Heath Ledger: Conor

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Fergus : [discussing Diana's invitation for an inter-tribal meeting]  It's a trap.

  Conor : You think everything's a trap.

  Fergus : We're walking into the enemy camp, moving in like we're family. We're just begging for an arrow in the heart.

  Conor : Would you rather the River People make a pact with her? Or Patrick? She's invited all the tribes, you know. Patrick's weak. He could turn Roman overnight. I can just picture him parading around in his little skirt and sandals, bathing in olive oil.

  Fergus : Mud.

  Conor : What?

  Fergus : They bathe in mud. Uh, so I've heard.

• [following Malachy's advice, Conor kisses a clay pillar and the resulting explosion throws he and Fergus out of the pit] 

  Fergus : Big kiss.

  Conor : Fergus...

  Fergus : What?

  Conor : It was bigger than you know.

  [a beautiful naked woman, covered in clay, emerges out of the swirling dust] 

• Conor : [to Bridget]  Molly's a world traveler as well as a Druid novice.

  Molly : But who are you? That's the question.

  [Bridget stares into the fire] 

  Conor : I'll get some more wood.

  Molly : Fire! Do you know how fire was created, Bridget? Sprites made it and they guarded their secret fiercely, leaving the rest of the world to live in darkness. But one day, a man named Meade came along and stole their fire and when the sprites complained, he cut out their tongues. Unable to talk, they retreated into the earth... but maybe you know the story.

• [Fergus wraps the naked Bridget with a blanket] 

  Fergus : Here you go, lass. Keep us honest.

  [Bridget drops the blanket to the ground, but Fergus picks it up and tries again] 

  Fergus : Sorry, my love, but can't have you displayin' your bounty for the lad. His youthful zeal might get the better of him.

  [Bridget again drops the blanket to the ground] 

  Conor : Allow me, Fergus. All it takes is a bit of youthful zeal

  Fergus : Sweet Bridget.

• [discussing Malachy] 

  Conor : What can this man tell us that we don't already know.

  Fergus : If Molly is right and the girl's a fire goddess...

  Molly : Sprite.

  Fergus : "Sprite". That's a childish name. If she is a fire goddess...

  Conor : Then we should be looking for her and not chasing down Malachy.

  Molly : We did look for her Conor - all night! This is our only hope. He may know where she is and more importantly... what she is.

• [discussing Bridget] 

  Molly : She's better off, Conor. She never belonged here in the first place.

  Conor : She spoke to me, Molly. She-she spoke.

  Molly : And you spoke to her. You gave her something to take back. Something that will be part of our land forever.

  Conor : What?

  Molly : Your heart.

• [last lines] 

  Conor : [discussing Colm]  All right, Fergus, we'll let him in. You can even lead the ceremony.

  Fergus : Me?

  Conor : Aye. You're a born leader. So, where are we going?

  Fergus : I have no idea.

  [Conor, Fergus and Molly ride off down a riverside trail]
