The Devil's Backbone quotes

  • [repeated line]

    Santi: Many of you will die.

    Santi: [to Carlos touching his face] Bring Jacinto To Me

  • [last lines]

    Casares: [Carlos weeping over Casares returns his rifle to his side or lap as Jamie forces Carlos to get going]

    [voice over narration]

    Casares: What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again? An instant of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect trapped in amber. A ghost is me.

    [last lines]

    Casares: [Owl is carried out by Jamie followed by Galvez using his spear as a crutch to join those others left]

    [narrating from beyond the grave]

    Casares: A Ghost

    [last to leave is Carlos looking back]

    Casares: That Is What I Am

    [Casarers now a ghost is at the doorway observing them heading out to the horizon]
