Quotes 

• Giles Redferne : [admonishing Kassandra after stopping her crashing the car]  Let your attention lie before you, not beside you.

  Kassandra : Check this! Some guy from the seventeenth century telling ME how to drive. How quick they learn!

• Flight Attendant : [pointing to Giles' weathervane]  Can I take that for you?

  Giles Redferne : Over my rotting corpse!

• Pastor : Can I ask what your interest is in finding such a book?

  Giles Redferne : Our interest lies in stopping those who would see all good falter. It lies in stopping the powers of misrule from coming of age. It lies in finding that damned book, and thwarting a vile beast of a man who shall not rest until God himself is thrown down, and all of creation becomes Satan's black hell-besmeared farting hole!

  Kassandra : You asked.

• Giles Redferne : So, you fear me.

  Warlock : 'Tis I who others fear.

  Giles Redferne : Not you, the magic.

• Giles Redferne : The alter table, he broked it?

  Kassandra : Yeah, he "broked" it.

• Giles Redferne : [sternly]  Lest you favor throttlings to the ears and face, bear west here.

  Cabbie : [to himself]  They wonder why we hate the Lakers.

• [Kassandra has aged 20 years in a day after being cursed by the Warlock] 

  Kassandra : Why couldn't he just kill me? Nothing could be worse than this!

  Giles Redferne : His very thought.

• Giles Redferne : My boots work best with ground beneath them - DIRECTLY beneath.

• Kassandra : [Having been told the Warlock's true goal]  He scares the crap out of me... and he KNOWS it.

  Giles Redferne : I'll not let him harm you.

  Kassandra : Next time there won't be any spells, no hexes, no potions. Next time, he's gonna kill me.

  Giles Redferne : I'll not let him harm you.

  [He holds out Kassandra's car keys] 

• Giles Redferne : Now, brute, one last time will we play the game out.

• Farmer : Dad? What the devil do you think you're doing? Who are these people?

  Giles Redferne : If there are children present, make them absent.

  Mennonite : Take them, and leave.

  Farmer : Leave? Wait a minute, I got a schedule to keep here. I can't just traipse off and turn this place over to some...

  Mennonite : Listen to me. The horse that sweats in the morning. Cream that sours overnight. You know the signs. We both know.

• Giles Redferne : Let's tarry not!

• Giles Redferne : [to a wounded man]  Meddle not with the dressing.

• Giles Redferne : Of all ingredients used by a witch, the most coveted is human fat. If that fat is cut from an unbaptized male child, there is but one purpose - one thing is will beget.

  Kassandra : I'm listening.

  Giles Redferne : Flying potion.

• Giles Redferne : The spell book. All witches keep grimoires, yet one is indestructible, one is the bible of black magic - the Grand Grimoire. Always witches have lusted for it, and now, here, I find a page - one lone page!

• Giles Redferne : The hammer! Take it! Where you find his tracks, nail the earth deeply!

• Giles Redferne : The warlock holds two parts of the book. This much he confessed. Know you what happens should he gain all three?

  Kassandra : I don't want to know. I don't.

  Giles Redferne : Hidden within that book is the name of God, the lost name of God.

  Kassandra : The lost name of... Huh-uh, I don't wanna hear this.

  Giles Redferne : 'Tis the name invoked during creation. Witches charge that should this name, this true name of God, be uttered back to front...

  Kassandra : I'm not listening.

  Giles Redferne : Should this name be uttered in reverse...

  Kassandra : [fingers in ears]  Blah, blah, bah, blah, blah!

  Giles Redferne : ...all creation will undo. 'Twill reverse.

• Giles Redferne : [bursting into the farmhouse]  Tell me your woes! You are bewitched!

• Kassandra : Hey, you know the Earth is round?

  Giles Redferne : For some time, now!

  Kassandra : Ask me anything, I took two years of high school.
