Lilli : Trying to be funny?
Will : I was just wondering what it would take to make a princess smile.
[he touches her face and she moves away]
Lilli : I'm not a princess.
Will : What are you then?
Lilli : I'm the daughter of Friedrich Hoffman.
Will : Ah, so you're nothing more than a name.
Lilli : What right do you have to say that? You know nothing about me.
Will : I know enough of your kind.
Lilli : How could you know anything about anyone, you live like an animal; you hide out like a criminal.
Will : And what are you doing princess, is this some holiday you're taking?
Lilli : My father will find me -
Will : Where is this great father of yours? How come he hasn't rescued you?
Lilli : He'll find me, I know it!
[quietly]
Will : What if he doesn't?
[pause]
Lilli : I don't like the way you speak to me.
Will : How would you have me speak?
Lilli : Like a civilized gentleman, and not some savage -
[he slams her up against a pillar with his hand at her throat]
Will : That is a word I will not bear from the lips of any man or woman. The last time I heard that word spoken, it was by one of your so-called gentlemen, and there was nothing gentle about it. Or civilized.
Lilli : Let go of me!
[faintly mocking]
Will : Why?
Lilli : Because you frighten me.
[he looks haunted and releases her]

Claudia Hoffman : You seem quite alive, for a little wench who's been rotting in the ground. I felt you stir. The moment you took your first breath, it was like a knife in my heart.
Lilli : You have no heart.
Claudia Hoffman : That's too simple.

[Will is having a nightmare]
Lars : He dreams of fire. They tied him to a stake, then burned his family while he watched. And then they placed a red-hot cross of iron across his face, because he would not repent.
Lilli : What was his crime?
Lars : He would not fight for their cause.
Lilli : Who were they?
Lars : Crusaders for the Church. Men of God.
[pause]
Lars : My face, it frightens you?
Lilli : Yes.
Lars : Scares me, too.

Will : Never look a raven in the eye for too long. Might steal your soul and fly away with it.
Lilli : Why are you staring at me?
Will : It hadn't occurred to me to look anywhere else.
Lilli : It's very rude.
Will : It's one of my better habits.
Lilli : I take it you have no manners, then.
Will : No manners then... and no manners now.
Lilli : Trying to be funny?
