Quotes 

  • The Stranger : I want a couple of hamburgers, and I'd like them raw.

  • The Stranger : [suddenly grabs her arm]  They send you to take me back?

    Jane : [frightened]  No. Who?

    The Stranger : [cautiously looks over his shoulder]  Don't you know? The people who lock you up.

    Jane : [emphatically]  Oh, no. Of course not.

    The Stranger : [with suspicious, narrow-eyed look]  How do I know I can trust you?

    Jane : [nervously]  Well, they... they, they wouldn't send a woman, would they?

    The Stranger : [with relieved happiness]  No.

    [laughs] 

    The Stranger : No, they... they wouldn't send a woman.

    [laughs, then continues dispassionately] 

    The Stranger : The only person who ever was kind to me was a woman. She's dead now.

    Jane : Oh... Why? Why do they want to lock you up?

    The Stranger : [matter-of-factly]  Oh, so they can hurt me. They... they put you in a shirt with, uh... long sleeves and... they pour ice water on you.

  • The Stranger : [to Jane, in dark street]  Come along... and I'll see that nothing happens to you.
