Baltus Van Tassel: If you are wise, you will leave this place!
Baltus Van Tassel: The horseman was a Hessian mercenary sent to the shores by German Princess to keep Americans under the yoke of England. But unlike his compatriots, who came for money, the horseman came for love of carnage.
Baltus Van Tassel: [to Ichabod] Young sir, you are most welcome, even if you are selling something.
Brom Van Brunt: We haven’t heard your name yet, friend.
Ichabod Crane: I have not yet said it.
But….it was a headless horseman!
Come out, Devil!
Do you think me wicked?
Five victims in four graves!
Good-bye, Ichabod Crane. I curse the day you came to Sleepy Hollow.
He rides, to the Hollow and back, I hear him, I smel the blood on him.
He rode a gaint black steed named Daredevil . He was infamous for riding his horse hard into battle . Chopping off heads at a full gallop . He filed his teeth down , to add the the fericity of his appearence . This buthcher , didn’t finally meet his end until the winter of ’76 . Not far from here in our western woods……… They cut off his head with his own sword . Even today the western woods is a strange place whee brave men will not venture . For what was planted in the ground that day :Was a seed of evil . And so it has been for twenty years , but now the hessiam awakes . He is on the rampage : Cutting off heads wherever he finds them .
Head found…..DECAPITATED!
How often do I have to tell you? There is no horseman, never was a horseman, and never will be a horseman!
I am pinioned by a chain of reasoning!
I have found something! which was lately.. a man..
I have shed my tears for Brom… and yet my heart is not broken. Do you think me wicked?
I should like to say : I make no assumptions about your occupations , nor your ways witch.. which which are nothing to me .
I stand up for sense and justice.
Ichabod Crane: It was a headless horseman!
Baltus Van Tassel: You must not excite yourself.
Ichabod Crane: But it was a headless horseman!

Baltus Van Tassel: I know, I know.
Ichabod Crane: You don’t know because you were not there! It’s all true!
Baltus Van Tassel: Of course it is. I told you. Everyone told you.
Ichabod Crane: I…saw him.
[faints]
Ichabod Crane: Katrina, I might have killed you. Why have you come?
Katrina Anne Van Tassel: Because no one else would go with you.
Ichabod Crane: I am now twice the man, and it is your white magic.
Ichabod Crane: Katrina, why are you in my room?
Katrina Anne Van Tassel: Because it is yours.
Ichabod Crane: The millennium is almost upon us. In a few months, we will be living in the nineteenth century. But our courts continue to rely on medieval devices of torture.

[Pulls a pendant off of The Magistrate’s neck]
Ichabod Crane: What is that thing?
Samuel Philipse: It’s my talisman. It protects me from the Horseman.
Ichabod Crane: [opens the book] It was your mother’s?
Katrina Anne Van Tassel: Keep it close to your heart. It’ll show protection against harm.
Ichabod Crane: Are you so certain of everything
Ichabod Crane: [to the Western Woods Crone] I should like to say that I make no assumptions about your occupation nor your ways which…which…which…which nothing to me what if you are.
In headless corpse cases , the head is removed to prevent identification of the body But we KNOW it was Jonathon Masbeth Precisly , so why was the head removed ? WHy ?
Right !
It is truth . But truth is not always apearence .
It was an evil spirit possessed you. I pray God it is satisfied now, and that you find peace. The Evil Eye has done its work. My life is over — spared for a lifetime of horrors in my sleep, waking each day to grief. Good bye Katrina…
It’s ok, I am here now.
Katrina Anne Van Tassel: Good-bye, Ichabod Crane. I curse the day you came to Sleepy Hollow

Ichabod Crane: Because you have bewitched me.
Katrina Anne Van Tassel: I think you have no heart. And I had a mind once to give you mine.
Katrina Anne Van Tassel: Is it Theodore?
Ichabod Crane: No, pardon Miss, I am only a stranger.
Katrina Anne Van Tassel: Then have a kiss on account.
Keep it close to your heart. It is sure protection against harm.
Kill it! No, no, stun it!
Lady Van Tassel: Dear step daughter… You look as if you’ve seen a ghost!
Lady Van Tassel: The first part was the easiest. To enter your home as your mother’s sick-nurse and send her body into the grave while my own into your father’s marriage bed.
Lady Van Tassel: The Horseman comes! And tonight he comes for you!
Lady Van Tassel: Watch your heads!
Most came for the money but he came for the love of carnage.
Most came for the money. He came for the love of carnage.
Murder needs no ghosts come from the grave. The assassin is a man of flesh and blood and I will discover him.
