The Path to the Black Lodge (1991)

Kenneth Welsh: Windom Earle

Quotes 

• Windom Earle : Your name, please?

  Major Briggs : Garland Briggs.

  Windom Earle : Garland, what do you fear most... in the world?

  Major Briggs : The possibility that love is not enough.

• Windom Earle : These evil sorcerers, dugpas, they call them, cultivate evil for the sake of evil and nothing else. They express themselves in darkness for darkness, without leavening motive. This ardent purity has allowed them to access a secret place of great power, where the cultivation of evil proceeds in exponential fashion. And with it, the furtherance of evil's resulting power. These are not fairy tales, or myths. This place of power is tangible, and as such, can be found, entered, and perhaps, utilized in some fashion. The dugpas have many names for it, but chief among them is the Black Lodge... But you don't believe me, do you? You think I'm mad. Overworked. Go away.

• Windom Earle : The planets our babbling major spoke of are more than distant orbs. They are, in fact, a clock. A clock that tells the time. And the time... Time draws nearer with each ticking tock! Dale wasn't far wrong. The cave painting is an invitation of sorts, telling us when the revels begin. But what Dale doesn't know is where to find it. For you see, the cave painting is not only an invitation, it is also a map... a map to the Black Lodge!

• [Leo Johnson is wearing the rear end of a horse costume] 

  Windom Earle : Leo! It looks like you've finally found your calling!

• [Windom Earle has Major Briggs tide up to a target mat with a crossbow aimed at him] 

  Windom Earle : When did you first see the symbol in Owl Cave?

  Major Briggs : I'm not at liberty to divulge that information.

  Windom Earle : Cheater!

  [Windom fires an arrow at Briggs, missing his head by inches] 

  Windom Earle : What does the cave painting mean?

  Major Briggs : [more firm tone]  I'm not at liberty to divulge that information.

  Windom Earle : Damn, but I love the military mind.

  [fires another arrow at Briggs, again missing him]
