[after Chuck sees Grace teaching his kids]
Chuck : How is it going otherwise with the fooling act?
Grace : I wasn't trying to fool anyone.
Chuck : I mean Dogville. Has it got you fooled yet?
Grace : I thought you were implying that I was trying to exploit the town.
Chuck : Wishful thinking. This town is rotten from the inside out and I wouldn't miss it if it fell into the gorge tomorrow. I see no charm here. But you seem to. Admit it, you've fallen for Dogville. The trees, the mountains, the simple folk. And if all that ain't got you fooled yet, I bet the cinnamon has. That damned cinnamon in those gooseberry pies. Dogville has everything that you ever dreamed of in the big city.
Grace : You're worse than Tom. How do you know what I dreamed of? You're from the city yourself, aren't you?
Chuck : That was a long time ago. I'm not that stupid anymore. I've found out that people are the same all over. Greedy as animals. In a small town they're just a bit less successful. Feed 'em enough, they'll eat till their bellies burst.
Grace : That's why you want to get rid of me... Because you can't stand that I remind you of what it was you came here to find.
