Sleepy Hollow quotes

Your son's a lawyer. You must be very proud.

Ichabod Crane

To begin, let us agree that through neither your fault nor mine, I was not the most involved father.

Oh, my. Is this to be an attempt to start over? Are you going to take me down to the fishing hole?

Ichabod Crane

I'm afraid, sadly, you underestimate the good in people.

"Afraid"? You haven't begun to know fear. Or sadness. I'm glad you survived that box I put you in, so that you, too, can witness first hand people's true nature. Well, if you ever need an attorney, look me up. I'm building quite a client list, but I can always make room for family.

Ichabod Crane

Sheriff Reyes, I have tried to cooperate, but this country was founded by men who fought for nothing if not individual liberty, forged by the blood of men who refused to bow to a tyrant's will, and as I stand in this public house of law and order, built to defend that very liberty, I declare: I'm well within my rights to be here.

Don't bother engaging the Horseman of War. Your son is beyond your reach.

Katrina Crane

Is he?

What are you playing at now?

Katrina Crane

Don't you see? He's moved into Fredericks Manor, the house he was born in. He could choose any house, and yet he chooses to move back into the house where I gave him life. He wants a connection to me. He is connected to me. He always will be.

I've never lied to you, Captain.

Frank Irving

A lie of omission is still a lie. You are the biblical Horseman of War. You didn't think that was relevant?

The signs were all there. You chose to look the other way. People usually do when it suits.

Nicholas Hawley?

Nick Hawley

Only my mother and people with warrants call me that.

Ichabod Crane

Oh, look! She comes bearing a selection of delicacies from the Far East.

Abbie Mills

Commonly known as Yummy Food Schezuan.

[to Katrina] The coming apocalypse is a certainty. Your only chance of weathering the storm is by my side.

Katrina Crane

I know what you desire.

And you know that I want you to make that choice willingly. But I will not wait forever.

I relish any chance to cause my parents pain.

Nick Hawley

It was my first real, live monster.

Abbie Mills

You deal in supernatural armaments, Hawley?

Nick Hawley

Do people who sell Christmas trees all believe in Santa Claus?

Ichabod Crane

To George Washington, Commander of the American Armies, who, like Joshua of old, commanded the sun and moon stand still, and both obeyed.

Abbie Mills

Namaste. You guys definitely had better toasts.

Ichabod Crane

Oh, that one was Franklin's. Much as I begrudge his posthumous fame, the man was an unrivaled reveler.

Frank Irving

I'm not a monster like you.

Those who fight monsters should see to it that in the process, they do not become one. When one gazes long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes back, doesn't it, Captain?

[to Abbie and Jenny] Violence. Always violence or order with you two.

Ichabod Crane

You shotten herring! You are a scurvy louse. You are a slop bucket. You are a puss sludge, no good, by-blow pair of buns!

Abbie Mills

Are you gaming online?

Ichabod Crane

I'm not entirely sure. One thing I know is that my allies and I had just obliterated the largest horde of rabid zombies I'd ever encountered, and then, suddenly, out of nowhere "ChiefWiggum49" and "Haloismybitch12" decided to frag me.
