Laura Pennington
- Laura Pennington: It isn't as if I weren't aware of my ugliness. There's only one thing you've overlooked. Women like me, conscious as we may be of our defects, we find a refuge in our dreams, daydreams as well as night dreams; merciful dreams in which we're as lovely and desirable as the loveliest and most desirable woman in the world. It's cruel to destroy those dreams.
- Laura Pennington: I hoped here where I grew up, I might find... well, I really don't know what it was I wanted to find. A place I belonged, I guess. A place that when I woke up in the morning, I'd be glad it was another day. And when I went to sleep, I'd know that it had meant something to have been away.
- Mrs. Abigail Minnett: Do you know what loneliness is, real loneliness?
- Laura Pennington: [Heavy with sadness] Yes.
- Mrs. Abigail Minnett: I thought you would.
- Mrs. Abigail Minnett: I understand you're looking for a job.
- Laura Pennington: Yes, I am. I suppose I'm really looking for a home.
- Laura Pennington: Mrs. Minnett, there is something about this cottage.
- Mrs. Abigail Minnett: There is, indeed. It needs a good cleaning, right now.
- Laura Pennington: I'm afraid you're just a couple of hundred years too late for witches.
- Danny 'Taxi' Stanton: I guess I'm a couple of hundred years too late for anything.
