Season of the Witch Quotes

[after Felson and Behmen are thrown into jail]

Felson: What they do with deserters anyway?... Hang them?...

[deeply in thoughts]

Felson: Burn them?

Behmen: Probably both.

Behmen: [preparing for battle] Whomever slays the most men drinks for free.

Felson: I'll take the 300 on the left, you take the 300 on the right.

Behmen: But if we divide them evenly, who will buy tonight's drinks?

Felson: Oh, you're buying, my friend.

Felson: [fighting in the Crusades] You ever get the feeling God has too many enemies?

Behmen: Being His friend is not so easy either.

Felson: [looking at the Girl] Is that the witch?

Behmen: That is not what I see.

Felson: The priest said she confessed.

Behmen: We both know that the Church can be most persuasive.

Felson: [repeating Behmen's words] 'I serve the Church no more.'

[Felson laughs]

Felson: Did you see the priest's face? Looked like someone pissed in his holy water.

Hagamar: [about the Girl] She's watching me.

Debelzaq: Put your mind on something else. She's trying to frighten you.

Hagamar: It's working.

[Behmen is loading a crossbow to kill the Girl]

Debelzaq: Behmen, what are you doing? Behmen! What are you doing?

The Girl: He's doing what comes naturally. Killing the innocent.

Debelzaq: There may be no room in your heart for God, Behmen. But in my heart, I know He would not abandon us. In God's name...

Behmen: No man has spilled more blood in God's NAME, than I. A benevolent God would not ASK such things of men!

[the Girl smiles in delight as she listens]

Debelzaq: But if you kill her, you will not have God to blame. Only yourself.

Debelzaq: Let it be known to all here present, and before God himself, that this woman stands accused of witchcraft! That she has admitted to calling up a plague against all mankind.

The Girl: [smiles] I'm flattered. But I must confess, I have deceived you.

Kay: Behmen... what can I do?

Behmen: Keep her safe.

[last lines]

The Girl: So the plague passed and life returned to the land. There are many who say the plague was but a pestilence that finally broke, like the passing of a fever. They don't know the darkness that almost was. The sacrifices made. The heroes lost. I will tell their story. I was there. I know.

Grandmaster: A thousand lost souls for the fires of hell. A glorious day for the Church.

Behmen: You call this glorious? Murdering women and children?

Grandmaster: Know your place, knight. You pledged your life to the cause.

Behmen: For God. Not for this.

Debelzaq: You swore an oath to God. Have you been released from this vow?

Behmen: My vow is to God. Not the men who murder in His name.

[first lines]

Peasant Girl: No! No... please! I beg you. I beg you. I'm not a witch.

Behmen: We've been walking all day and haven't passed a soul.

Felson: Keep your souls, let me find a chicken.

Felson: What is that smell?

Behmen: That would be you.

Felson: Tell me Behmen, are we going in there to defeat a demon, or to save the girl?

Behmen: Both.

Felson: She's stronger than she looks.

Behmen: Do you believe she's a witch?

Felson: You felt her strength. Would you say it was that of a girl?

Behmen: I've seen girls destroy men without lifting a finger.

Felson: How many times do we have to go over this? It was in FRANCE!
