Anne
I don't believe that the Holy Spirit is a dove.
Nicholas
I don't believe that either.
Anne
Doves are anything but holy.
Nicholas
They poo on the window.

Anne
Mummy, I won't ask for forgiveness for something I didn't do!
Grace
You told your brother there was someone else in the room!
Anne
There was!
Grace
You're lying!
Anne
I AM NOT!
Anne
Nicholas don't speak to them.
Nicholas
Why?
Anne
They're dead.
Nicholas
WHAT?
Anne
They're ghosts. Come over here.
Nicholas
But you said, "Ghosts wear sheets and carry chains".
Anne
I don't care what I said. Get away from them.
Nicholas
You're always teasing me and telling lies. I'm sick of it.
Anne
Nicholas I'm telling the truth. COME HERE!
Charles
I just came home to say goodbye to my wife and children.
Grace
Where are you going?
Charles
To the front.
Grace
I thought the war was over.
Charles
The war is not over.
Grace
You're not going. You left us once already. YOU CAN'T GO! Why did you go and fight that stupid war that had NOTHING TO DO WITH US? Why didn't you stay like the others did?
Charles
The others surrendered.
Grace
We are all surrendered, what did you expect? What were you trying to prove by going to war? Your place was here with your family. I loved you, but that wasn't enough, was it? You want to leave not because of the war, you want to leave me, remember when you told me "I know a place where no one can bother our children when they are playing"?
Grace
Charles. You look so different.
Charles
Sometimes I bleed.
Grace
If you're dead, then leave us in peace. Leave us in peace!
Mrs. Mills
And suppose we do leave you, ma'am, do you suppose that They will?
Grace
Who?
Mrs. Mills
The intruders.
Grace
So you say you know this house well?
Mrs. Mills
Like the back of my hand, that is assuming the walls haven't sprouted legs and moved in the meantime.
Grace
The only thing that moves here is the light, but it changes everything.
Grace
Where's my daughter? What have you done with my daughter?
Anne
Are you mad? I am your daughter.
Grace
Whoever took the curtains wants to kill my children.
Mrs. Mills
Now, why do you think the daylight would kill them?
Grace
Are you mad? I already told you my children are photosensitive. THE LIGHT WILL KILL THEM!
Mrs. Mills
Yes, but that was before. The condition could have cleared up.
Mrs. Mills
[to Anne, who is crying after being punished]
No crying now. No crying. Stop that. Here. [uses her apron to wipe away Anne's tears] Look what an awful face you've got when you cry.
Anne
[crying]
I don't care!
Mrs. Mills
There, there.
Mrs. Mills
[Anne finally calms down]
You listen to me. I've seen them too.
Anne
You have?
Anne
[Mrs. Mills nods]
Why don't you tell my mother? Then maybe she'll believe me.
Mrs. Mills
There are things your mother doesn't want to hear. She only believes in what she was taught. But don't worry. Sooner or later... she'll see them. And everything will be different.
Anne
How?
Mrs. Mills
You'll see. There are going to be some big surprises. There are going to be... changes.
Anne
[confused]
Changes?
Mrs. Mills
[Grace is firing at the servants]
Don't trouble yourself, ma'am. Tuberculosis finished us off, more than half a century ago.
Grace Stewart
At first, I couldn't understand what the pillows were doing in my hands and why you didn't move, but then I knew. It had happened. I killed my children. I got the rifle, I put it to my forehead and I pulled the trigger, nothing. And I heard your laughter in the bedroom. You were playing with the pillows as if nothing had happened, and I thought the Lord and his great mercy was giving me another chance. Tell them, don't give up, be strong. Be a good mother but now, but now what does this all mean? Where are we?
Mrs. Mills
Death of a loved one can lead people to do the strangest things.
Grace Stewart
I'm beginning to feel totally cut off from the world.
Grace Stewart
If you see a ghost, you say "hello".
