Quotes from The Village (2004)
1
Ivy Walker: When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head? Lucius Hunt: Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night.

Ivy Walker: I know why you denied my sister. When I was younger, you used to hold my arm when I walked. Then suddenly you stopped. One day, I even tripped in your presence and nearly fell. I was faking, of course, but still you did not hold me. Sometimes we don't do things we want to do so that others will not know we want to do them.

Mrs. Clack: [Edward Walker tells the group he has sent Ivy to the towns to fetch medicines] What have you done? Edward Walker: He is the victim of a crime. Mrs. Clack: We have agreed never to go back. Never Edward Walker: What was the purpose of our leaving? Don't forget, it was out of hope of something good and right. Robert Percy: You should not have made decisions without us! Edward Walker: I'm guilty, Robert! I made a decision of a heart, I cannot look into another's eyes and see the same look I see in August's without justification! It is too painful, I cannot bear it! Mrs. Clack: You have jeopardized everything we have made. Edward Walker: Who do you think will continue this place, this life? Do you plan to live forever? It is in them that our future lies, it is in Ivy and Lucius that this way of life will continue. Yes I have risked, I hope I am always able to risk everything for the just and right cause. If we did not make this decision, we could never again call ourselves innocent, and that in the end is what we have protected here, innocence! That I'm not ready to give up. August Nicholson: Let her go. If it ends, it ends. We can move towards hope, that's what's beautiful about this place. We cannot run from heartache. My brother was slain in the towns, the rest of my family died here. Heartache is a part of life, we know that now. Ivy is running toward hope, let her run. If this place is worthy, she'll be successful in her quest. Mrs. Clack: How could you have sent her. She is blind. Edward Walker: She is more capable than most in this village. And she is led by love. The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.

Ivy Walker: [singing to her sister Kitty] Baby sleep, gently sleep / Life is long and love is deep. / Time will be sweet for thee / All the world to see. / Time to look around and know / How the shadows come and go, / How the breeze stirs the tree, / How the blossoms grow

Lucius Hunt: [reading a letter to the elders] My mother is unaware of reasons of my visit today. She did not give her consent or consult me in any form. The passing of little Daniel Nicholson, from illness, and other events have weighed on my thoughts. I ask permission to cross into the forbidden woods and travel to the nearest town. I will gather new medicines, and I will return. With regards to those we don't speak of, I am certain they will let me pass. Creatures can sense emotion and fear. They will see I am pure of intention and not afraid. The end.

Ivy Walker: [after Noah hands her some red berries] Oh, berries! What a splendid present! Lucius Hunt: Be cautious. You are holding the bad color. Ivy Walker: [becomes worried, covors the berries with her hands] This color attracts Those We Don't Speak Of. [Turning to Noah] Ivy Walker: You ought not pick that colour berry anymore. [Noah nods] Lucius Hunt: [In a hushed whisper] He picked it from his pocket. Ivy Walker: Your breathing has changed. What's wrong? Lucius Hunt: [to Noah] If you did not pick this now, where did you get it? [Noah takes Lucius's hand and leads him through the forest. Cut to scene where we hear Lucius addressing the Elders] Lucius Hunt: Today at resting rock, Noah Percy handed Ivy Walker berries of the bad color. When asked where he had found these berries, for they were unlike any I have seen, he pointd to the drawing on Resting Rock. It is my knowledge that Noah has traveled into the woods on many occasions. It also confirms my belief that the creatures did not harm Noah because of his innocence, and they would let me through to fetch medicines.

Ivy Walker: I do long to do boy things. Like that game the boys play at the stump. They put their backs to the woods and see how long they can wait before getting scared. It's so exciting. I understand you hold the record? It will never be broken they say. Lucius Hunt: It's just childish games.

Ivy Walker: Noah Percy come here this minute. Ivy Walker: You must go into the quiet room. Noah Percy: No, no I'll cry quarts. Ivy Walker: If you will not go into the quiet room we must strike a deal. Noah Percy: Capital idea. Ivy Walker: You must promise never to hit anyone ever again. Noah Percy: No, no hitting. Ivy Walker: Do you promise to keep this deal secret? Noah Percy: Like a church mouse. [They shake hands. Ivy points to her cheek. Noah kisses it] Ivy Walker: The deal is struck.
