Quotes7

  • Tom: Two people only hurt each other if they doubt the love they have for one another.
  • Grace: What? What is it?
  • Tom: A man can't really be blamed for being scared, now can he?
  • Grace: No.
  • Tom: No. I was scared, Grace. I used you and I am sorry. I'm stupid, I am, maybe even arrogant sometimes.
  • Grace: You are, Tom.
  • Tom: Although using people is not very charming, I think you have to agree that this - specific illustration has surpassed all expectations. It says so much about being human! It's been painful, but I think you'll also have to agree it's been edifying, wouldn't you say?
  • Grace: Not now, Tom. Not now.
  • [Grace walks away and reenters The Big Man's car]
  • Grace: If there is any town this world would be better without, this is it.
  • Grace: But I've got nothing to offer them in return.
  • Tom: Oh, I think you have plenty to offer Dogville.
  • [after being left the "last man standing"]
  • Tom: Bingo, Grace, bingo. I have to tell you, your illustration, it beat the hell out of mine. It's frightening, yes, but so clear. Do you think I can allow myself to use it as a inspiration in my writing?
  • [the town sits at dinner on the Fourth of July]
  • Ma Ginger: A police car has just been seen in town and it has just made the turn up Canyon Road! So they'll be here any minute.
  • Martha: Should I ring the bell?
  • Tom: No, Martha. Grace probably heard.
  • Tom: I think if Dogville had any significant symbolic meaning it wouldn't have an ordinary name like Dogville.
  • [Tom offers a piece of bread to Grace]
  • Tom: You want to eat? You must be hungry.
  • Grace: I can't. I don't deserve that bread. I stole that bone. I've never stolen anything before. So now, now I have to punish myself. I was raised to be arrogant. So, I... I had to teach myself these things.
  • Tom: Well, it may be for your education. Grace, in this town... In these times... It's very impolite not to eat what's set before you.
