who's come to sing us carols, then?

  Huntsman : Only my companions, darling. I love the company of wolves. Look out of the window and you'll see them.

  Rosaleen : [does so]  Poor creatures. It's freezing cold out there. No wonder they howl so.

• Rosaleen : They say the Prince of Darkness is a gentleman. And as it turns out, they're right; a fine gentleman.

• Rosaleen : I'd never let a man strike me.

  Granny : Oh, they're nice as pie until they've had their way with you. But once the bloom is gone... oh, the beast comes out.

• Rosaleen : And then they lived happily ever after?

  Granny : Indeed they did not!

• Rosaleen : And that's all I'll tell you, cause that's all I know.

• Rosaleen : [pushes him away as they near a kiss]  Jesus, what big teeth you have!

  Huntsman : [smiles deviously]  All the better to eat you with.

  [Rosaleen shoots his arm with a rifle making him scream and writhe in pain turning into a wolf] 

• Rosaleen : [after the huntsman turns into a wolf from being shot, tearfully]  I'm sorry. I never knew a wolf could cry.

• Rosaleen : [a lock of Granny's hair singes in the fireplace]  Is that all you left of her? Your kind can't stomach hair, can you? Even if the worst wolves are hairy on the inside.

  Huntsman : What do you know about my kind?

  Rosaleen : [takes out a knife]  My granny told me plenty!

  [the huntsman restrains her] 

  Huntsman : Are you very much afraid?

  Rosaleen : It wouldn't do me much good to be afraid, would it? My, what big eyes you have.

  Huntsman : All the better to see you with.

  Rosaleen : They say seeing is believing, but I'd never swear to it.

• Granny : Your only sister, all alone in the wood, and nobody there to save her. Poor little lamb.

  Rosaleen : Why couldn't she save herself?

  Granny : You don't know anything, you're only a child.

• Rosaleen : That's a horrible story. I didn't like it at all.
