Alix Miller:
[after returning from a church service in Lee's honor for saving Tommy Harris, reading plaque] To our friend Leyland Crompton, who's bravery and determination saved the life of Tommy Harris, your greatful neighbours.

Alix Miller:
[Lee looks at the plaque and drops it worthlessly on his desk] Why can't you let them thank you Lee?

Lee Crompton:
What do you think i would be to them Alix, a romantic folk hero? Their very own gentle giant? Better they thank a pretty woman and a cute dog than a monster.

Alix Miller:

Lee Crompton:
[turns angryly] I don't want your pity...

Alix Miller:
I do pity you... but not because how you look... but because of what you have let it do to you...

Alix Miller:
[she meets Lee Crompton at the house dinner table, the same disfigured man she was afraid of when she fell down a snowy hill earlier in the day] I'm sorry... i did'nt know...

Lee Crompton:
[quitely, resigned to his effect on strangers] It happens...

Alix Miller:
[after Lee showing her how to Ice dance on a wooded lake] Do it again...

Lee Crompton:
[happy in the moment, knowing they should leave] School will be out soon... kids love to skate up here in the winter...

Lee Crompton:
[starts to take off his skates] I frighten kids Alix...

Alix Miller:
[unable to grasp his view on beating himself up] Lee...

Lee Crompton:
I remember i was in the Library once... a little girl just happened to look up as i passed her table... she was still screaming when her mother had to carry her out a few minutes later... but never mind. I'm starved... how about you?

Alix Miller:
[trying to understand his past] Yeah... a little...
