The Masque of the Red Death (1964)

David Davies: Lead Villager

Quotes 

• Gino : Don't grovel to him. Don't let him delight in the destruction of your souls.

  Lead Villager : I wish to save our bodies. The few left of us.

  Gino : Do you expect any plea to move his heart? If we must die, let's die like human beings.

  Lead Villager : You have not seen the Red Death.

  Gino : And you've not seen the dungeons of Prospero.

• Prospero : What do you want?

  Lead Villager : Mercy, great prince. This is all that is left of us. And the winter it comes and the freezing wind, there is no shelter.

  Prospero : Then dig a burrow as the fox and rabbits do.

  Lead Villager : But the wells and the streams, they'll be frozen over, there's no food.

  Prospero : Then store up nuts like the squirrels.

  Lead Villager : Mercy, give us sanctuary of the castle walls.

  Prospero : Give me an end to your pleading. Go back from whence you came.

  Lead Villager : We will die!

  Prospero : If you refuse to go, then die here. Archers!
