[from trailer]
John McBurney : [screaming] What have you done to me, you vengeful bitches?
-
Martha Farnsworth : You're our most unwelcome visitor, and we do not propose to entertain you.
John McBurney : You'll find I'm... easily amused.
Martha Farnsworth : You won't be here long enough for that.
-
John McBurney : I'd like to thank you for all of this, as well. It looks - like just about the finest meal I've ever seen.
Martha Farnsworth : Well, bon appetit.
-
Marie : I wanted to bring this to you last night for fear that you might die before morning, but then I thought, since you were unconscious, you wouldn't be able to read it anyway.
John McBurney : That's very logical.
Marie : Are you Catholic?
John McBurney : I was baptized.
Marie : Well then, here's a prayer book for you.
John McBurney : Thank you.
Marie : I thought you might need to confess if you're on the verge of death.
John McBurney : Oh, I think I'll be able to hang around for just a little bit longer.
-
John McBurney : If you could have anything, what's your biggest wish? If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?
Edwina : Anything?
John McBurney : Yeah. Anything.
Edwina : To be taken far away from here.

John McBurney : A toast to you, Miss Martha. You must be the bravest woman I've ever known.
Martha Farnsworth : No. No. All bravery is, is doing what's needed at the time.
-
Martha Farnsworth : Is your leg paining you?
John McBurney : Some.
Martha Farnsworth : Well, I hear numbness would be more grave.
John McBurney : Indeed.
Martha Farnsworth : There is some brandy if you wish.
John McBurney : Oh, now that would be a pleasure.
Martha Farnsworth : It's not being offered for your pleasure, only for your comfort.
-
John McBurney : Listen, don't tell any of the others, but I consider you to be my best friend in this whole place.
-
John McBurney : Well, well, well. What are you lovely Southern ladies learning today? The art of castration?
-
Martha Farnsworth : Miss Alicia made the pie herself.
Alicia : I hope you like apple pie?
John McBurney : I love apple pie. It's me favorite.
Edwina : Is that my recipe, Alicia?
Alicia : It is.
Amy : I picked the apples.
-
John McBurney : Miss Amy, you picked these mushrooms yourself?
Amy : [Nods her head yes]
John McBurney : Delicious.
-
[first lines]
Amy : [finding some mushrooms] Here you go.
John McBurney : [sitting wounded by a tree] Shh. Are you frightened?
Amy : No. Yes.
John McBurney : Uh, so am I.
Amy : Can you move at all?
John McBurney : Uh... Uh, I'll try, if there's some place to go.
-
Amy : Do you like birds?
John McBurney : Oh, I love them. Anything wild, I love. Wild and free.
-
John McBurney : You can trust me in your place, ma'am.
Martha Farnsworth : Well, I don't know you.
John McBurney : Well, I think if you knew me - you would.
Martha Farnsworth : You won't be here long enough for that.
-
John McBurney : In the middle of battle with all the iron flying overhead, me first thought was to bury me-self.
Edwina : But, when you couldn't, you ran.
John McBurney : I did. I surely deed I did.
Edwina : That wasn't very brave of you to run.
John McBurney : Maybe not. But, it was smart, I think.
Edwina : Because you're alive?
John McBurney : And now I've met you.
Edwina : You don't even know me.
-
Martha Farnsworth : I hope the girls weren't telling stories.
John McBurney : What do you care what they say about you?
Martha Farnsworth : I don't. I didn't want you to get the wrong impression.
John McBurney : Then, you do care what I think about you?
Martha Farnsworth : You're a stranger here. That's all.
-
John McBurney : How did you end up in this place?
Edwina : Why are you so interested in me?
John McBurney : I just recollect you and I are both a little out of place here. I bet you're the independent sort - and the other girls, they don't even know how to get close to you. And then, of course, there's your looks.
Edwina : That doesn't matter to me.
John McBurney : Oh, you can bet it matters to other people. Sorry to tell you and I hope you don't mind me telling you; but, well, in all my travels, I've never come across such a delicate beauty as yours.
-
John McBurney : If you could have anything, what's your biggest wish? If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?
Edwina : Anything?
John McBurney : Yeah, anything.
Edwina : To be taken far away from here.
-
Martha Farnsworth : When I return, would you care to join me for a brandy, Corporal?
John McBurney : I'd like that very much, ma'am.
