Mrs. Mills quotes from The Others (2001)

Mrs. Mills

Death of a loved one can lead people to do the strangest things.

Mrs. Mills

Sometimes the world of the living gets mixed up with the world of the dead.

Mrs. Mills

Don't trouble yourself, ma'am. Tuberculosis finished us off, more than half a century ago.

Mrs. Mills

Sooner or later, they will find you.

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.

Mrs. Mills

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

I don't care!

Mrs. Mills

There, there.

Mrs. Mills

You listen to me. I've seen them too.

Anne

You have?

Anne

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

Changes?

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.

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.
