The Wicker Tree Movie Quotes

Sir Lachlan Morrison O blessed sun, our ancestors feared one terrible winter's day that you would set in the western sky, plunging us into perpetual night. And yet you shine upon us still. O glorious sun, accept our sacrifice that we may be fruitful once again. We pray that we may once more hear the sound of children's laughter in our midst.

Steve Thomson [coming across Lolly bathing in a spring naked] You want me to come in?

[she nods]

Steve Thomson [undressing] Oh, what the hell? Sulis, ain't that some kind of goddess?

Lolly How did you know that?

Steve Thomson I saw her on the front of Lachlan's vehicle. She's cute.

Lolly I'm glad you approved of her. I posed for the wee statue. It was a great honor. This is Sulis's sacred spring.

Steve Thomson [wading into the water] Wow, Sulis. You gotta be kidding me about this. This is just some warm water, right?

Lolly You believe a certain virgin had a baby, don't you? Why can't you believe, like I do, that this water has a holy power?

Steve Thomson I believe whatever's written in the Bible, Lolly. That's holy writ.

Lolly Come on, Steve. It'll make you feel out of this world. Are you thinking about Beth? I can let you into a secret. Lachlan wants her to be the May Queen. I think he might like you to be the Laddie. Would you go for that?

Steve Thomson What's the Laddie?

Lolly The Laddie? You've not heard tell of the Laddie? He is the brightest and best, the handsomest, the kindest, the goodest, perhaps the best rider. I have known him to be the best lover.

Lady Delia Morrison [seeing Beth in a classy dress] Ah, so that is what the modern missionaries are wearing these days. Or are you trying to tell us something, Beth?

Beth Boothby Okay, I'll admit it. I'm mad as hell at Steve. But you're throwing a party for me and I plan to enjoy it. Carla made the dress for me to wear after a gig. I don't know why I packed it. It must have been a premonition.

Lady Delia Morrison So, do you plan to forgive Steve? Say, tomorrow? You must remember to err is human; to forgive, divine.

Beth Boothby I'll probably forgive him in half an hour. You know why? Because I love that son of a bitch cowboy.

Steve Thomson [after having sex] I never dreamed it could be like that. Think it might go on forever and ever. Kind of hoping it would.

Lolly I always look for something that I know even Sulis cannot give me: a child. But I know that if it does happen, it will have happened here.

Steve Thomson What do you mean "always"?

Lolly Well, I am what the goddess wants me to be; all things to all men.

Steve Thomson We got a word for that back in Texas, yeah, and it ain't purty. Still, I reckon somehow you're different.

Lolly I'm glad.

[he starts feeling his pockets]

Lolly Lost something?

Steve Thomson Yeah. I guess it don't matter no more. You lost it, you lost it. Ain't no going back.

Lolly [moaning while having sex] I read somewhere that your Italian countrymen... Cesar Borgia... bet his father... the Pope... that he could come... five times during his wedding night... had five horsemen under the window... ooh... and every time he... ooh... ooh...

[climaxing]

Lolly Orlando! Orgasissimo! Oh! Whew.

Orlando Five times?

Lolly Sure. Why not seven? I'm sure you, Orlando, could do it. Italian men are such wonderful lovers. What a great idea. Are you on? Nobody would touch that record.

Orlando You keep records here?

Lolly No, not really. Well, quite informally. You really are a treat, Orlando. Scots and Englishmen can always find their way to the pub, but when it comes to the clitoris, they think it's an island off Greece famous for its ouzo.

Sir Lachlan Morrison Laddie, you are a prince among men, a king. We all, all salute you. You will give your life so that a new generation of our people will be born blessing your name. Children will be called after you. Hallowed be thy name.

Sir Lachlan Morrison They're both perfect. I was afraid we'd have to look further afield this year. What a little star, especially if she can sing. And rather beautiful, too.

Lady Delia Morrison In a corn-fed, apple-cheeks sort of way.

Sir Lachlan Morrison A perfect mate for a cowboy, then.

Lady Delia Morrison Absolutely. I bet she smells of the dairy, a musky bush, milky tits, and just a hint of warm cow shit behind the ears.

Sir Lachlan Morrison So you approve of her, then?

Lady Delia Morrison Oh, and that poor Steve, wearing that ridiculous silver ring and waiting 'til his wedding day. It really is another world over there in America, isn't it?

Sir Lachlan Morrison Lolly's hospitalized the copper.

Lady Delia Morrison Well, I'm afraid we have not been successful with Beth. Magog is dead.

[nonchalantly throwing the dead cat into a garbage can]

Lady Delia Morrison Must have got to the milk. Beth, however, seems to be all right.

Sir Lachlan Morrison Well, Beame, you'd better deal with Miss Beth after breakfast, give her a shot of the usual.

Beame Yes, sir. Beg pardon, sir, but what if she's awake?

Sir Lachlan Morrison Then put her to sleep. Good God, man, how long have we been doing this?

Lady Delia Morrison Oh, pity about Magog. We will miss him.

Sir Lachlan Morrison Yes, well, the mice won't. Beame, get her ready for tomorrow before there are any more mishaps.

Sir Lachlan Morrison Morning, Lolly. How's my Prince today?

Lolly He's been missing you, Sir Lachlan. That's Beth Boothby, isn't it? Whoa.

Sir Lachlan Morrison Delia and I are throwing a special party for her at the manor house on Sunday. Everyone's invited, so spread the word. Beth, of course, is our very special guest. Lolly here is our head groom.

Steve Thomson What a beauty.

Beth Boothby Steve!

Steve Thomson Well, the horse, Beth. If that ain't one beautiful horse.

Sir Lachlan Morrison And, uh, I'm terribly sorry. This is Steve. As you can see, he's from America, too. How would you like to ride him?

Lolly I'd like it fine, but I think young Beth here would kill me first.

Sir Lachlan Morrison And you'd deserve it. You know very well I'm asking Steve if he'd like to ride Prince.

Steve Thomson Ride that horse? Are you kidding me? You bet.

Sir Lachlan Morrison I'll tell you what I believe. If I am a rabbi... Jevovah is my god. If I am a Mullar... Allah the merciful is he. If I was a Christian... Jesus is my lord. Here in Tressock, I believe the old religion of the Celts fits are needs at this time. Isn't that all you could ask of religion?

Sir Lachlan Morrison Our wonderful Laddie... Steve was chosen for his inate goodness, he is our gift to the gods... and they will love him forever... and reward us with renewed life here in Tressock. Now ladies and gentlemen it is my...
