Sam Neill credited as playing...
Alisdair Stewart
- Stewart: [to George Baines] She said, "I have to go, let me go, let Baines take me away, let him try and save me. I am frightened of my will, of what it might do, it is so strange and strong".
- Flora: She says its her piano and she won't have him touch it. He's an oaf. He can't read. He's ignorant.
- Stewart: He wants to improve himself. And you'll be able to play it. Teach him how to look after it. You can't go on like this. We're a family now. We all make sacrifices and so will you! You will teach him and I will see to it!
- Stewart: [to George Baines] She has spoken to me. I heard her voice. There was no sound, but I heard it here. Her voice was there in my head. I watched her lips, they did not make the words, yet the harder I listened the clearer I heard her, as clear as I hear you, as clear as I hear my own voice.
- Stewart: What would you think if someone played a kitchen table like it were a piano?
- Aunt Morag: Like it were a piano?
- Stewart: It's strange isn't it? I mean it's not a piano, it doesn't make any sound.
- Aunt Morag: No, no sound.
- Stewart: I knew she was mute, but now I'm thinking it's more than that. I'm wondering if she's not brain affected.
- Aunt Morag: No sound at all?
- Stewart: No, it was a table.
