Quotes

add »
Vincent: I've lived here all my life, and yet it's as though I've never seen the city... until tonight.
Catherine: You've seen so much of the violence and the hatred of my world. I wanted you to know that there's beauty as well.
Vincent: Oh... I know that. Ever since the night I found you, Catherine. (edit)
Catherine: Don't leave! She told me that this was a special night, Samhain. When the walls...
Vincent: When the walls between the worlds grow thin, and spirits of the Underworld walk the earth.
Catherine: Vincent, we can't waste it. (edit)
Brigit: We must take what we're given. Three hundred days, a few months...
Catherine: Or a single night. (edit)
Vincent: You wrote that the price of your love had been high, but that you would pay it willingly until the end of your days. That you would change nothing, regret nothing.
Brigit: That's ****** unfair of you, you know. Quotin' me own words back at me again, after I gave you all that good advice! The brain tells you all the sensible things to do, but the heart knows nothin' about sense. And the heart is as stubborn as the Irish. (edit)
Brigit: Will you be tellin' me of her, then?
Vincent: Who?
Brigit: Your lady, the one who's breaking your heart...Ah, you didn't come to me just to say you like me books. Somethin' about Ian and me struck close to home.
Vincent: She brings me... such joy... and such pain. As I have never known. I have no place in her world, she has none in mine. Our bond endangers... everything. People I love, secrets I am sworn to keep, beliefs that I have lived by. (edit)

Trivia

add »
During the scene where Father and Vincent talk about the Halloween stories, Vincent tells Father not to worry and then we see Ron's hand (not Vincents!!!) on Father's shoulder. (edit)
