Quotes 

• 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!
