Sleepy Hollow, Season 4 (2017)

Ichabod Crane:
  [to an agent holding Crane captive]  Your brogues are loosening.  [pauses]  Your shoes are untied.  [knocks out said agent when said agent looks down]  Oldest trick in the book.  And that's coming from me.

Ichabod Crane:
  [pointing to the Jefferson Memorial]  But, this fellow back here, Thomas Jefferson, once said something that I think of often: he said, "I like the dreams of the future better than the histories of the past." The actual Jefferson quote, from a letter to John Adams dated 1 August 1816, reads:

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.3

Marg Dyer:
  With wicked tongue, the serpent lied and took their liberty.

Malligo Dyer:
  Through poison words, the world knew sin.  Our hand will set you free.

Ichabod Crane:
  Witches, with a taste for lies and a need to uncover betrayal, are loose in our capital city.

Diana Thomas:
  A hotbed of dishonesty and backstabbing.

Benjamin Banneker:
  In a vote between the lesser of two evils, I choose not to vote at all.

Jake Wells:
  So, when Washington said "these are the times that try men's souls," he was being literal. The quote actually comes from Thomas Paine.  It was written 19 December 1776 and published in The Crisis No. I on 23 December 1776.

Ichabod Crane:
  So, Washington sent me to fight the Horseman, knowing it would mean my death.

Malcolm Dreyfuss:
  Great stone, I call upon your Protean power.

Ichabod Crane:
  I marvel at these wondrous items: dolls that speak…robots that transform…putty that's…is silly.  In my day, all we had to entertain ourselves was a wooden hoop and a stick.  And woe the day the stick broke.

Jobe:
  A deal is a deal.  It is the oath I live by.

Malcolm Dreyfuss:
  I swear to you, I will not rest until this world is born again.

Malcolm Dreyfuss:
Do you know what I've come to learn over the years, Mister Crane? People, by and large, people are herd animals. When it comes right down to it, most people really don't want to bear the burden of governing themselves. Deep down, most people are violently opposed to the effort it takes to think for themselves. Do you know what all of the helpless, bleating sheep really want, more than anything else? A shepherd.

Ichabod Crane You mean tyrant.

Malcolm Dreyfuss:
Actually, I prefer emperor. Czar, perhaps? Monarch, maybe. Whatever rolls off the tongue.

Benjamin Banneker:
  All I can tell you is that which we have now safeguarded could be used to spark a conflict beyond all others.  As to why we are here, aside from present company, I do not trust our founders with it any more than those whose tyranny they seek to shrug off. Referring to the Turricula Ignis.

Malcolm Dreyfuss:
  [after spontaneously healing from a gunshot wound]  Pretty neat trick, right?  Yeah, don't…don't try this at home, kids.

Ichabod Crane:
  [after being shot with the Turricula Ignis]  I am become…war.

Malcolm Dreyfuss:
  [after turning Crane into the Horseman of War]  War: what is it good for?  Absolutely everything. This is a play on the following lyrics to "War," originally from the album Psychedelic Shack (6 March 1970) by The Temptations and later covered by Edwin Starr:

War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

Henry Parrish:
  Ichabod has become the Horseman of War, hasn't he?  Huh.  Like father, like son.  Or, is it the other way around?

Jake Wells:
  Well, knowing our track record, I'm guessing that it's something that'll give your nightmares nightmares.

Ichabod Crane:
  As they say, turnabout is—

Jake Wells:
  Is freakin' awesome!

Ichabod Crane:
  Close enough. The phrase Crane was reciting is, "Turnabout is fair play."

Henry Parrish:
  What fools these mortals be.

Malcolm Dreyfuss:
  "Henry," is it?  I think this is the beginning of a revolutionary friendship. Dreyfuss is deliberately paraphrasing a famous line from Casablanca (1942):

Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Jobe:
  Via ad Infernum!

Ichabod Crane:
  I have found a way back from Purgatory, the Catacombs, and New Jersey.  We will return.

Jenny Mills:
  And, if Hell has a gift shop, I'd like a snow globe.

Lara:
  There's a door.  Words in Latin.

Ichabod Crane:
  Yes, I see it, too.  "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."

Lara:
  We're in the right place. In Latin, the inscription reads, "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate."  The inscription first appears in Canto III of Dante's Inferno.

Satan:
  I have a contract with Malcolm Dreyfuss.  Hell abides by rules.

Ichabod Crane:
  [to Henry Parrish]  This…anger, is anger worth swearing servitude to the will of a tyrant?  Is hatred worth sacrificing your freedom?

Ichabod Crane:
  [with pride]  I've registered to vote. Crane was not a U. S. citizen prior to this episode and, thus, not eligible to vote.
