We saw you die in that cell.
Yeah. Not my best day.
I am running out of rope with which to hang myself.
You wanted proof.
Honestly, I wanted it to be a lie.
I can hardly believe Jefferson foresaw holding a headless man prisoner.
He foresaw holding the worst type of dæmons that may walk the earth. A product, no doubt, of his years trying to reason with the French.
Katrina, I know an arranged marriage is not the stuff of fairy tales, but Abraham's from a good family, and he loves you.
I do not love him. I never have. My heart belongs to another.
I cannot betray my friend.
This isn't about you, dear Ichabod. This is my life. I am breaking off the engagement because it isn't right for me.
There are consequences.
As there were when you turned your back on England, remember? All of this, it's the remnants of a life we are fighting to leave behind. I do not wish to go to the effort of creating an independent country only to have it dictated by the same senseless customs as our motherland. If and when I marry, it will be out of love. Otherwise, I know not what I'm fighting for.
[the house comes to life]
Not to be an alarmist…
But we're in a damn haunted house!
[looks at a warped image of himself in a mirror at a fair] What kind of torture is this? Since when did irony become the nation's pastime?
It seems we've been relegated to the part of 'gongoozler', you and I.
Good day. This is Captain Ichabod Crane, Esquire. If you will be so kind, please leave your name, rank, and an address where I may reach you, and I will return this correspondence in a timely manner. And now, what do I press? Pound? What's pound?
[reading text] On my way. Colon, close parentheses. Oh, it's a man's face. I suppose that's…charming.
I'm not blaming you, Lieutenant. It's these telecommunication companies overwhelming the populace with their ostentatious advertisements. They're coercing the consumer into purchasing countless 'system updates'. It's an abuse of capitalism and certainly not the vision behind our laissez-faire market.
Remarkable stitching. An old flame of mine was a seamstress. She'd be most impressed.
Who'd you date? Betsy Ross?
How did you know that?
I can cross 'fighting a dæmon' from my bucket list.
Nice teeth.
Gold, ivory, and lead. They were the envy of every man in Virginia. I'm not sure how Martha felt about them.
How're you both here? You're dead.
Dead? Shoot! Why doesn't anyone ever tell me these things?
