Le chaperon rouge

Solomon: Do you know how you kill a tiger, Father Auguste? You tie up your best goat and wait.

Suzette: I didn't love your father when we were first married. I was in love with another man. But I came to love your father. And he gave me two beautiful daughters.

Suzette: I know what a woodcutter earns. Henry's her only hope for a better life. If you love her, you'll let her go.

[first lines]
The Reeve: Full moon. Lock up tonight.
[to the little girl who gives the offered pig a sad look:]
The Reeve: Better the wolf takes the pig than you.
Valerie: [narrating] We lived on the edge of a dark forest. Few knew our village by name, but many had heard of the terrible things that happened there. My mother always told me, "Don't talk to strangers. Go get water, and come straight home." I tried to be a good girl and do what she said.
Young Peter: Valerie!
[come to lead her off on another escapade]
Valerie: Believe me, I tried.

[last lines]
Valerie: It was the most brutal winter I could remember. With time, my mother finally realized that Father would never return. Henry found his courage. He chose a life of honor, protecting us from darkness.
Valerie: Daggerhorn fell back into its old rhythms. The wolf didn't come back. But the village still lived in fear. It was the only life they knew.
Valerie: I could no longer live there. I felt more freedom in the shadows of the forest. To live apart carries its own dangers. But of those I am less afraid.

Valerie: [narrating] I know good girls aren't supposed to hunt rabbits or go into the woods alone. But since we were kids, he always had a way of making me wanna break the rules.

Solomon: [re the wolf's head put on a pike] When a werewolf dies, it returns to its human form. That is... just a... a common gray wolf. Your werewolf...
[long pause]
Solomon: is still very much alive!

Solomon: The wolf is someone in this village who wants you, Valerie. Do you know who it is?

Solomon: [after putting to death wolf-bitten guard] A man bitten... is a man cursed!

Wolf Voice: Valerie... Step across the gate, or I'll destroy this village. *Come* with me before the sun rises. Make your decision.
[growls]
Valerie: I won't let you destroy my home. I'll go with you...
Henry: Don't, Valerie! No!
Valerie: ... if you promise to leave them alone.
