Quotes 

• Paul Authie : Stealing ancient artifacts is a serious criminal offense.

  Alice Tanner : I know that.

  Paul Authie : So? Stop telling lies.

  Alice Tanner : I haven't lied.

  Paul Authie : You claim to have discovered a ring in the cave, but no ring has been found. No one else has seen this mysterious ring, so we have two options. Either you were mistaken, or you took it. Which is it?

  Alice Tanner : Why would I mention it at all if I was going to steal it? And Shelagh will back me up. Ask her.

  Paul Authie : She says she knows nothing of any ring.

  Alice Tanner : I told her all about it. She went into the cave herself.

  Paul Authie : She went into the cave?

  Alice Tanner : Yes, she did.

  Paul Authie : Your bag, please.

  Yves Biau : What?

  Paul Authie : [grabbing her purse before she can reach it, he empties the contents]  Search her.

  Alice Tanner : You have no right to search me.

  Yves Biau : She's right. Let's go. Let's go!

  [leaving] 

  Yves Biau : You shouldn't talk to her like that. You shouldn't even be here.

  Paul Authie : If I want your opinion, Biau, I'll ask for it. Remember who you really work for.

• Yves Biau : I am Detective Yves Biau. This is Monsieur Paul Authie, a lawyer from Carcassonne. We have some questions. I understand you're not a professional archaeologist?

  Alice Tanner : I'm a teacher. Shelagh O'Donnell's an old friend. She invited me to join the dig for a few days.

  Yves Biau : So, you're on holiday.

  Alice Tanner : Uh, no, not exactly. A relative in Carcassonne left me a few things in her will, but I wanted to come here first.

  Paul Authie : What things?

  Alice Tanner : I don't know yet. I'm seeing the lawyer tomorrow.

  Paul Authie : Most people would be curious to discover their inheritance, yet you waste your time here first. Why?

  Alice Tanner : The lawyer's been away, and I don't consider my time here wasted.

  Paul Authie : Or is the truth that you have a particular reason for being here?

  Alice Tanner : If you must know, I've just had a really bad breakup with my boyfriend, and I wanted to get away for a while.

  Paul Authie : I am not interested in your personal life, Madamoiselle Tanner.

  Alice Tanner : Might I ask what your role is in this investigation, then?

  Paul Authie : No, you may not. Just answer my questions, please.

• Will Franklyn : So you don't know why this cop sent you here.

  Alice Tanner : No. Uh, he just told me that I should tell Madame de L'oradore everything I know about the cave.

  Will Franklyn : What cave?

  Alice Tanner : Doesn't matter. Look, I really don't know why I came. I-I thought she might know something, that's all.

  Will Franklyn : I mean, I can just call her right now. Even if she's in a meeting...

  Alice Tanner : No, no, no, there's no need. Just-just tell her I came by. But I should go. I've taken up enough of your time.

• Karen Fleury : Her will is perfectly straightforward. You can visit the house whenever you like.

  Alice Tanner : The house?

  Karen Fleury : Your aunt's house. Well, your house now. That was her legacy to you.

  Alice Tanner : I was expecting a few family heirlooms, and, like, jewelry, maybe, but her house? Why me?

  Karen Fleury : You were her only living relative. Beyond that, I couldn't say.

  [giving her the keys] 

  Karen Fleury : If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call.

• Alice Tanner : I didn't expect to hear from you again.

  Will Franklyn : Listen, did you find your friend yet?

  Alice Tanner : No.

  Will Franklyn : Um... well, maybe I can help. I mean, to be honest, I could use someone to talk to.

  Alice Tanner : Okay. Sure. I'm in... I'm in Carcassonne.

  Will Franklyn : All right, just text me your address, and then, uh... I'll let you know when I'm on the way.

  Alice Tanner : Look, I should warn you that... something really weird is happening to me right now.

  Will Franklyn : I can do weird.

• Will Franklyn : So, what's going on with you?

  Alice Tanner : I'm having... an 800-year-old deja vu.

  Will Franklyn : Okay.

  Alice Tanner : I don't know. You probably think I'm mad.

  Will Franklyn : I don't think you're mad.

  Alice Tanner : I keep seeing this girl from the past. Sometimes she's in my dreams. Sometimes she's standing right in front of me. Earlier, I was in the church, and I saw her. She came towards me. She was looking at me straight in the eyes. She was upset, but... it-it felt like she was in danger. And it feels like maybe I am, too. I don't know. And this stuff with... with Biau, the policeman. The fact he was killed, and-and the visions. It feels like it's linked.

  Will Franklyn : [showing her a newspaper article]  This guy was murdered yesterday.

  Alice Tanner : And?

  Will Franklyn : Marie-Cecile was one of the last people to see him alive. So if you're right about this cop, then that's two dead people in 24 hours with a direct connection to her.

  Alice Tanner : You really believe she's connected to this?

  Will Franklyn : She's been acting a little strange recently. And to be honest, I don't... I don't really know anything about her. And I need to find out.

• Will Franklyn : I came to Paris to write a new book. We met at a gallery, and she said I should hang in Toulouse for a while.

  Alice Tanner : And here you are.

  Will Franklyn : Here I am.

  Alice Tanner : Could I have read any of your books?

  Will Franklyn : That's "book," singular. And, uh, if you have, you'd be in a pretty exclusive club. It only sold 500 copies.

  Alice Tanner : That doesn't mean it isn't good.

  Will Franklyn : Thank you.

• Will Franklyn : They call 'em roads to Jerusalem. Catholic penitents would walk these labyrinths to the center, symbolizing a growing closeness to God. There's a famous labyrinth in Chartres cathedral. Apparently, it's rumored the Holy Grail is buried underneath.

  Alice Tanner : Well, has anyone ever looked?

  Will Franklyn : And risk finding out it's not there? No, that'd be bad for business.

• Alice Tanner : You might have warned me that archaeology is really, really boring.

  Shelagh O'Donnell : I did. You just weren't listening.

  Alice Tanner : Listen, Shelagh, I... I really don't know what I would have done without you.

  Shelagh O'Donnell : It's okay. You'd have done the same for me.

  Alice Tanner : No. I'd have given you a bottle of wine and put on "Bridget Jones".

  Shelagh O'Donnell : [laughing]  What do you think we're doing tonight?

• Alice Tanner : There was a pain in my side like I'd been stabbed. I-I saw the blood. There was... there was a fire. People screaming. And a woman. I... I felt like I knew her.

  Chris Brayling : You were hallucinating. You need to see a doctor when you get home.

  Shelagh O'Donnell : What the hell were you doing in there? Alice, suppose there'd been a tremor. You could have been trapped.

  Chris Brayling : This is what comes from having amateurs on a dig.

  Alice Tanner : [he leaves]  He seems upset.

  Shelagh O'Donnell : Are you surprised? Alice, you've contaminated the site. And what the hell were you thinking? And the police are swarming all over the place.

  Alice Tanner : Police? Why?

  Shelagh O'Donnell : The bodies, Alice. The skeletons.

  Alice Tanner : I just picked up a ring, that was all.

  Shelagh O'Donnell : I didn't find any ring.

  Alice Tanner : I dropped it.

  Shelagh O'Donnell : Where, exactly?

  Alice Tanner : I don't know.

  Shelagh O'Donnell : Try to think. It's important.

  Alice Tanner : I don't remember.
