Lucius Hunt There are different types of love.
3rd most-quoted character in The Village (2004): in 12 of its 51 quotes
Most scenes with: Ivy Walker (7), Alice Hunt (3)
My mother is unaware of reasons of my visit today. She did not give her consent or consult me in any form. The passing of little Daniel Nicholson, from illness, and other events have weighed on my thoughts. I ask permission to cross into the forbidden woods and travel to the nearest town. I will gather new medicines, and I will return. With regards to those we don't speak of, I am certain they will let me pass. Creatures can sense emotion and fear. They will see I am pure of intention and not afraid. The end.

When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?
Lucius Hunt Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night.
Lucius Hunt I am not the one with secrets.
What is your meaning?
Lucius Hunt There are secrets in every corner of this village. Do you not feel it? Do you not see it?
And what makes you think that he has feelings for me?
Lucius Hunt The way he never touches you.
Lucius Hunt Sometimes we don't do things, yet others know we want to do things so we don't do them.
What nonsense do you speak?
Lucius Hunt You needn't worry. Nothing will happen to me.
You remind me of a colt sometimes.
Lucius Hunt Be cautious. You are holding the bad color.
[becomes worried, covers the berries with her hands]
This color attracts Those We Don't Speak Of. [to Noah] You ought not pick that color berry anymore.
Lucius Hunt [Noah nods] [In a hushed whisper]
He picked it from his pocket.
Your breathing has changed. What's wrong?
Lucius Hunt [to Noah]
If you did not pick this now, where did you get it?
...
Lucius Hunt [to the elders]
Today at resting rock, Noah Percy handed Ivy Walker berries of the bad color. When asked where he had found these berries, for they were unlike any I have seen, he pointed to the drawing on Resting Rock. It is my knowledge that Noah has traveled into the woods on many occasions. It also confirms my belief that the creatures did not harm Noah because of his innocence, and they would let me through to fetch medicines.
Lucius Hunt Do you not wish you had your sight?
I see the world, Lucius Hunt. Just not as you see it.
How is it that you are so brave while the rest of us shake in our boots?
Lucius Hunt I don't think of what might happen, only what must be done.
Lucius Hunt You run like a boy.
Thank you.
LUCIUS Are you not angry you have no sight?
I see the world, Lucius Hunt. Just not as you see it.
Lucius It is cold outside. You ought to go in.
Why are you on this porch?
LUCIUS It is not safe.
There are other porches. Do you find me too much of a tomboy? I do long to do boy things. Like that game the boys play at the stump. They put their backs to the woods, and see how long they can wait before getting scared. That's so exciting. I understand you hold the record. It will never be broken, they say.
LUCIUS It's just children's games.
How is it you are brave when all the rest of us shake in our boots?
LUCIUS I do not worry about what will happen, only what needs to be done.
