THE VILLAGE (2004) SENTENCE STARTERS
ā We came here to start anew. We are grateful for the time we have been given. ā
ā Everything need not be said with such drama. ā
ā It is a warning of doom to come. ā
ā Is it possible, in your haste, you have missed the simplest explanation? ā
ā Does anyone have further questions pertaining to our immediate doom? ā
ā That is the most Iāve heard you speak in many years combined. ā
ā I have great reverence for the word āloveā. It should not be thrown about lightly. ā
ā It would be prudent to keep our deal a secret. Can you do that? ā
ā We ought not return right away. What shall we do with our stolen time? ā
ā Some people, just a handful mind you, give off the tiniest color. Itās faint, like a haze. ā
ā Sometimes we donāt do things we want to do, so that others wonāt know we want to do them. ā
ā Society survives on greed, and desire. Its heart is fed by wants. It has no place for something so untradable and old fashioned as contentment. ā
ā There are secrets in every corner of this village. Do you not feel it? Do you not see it? ā
ā Are you okay? Your quiet is a different quiet than your usual quiet. ā
ā I think it is noble, but I do not this it is right. ā
ā May we stop speaking of this? It is putting knots in my stomach. ā
ā Heāll come back to make sure weāre safe. ā
ā Donāt let them in! ā
ā I myself wonder if this simple way of life can go on. If it was meant too⦠ā
ā You are fearless in a way, I shall never know. ā
ā How is it you are brave when all the rest of us shake in our boots? ā
ā I do not worry about what will happen. Only what needs to be done. ā
ā When we are married, will you dance with me? ā
ā Why can you not say what is in your head? ā
ā Why must you lead, when I want to lead? ā
ā If I want to dance, I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak, I will open my mouth and speak. ā
ā Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? ā
ā What good is it to tell you, you are in my every thought from the time I wake? ā
ā What gain can rise from my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? ā
ā I fear for your safety before all others. ā
ā And yes I will dance with you on our wedding night. ā
ā 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 I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise from my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? I fear for your safety before all others. And yes I will dance with you on our wedding night. ā
ā One love to sacrifice another love is not right. ā
ā There is nothing you can do that would sacrifice my love for you. ā
ā It is amazing to witness which two people love chooses to unite. It follows no rules. ā
ā If he dies, all that is life to me will die with him. ā
ā Money can be a wicked thing. It can turn menās hearts blackā¦Good menās hearts. ā
ā I tell you this, so you will understand some of the reasons for my actions and the actions of others. ā
ā You are a strong one. You lead when others would follow. You see light when there is only darkness. I trust you among all others. ā
ā Do your very best not to scream. ā
ā Do not be frightened. It is only farce. ā
ā There did exist rumors of creatures in these woods. ā
ā You are to tell no one in the towns where we are and return with haste. ā
ā Are you ready to take on this burden, which, by right, is yours and yours alone? ā
ā I am guilty. I made a decision of the heart. ā
ā It is too painful! I cannot bear it! ā
ā I hope I am always able to risk everything for the right and just cause. ā
ā If we did not make this decision - we could never again call ourselves innocent. ā
ā The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe. ā
ā Do not pretend you do not feel it. There is something in these woods. It turns my stomach to rot. ā
ā It is for love that I am here! I beg you to let me pass! ā
ā His will to live is very strong. ā
