Quotes 

• Abbie Mills : Just send her a text. It's the way it's done these days.

  Ichabod Crane : A missive composed by thumb cannot adequately convey emotion.

  Abbie Mills : Hence, emoticons.

  Ichabod Crane : Oh! Yes. A grimacing lemon caricature. That should do the trick. No. I've hurt Miss Caroline's feelings. And I intend to apologize face to face, as a gentleman should.

• Caroline : Your dedication to colonial reenactment is so impressive. You never break character.

  Ichabod Crane : Well, one might say it's a way of life.

  Caroline : I think it's inspiring. And to be honest... kind of... attractive.

  Ichabod Crane : [realization dawns]  Oh.

  [He slowly backs up. She slowly steps forward] 

  Ichabod Crane : Miss Caroline... words cannot express how flattered I am.

  Caroline : Then don't use words.

  Ichabod Crane : [Trapped against the back of the couch]  I'm a married man.

  Caroline : Oh.

  [She backs up a step] 

  Caroline : I'm so sorry.

  Ichabod Crane : No...

  Caroline : You live alone. You never talk about her. There's no photos of her around. I assumed you were single or... separated or... a widower.

  Ichabod Crane : No, I assure you my wife is alive and well-

  [Abbie walks in] 

  Abbie Mills : [Surprised at the looks on their faces]  Didn't mean to interrupt.

  Caroline : I am such an idiot. This is *not* what it looks like, Mrs. Crane.

  Abbie Mills : Mrs. Who now?

  Ichabod Crane : Oh, no, no. Uh... Miss Mills is my partner.

  [Caroline is hastily gathering her things while Abby is smiling, clearly enjoying Crane's embarrassment] 

  Ichabod Crane : Not- not... life partner. She's my... we... Oh, look! She comes baring a selection of delicacies from the Far East.

  Abbie Mills : Commonly known as Yummy Foo's Szechuan.

  Caroline : I'll be going now. Excuse me.

  [Rushes out the door] 

  Ichabod Crane : No, Miss Caroline... please.

  [Closes the door after her] 

  Abbie Mills : We need a signal. We need to hang a tie on the doorknob or something.

  [laughs] 

• Ichabod Crane : Our mission as witnesses puts those for whom we care the most in terrible danger.

  Abbie Mills : But if we don't do this job, those same people will die in Moloch's apocalypse.

  Ichabod Crane : Our duty must be to one another before anything... or anyone.

  Abbie Mills : This is another Katrina thing, isn't it?

  Ichabod Crane : Marriage is difficult on the best day, but without trust... without honesty... How can a union between two people hope to survive?
