• Agnes : Will you show me how it's done? Then I'll know how to go about it.

  Kathleen : Right here?

  Agnes : No. Behind the bushes.

  Kathleen : I don't feel like doing it right now.

  Agnes : I insist you feel like it right now. You're my maid. You'll do as I say.

• Steven : What are you doing in this filthy place? Are you looking for something?

  Agnes : I read a book in the convent library, about love and black magic. There was a passage I found fascinating.

  Steven : What was it about?

  Agnes : A magic root. Mandrake. It grows in a place like this. If a man and a woman eat of it, they will love each other forever.

  Steven : Did it also say why you have to dig in this particular spot?

  Agnes : The nuns inked out that passage very carefully.

  Steven : When a man is hanged, he comes and his semen spills to the ground. That's where your mandrake sprouts.

  Agnes : Explains why the passage was inked out.
