The Rider : Why do you run, boy?
Will Stanton : Who are you? What do you want?
The Rider : The Sign.
Will Stanton : I don't know what you're talking about.
The Rider : Are you frightened of me? You should be, Will. I'm very angry. All this time it was you. Give me the Sign.
Will Stanton : What Sign?
The Rider : Give it me now!
Will Stanton : I don't know what you're talking about.
The Rider : You've escaped me once before. A mistake I won't repeat. Now, give me the Sign.
Dawson : Leave him be.
Merriman Lyon : Leave the boy alone, Rider. You can't fight us all. You're not strong enough.

Merriman Lyon : Walk with us, Will.
Will Stanton : Where?
Merriman Lyon : Through time.

The Rider : A thousand years of waiting and what was there to show? Nothing! Nothing but a boy who could not do what was asked of him. Generations of hope and promise, all a waste. You know, I have something here you might recognize. Once before I made you an offer, Will. Now here it is again. Give me the signs and the boy will live.
Will Stanton : I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid to die!
The Rider : Who says it's you?

Will Stanton : [after his mom leaves, the Rider takes off his glasses; through his teeth and low] Leave me alone!
The Rider : These old fools would have you do work that they can't, but they haven't told you that you'll fail. Now, give me the Signs, Will.
Will Stanton : I never forget those who stand with me. Nor those who stand against.
The Rider : I don't have what you want.

The Rider : [to Maggie] The boy is more capable than I thought. Return to him, bring me the signs, and you will never age.

The Rider : Do you want to ever go home with them again? Give me the Signs and they will live. Give me the Signs, Will.

The Rider : Now let water finish what ice has begun.
John Stanton : Stay together. It's just water.

Will Stanton : Tom?
The Rider : Yes. Poor little Tom. The lone twin. My prisoner these last fourteen years. Imagine how he misses his dear twin brother.
Merriman Lyon : Resist him, Will! You are Will Stanton! You are the Seeker!
The Rider : Give them to me.
Will Stanton : No!
The Rider : Then your time is at an end.
