Quotes 

  • Polygraph Technician : Tell me about the Horseman. Would you admit cutting off his head, yes or no?

    Ichabod Crane : No. First I shot him, then he rose back up. Beheading him seemed the next logical step.

  • Lt. Abbie Mills : I told you to stay in the car.

    Ichabod Crane : Yet as you know, I am insane and therefore impervious to simple commands.

  • Lt. Abbie Mills : Mr. Crane, I'm Lieutenant Abbie Mills.

    Ichabod Crane : A female lieutenant. In whose army?

    Lt. Abbie Mills : You're not gonna break character, huh?

    Ichabod Crane : You've been emancipated, I take it?

    Lt. Abbie Mills : Excuse me?

    Ichabod Crane : From enslavement.

    Lt. Abbie Mills : Okay. I'll play along here. I am a black female lieutenant for the Westchester County Police Department. Do you see this gun? I'm authorized to use it. On you.

    Ichabod Crane : If you're insinuating I endorse slavery, I'm offended.

    Lt. Abbie Mills : Wait, back up. You're offended?

    Ichabod Crane : I'll have you know I was a proponent of the Abolitionist Act before the New York Assembly.

    Lt. Abbie Mills : Congratulations. Slavery has been abolished 150 years. It's a whole new day in America.

  • Ichabod Crane : That building used to be a livery stables.

    Lt. Abbie Mills : Yeah? Well, now it's a Starbucks. Where they make coffee.

    Ichabod Crane : And that building is also a Starbucks?

    Lt. Abbie Mills : Yep.

    Ichabod Crane : Well, how many are there?

    Lt. Abbie Mills : Per block?

    Ichabod Crane : Is there a law?

  • Lt. Abbie Mills : Two hundred and fifty years, huh? Civil War didn't wake you? Noisy neighbors to the south. Did you get up to pee? Don't know about you, but I'm getting up to pee every 75, 80 years.

    Ichabod Crane : Are you quite finished? Because most of what you say is unintelligible gibberish to me. It's like watching a chicken cluck. And when did it become acceptable for ladies to wear trousers?

  • Ichabod Crane : Here I thought I'd actually awoken in the future and that my wife had been dead for 250 years. I'm glad that everything I'm seeing and hearing and touching is impossible, because that means it isn't actually happening.

    Lt. Abbie Mills : I have orders to take you to a mental institution.

    Ichabod Crane : [irate]  Excellent. This day continues to bear gifts.

  • Ichabod Crane : Now I have questions, several thousand questions, but I'll spare you the indignity of strapping you to a damn chair. Now where am I?

    Polygraph Technician : The question isn't where, but when. The good news is you won the war, the bad news is... it was 250 years ago. Welcome to the 21st century, Mr. Crane.

  • Polygraph Technician : Now tell me your name and where you're from.

    Ichabod Crane : My name is Ichabod Crane. I was a professor of history at Merton College, Oxford, when I was enlisted in the Queen's Royal Regiment and sent to the American colonies to fight the patriots. It didn't take long for me to have a change of heart and I defected.

    Polygraph Technician : You're saying you're a... spy?

    Ichabod Crane : I'm saying the rule of tyranny betrayed the weight of my conscience and I couldn't allow myself to give my life for anything less. So, yes, I became a spy under the command of General Washington.

    Polygraph Technician : General George Washington?

    Ichabod Crane : Do you know him?

  • Polygraph Technician : [while studying the computer polygraph]  Tell me about the Horseman. Would you admit cutting off his head? Yes or no?

    Ichabod Crane : [resolved]  No. First I shot him, than he rose back up. Beheading him seemed the next logical step.

  • Lt. Abbie Mills : Hey. Who is he, when's the last time you saw him?

    Ichabod Crane : When I cut off his head.

  • Captain Frank Irving : I ought to throw you in jail. Except I have a preserved head in a pickle jar and two cops who just backed up your story. Not to mention a confession from Brooks, who says he'll plea bargain, but only if he talks to you and Captain America here.

    Ichabod Crane : Hmmm?

  • Lt. Abbie Mills : Mr. Crane, I'm Lieutenant Abbie Mills.

    Ichabod Crane : A female lieutenant. In whose army?

    Lt. Abbie Mills : You're not gonna break character, huh?

    Ichabod Crane : You've been emancipated, I take it?

    Lt. Abbie Mills : Congratulations. Slavery has been abolished 150 years. It's a whole new day in America.

    Ichabod Crane : Oh. Well, I'm pleased to hear it. I on the other hand remain shackled here.

  • Polygraph Technician : Now tell me your name and where you're from.

    Ichabod Crane : My name is Ichabod Crane. I was a professor of history at Merton College, Oxford, when I was enlisted in the Queen's Royal Regiment and sent to the American colonies to fight the patriots. It didn't take long for me to have a change of heart and I defected.

    [placing a one-dollar bill in front of Ichabod] 

    Polygraph Technician : it was 250 years ago. Welcome to the 21st century, Mr. Crane.

  • Ichabod Crane : [to the polygraph technician]  I'm saying the rule of tyranny betrayed the weight of my conscience and I couldn't allow myself to give my life for anything less.

  • Ichabod Crane : [to Abbie about the horseman]  When I beheaded him, that man didn't die. Because he was never a man at all. He is death itself, Lieutenant. And somehow... he had returned to Sleepy Hollow to finish what he started.

  • Lt. Abbie Mills : [about how long he 'slept']  Two hundred and fifty years, huh? Civil War didn't wake you? Noisy neighbors to the south. Did you get up to pee? Don't know about you, but I'm getting up to pee every 75, 80 years.

    Ichabod Crane : [affronted]  Are you quite finished? Because most of what you say is unintelligible gibberish to me.

  • Ichabod Crane : Excellent. This day continues to bear gifts. Will we be sharing a cell, Lieutenant?
