Louise Rodanthe
- Louise Rodanthe: Aaron! Aaron it... it's his dialect! Lu-ka-luk! He's saying Loup-garou! Werewolf! He's saying werewolf! He says I'm his next victim!
- [after Louise has killed her brother who is a werewolf]
- Louise Rodanthe: Oh, Aaron. He knew. He made me fire at him. He knew. The bullets. He must have had them blessed. He must have done that. He knew. Aaron, look.
- [Andrew has returned his human form]
- Louise Rodanthe: Well?
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: They didn't find him, but they're still at it.
- Louise Rodanthe: Aaron, Aaron, come in here. There's something I want you to see.
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: What is it?
- [She shows him a book]
- Louise Rodanthe: "Lycanthropy and Lycanthrope-Like Diseases."
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: What's lycanthropy?
- Louise Rodanthe: Werewolves.
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: [skeptical] Louise, you don't believe in that...
- Louise Rodanthe: What I believe, what I want to believe is that it's what Andrew said it was, a disease that you can take pills to control. But after what Dr. Druten said and after what happened at the Burrifor house and grandaddy's fits and now this book...
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: Let me see.
- [He reads from the book]
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: many diseases resemble lycanthropy and some of its symptoms. These quasi-lycanthropic diseases are relatively harmless and easily controlled by a series of modern drugs.
- Louise Rodanthe: Well, that's what Andrew said it was, those pills.
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: Lycanthropeia veritum. True lycanthropy may also respond favorably to the same drugs for a time and then the disease develops an immunity to the drug. In true lycanthropy, the victim's yearning for the taste of blood turns him into a most powerful, dangerous and deadly killer. Mythology has it that werewolves are repelled and rendered temporarily harmless by the smell of sulfur. And it is also recorded, though with no scientific basis whatever, that certain person's sensitive, sorcerers, exorcisers of evil, claim to be able to
- Louise Rodanthe: No, no, no. Go on, read it.
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: It's mythology. I'm not interested in mythology.
- Louise Rodanthe: Well, I am.
- [She reads from the book]
- Louise Rodanthe: Claim to be able to see the shape of a pentagram in the hand of the werewolf's next victim.
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: Louise, it's 1972.
- Louise Rodanthe: I heard he looked into Lawrence's hand, just before Andrew killed him.
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: Well, that's what Sara said, but Sara's superstitious...
- Louise Rodanthe: He just looked into mine!
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: Louise, he is your brother.
- Louise Rodanthe: Andrew is a--
- [howling is heard]
- Louise Rodanthe: He's out there.
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: He's in the barn. Stay right there.
- [He shuts the windows]
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: Come on. Come on! Stay here, Louise.
- Louise Rodanthe: Aaron, he tore iron bars out of cement.
- Sheriff Aaron Whitaker: And he was born in this house. Maybe he'll have more respect. And after I leave, lock and shutter this door. Then go in there and lock and bolt that door. And don't leave the room. I don't know what I'll do when I find him, but it won't be what they'll do. Now, don't leave the room. Don't answer the door until you hear it's me, Aaron, saying it's me, all right?
- Louise Rodanthe: Aaron. If he has to be killed... Not their way.
- [He leaves and she locks the door]
