Noah Percy: They're coming. Noah Percy: [near-hysterical, laughing and sobbing] ... Bad color! Bad, bad color! Bad c-color...! Kitty Walker: [whispering] Don't let them in! Brown-Eyed Girl: Heed the warning bell, for they are coming. Finton Coin: Thank you, Lucius. You're a good friend. Jay (M. Night Shyamalan): Do not get into conversations. Beatrice: It is amazing what two people love chooses to unite. It follows no rules.

Kitty: I'm in love! I want your permission to marry, Papa! Edward: There's a proper manner in which these things are supposed to happen, such as the boy would normally be standing next to you, in a moment such as this! Where is the boy in all this, Kitty?! Kitty: I haven't spoken to him as of yet. Edward: The young man is unaware of your intentions?!

Ivy: Noah Percy come here this minute. You must go into the quiet room. Noah: No, no I'll cry quarts. Ivy: If you will not go into the quiet room we must strike a deal. Noah: Capital idea. Ivy: You must promise never to hit anyone ever again. Noah: No, no hitting. Ivy: Do you promise to keep this deal secret? Noah: Like a church mouse. Ivy: The deal is struck.

Ivy: [after Noah hands her some red berries] Oh, berries! What a splendid present! Lucius: Be cautious. You are holding the bad color. Ivy: [becomes worried, covers the berries with her hands] This color attracts Those We Don't Speak Of. [to Noah] You ought not pick that color berry anymore. Lucius: [in a hushed whisper] He picked it from his pocket. Ivy: Your breathing has changed. What's wrong? Lucius: [to Noah] If you did not pick this now, where did you get it? Lucius: [to the elders] Today at Resting Rock, Noah Percy handed Ivy Walker berries of the bad color. When asked where he found these berries, for they were not like others I have seen, he pointed to the drawing upon Resting Rock. It is my belief that Noah Percy has entered the woods, and has done so on many occasions. It is also my belief that because of his innocence those creatures who reside in the woods did not harm him. This strengthens my feeling that they will let me pass if the sense I am not a threat.

Lucius: You run like a boy. Ivy: Thank you.

Lucius: It is cold outside. You ought to go in. Ivy: Why are you on this porch? Lucius: It is not safe. Ivy: There are other porches...Do you find me too much of a tomboy? I do long to do boy things. Like that game the boys play at the stump. They put their backs to the woods, and see how long they can wait before getting scared. It's so exciting. I understand you hold the record. It will never be broken, they say. Lucius: It's just children's games. Ivy: How is it you are brave when all the rest of us shake in our boots? Lucius: I do not worry about what will happen, only what needs to be done.
