David Holm: What can I do? What are the words, the prayer - the words?

[prays]

David Holm: A sinner whose lips are stained with wickedness, asks, beseeches - Oh, break me, crush me, only save these three innocent ones!
David Holm: Forgive, forgive me.
[last lines]

Mrs. Holm: I can't help crying too. I won't be truly happy until all my sorrow is drained.

David Holm: Lord, please let my soul come to maturity before it is reaped.
David Holm: I want to be good, but no one believes me. Is it any wonder I cry?
[first lines]

Maria: Don't fret over those poor souls now, Sister Edit. You've done enough for them.

Edit: Send for David Holm!
Georges: Remember that it's New Year's Eve, the last day of the year! Whoever dies on this eve must drive Death's carriage.
Georges: There is an old, old carriage... It is no ordinary driver who holds the reigns, for he's in the service of a strict master named Death. For him, a single night is as long as 100 years on Earth. Night and day he must carry out his master's business.
Georges: There is no escape. He must perform his forlorn duty.
Georges: Though horse and carriage are alwatys the same, the driver is not. The last soul to die each year - the one who passes over at the stroke of midnight - is destined to be Death's driver for the following year.
Edit: You see that I'm not afraid of you. I will gladly heed your summons, but grant me a day's reprieve, for there is someone I must talk sense into.
Georges: [calling forth the soul of Edit] Captive, ye of loving heart, come forth from thy prison!
David Holm: You should take me to the hospital in your carriage as quickly as you can.

Georges: No living soul rides in that carriage. By the time I arrive, it's too late for a doctor. You know full well that I am no longer among the living.
Edit: It is Death, but he has come too soon.
David Holm: [to a coughing woman] Why turn away so carefully? I'm a consumptive myself, but I cough in people's faces in hopes of finishing them off. Why should they be better off than us?

Edit: He's merely amusing himself. He's not as wicked as he pretends to be.
Georges: I would grant you that reprieve if it would avail you. But you have no power over this man!
Georges: You know, David, if I could send a message to mankind, I would send them a New Year's greeting. I would like them to dwell on a single New Year's prayer: 'Lord, please let my soul come to maturity before it is reaped.'
Georges: Yes, David. I see what's coming. I'm obliged to watch. I do not shirk my duty.

(9/10) 1. Sjostrom's most representative work, the second exposure recorded in film history, the cold and warm colors distinguish the scene, the flashback and flashback make the story rich and full, the director's own performance is very superb, the restoration The soundtrack after the release is excellent. 2. Confession and redemption, continue to write personal life with ancient legends, and tell the story of flashbacks that continue to deepen the confession-style "memoirs". 3. The source of inspiration for the axe splitting the door in "The Shining", inspired Bergman's "Wild Strawberry" and "The Seventh Seal". 4. Compared with Bergman and Kubrick's despair all the way to the end, Sjostrom believes more in the light of human nature, which can eventually be redeemed.
