Mina Quotes in Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)

[Hansel's timer goes off]

Mina: Are you alright?

Hansel: Yeah. When I was a kid, a witch made me eat so much candy, I got sick. Something happened to me. I have to take this injection every few hours or else I die.

[Injects Himself]

[Hansel and Mina are bathing in a pool of healing waters]

Hansel: I got it. You know, the last time I was in waters like this, I came across a formidable serpent witch. She mostly looked like a toad, but she could breathe underwater, which made her difficult to track. She was deadly.

Mina: [swims up to Hansel and silences him] Shh. You talk too much.

[kisses Hansel and seduces him]

Izuko: Welcome to the Gate of Rage. I am Izuko, Guardian of the Gate. You have died. You exist only as a spirit. To the Gate of Rage come those dead of misadventure, or murder. Here you may choose one way to proceed, out of three.

Mina: Three ways?

Izuko: One: Aceept death, ascend to Paradise, and prepare for rebirth. Two: As a ghost, forever haunt the realm of the living. And three: Curse one living person, and bring about their death. One who kills, however, falls into Hell... to suffer eternal torment.

Mina: What's all this about? What are you?

Izuko: You haven't accepted it. You were murdered.

Mina: Go, then.

Simon: What's going on? Mina. Do you really want to die? Let me ask you something, Mina. Do you know yourself? You, who decides to kill yourself, but do you really know who you are? Do you know that self? I mean, there are 60 trillion cells inside of you. Do you know that? I mean, how often do you think about that? Mina.

Mina: I don't.

Simon: Yes, you do. You think about them all the time. You just don't think about it in the right way, I mean... If your body is an apartment complex, those 60 trillion cells are your... your tenants. They need ventilation, right? So you breathe. They need nourishment, so you eat. When they seek renewal, they nudge you with a little bit of a... sexual urge. What you do is what they need. You have five senses, Mina: sight, smell, sound, taste... and touch. But what is their purpose? Hmm? To see the world outside. To see everything, to feel everything, to taste everything, to touch everything. But they're completely useless when it comes to seeing what's inside of you. Right? When you're eating something, at what point do you not feel it anymore?

[holds throat]

Simon: About here? I mean, there's a party going on inside of you, but you're not invited. The only time they nudge you again is when it's time to get rid of the garbage. But don't fool yourself. They need you. They need you to see the outside world, like a submarine crew.

[puts hands over Mina's eyes]

Simon: You're their sonar. That is your function. You need to feed them. Everyone forgets they're just a slave to them. You're just a slave. And you start thinking about yourself. And you start thinking about your death and not theirs. And it's not fair, because they're the ones living, not you. You may be dead already.

Mina: Now I really want to kill myself.

Mina: What will we do with a child?

Greg: Are you a masochist? Then why be obedient all the time?

Mina: For the eroticism and the pleasure. It's practical. But I also find a kind of liberation in it. Freedom isn't something very easy to live with. Obedience led me to something different, more profound.To stop thinking. To stop thinking is to be free of pain. Nuns, yogis. They gave me simple advice.Crush my ego. I obeyed. Without asking myself questions. By not thinking, my inner defences fell. So, without even wanting to, I could find previously hidden realities inside myself. In fact, my pain was linked to a profound refusal to accept myself. So the pain slowly diminished. I gradually felt almost totally free. I also began to really know my body, and to use it including as an object of pleasure. I stopped thinking. My constant anxiety disappeared.

Mina: I want to be what you are, see what you see, love what you love.

Dracula: Mina, to walk with me you must die to your breathing life and be reborn to mine.

Mina: You are my love... and my life, always.

Dracula: Then, I give you life eternal. Everlasting love. The power of the storm. And the beasts of the earth. Walk with me to be my loving wife, forever.

Mina: I love you! Oh, God forgive me, I do!

[Dracula has been slashed in the throat by Jonathan and impaled by Quincey]

Mina: [to Jonathan] When my time comes, will you do the same to me? Will you?

Jonathan Harker: [pause] No.

[last lines]

Mina: [narrating] There, in the presence of God, I understood at last how love could release us all from the power of darkness. Our love is stronger than death.

Dracula: Give me peace.

Mina: [impales him with the sword, then kisses him, then beheads him]

Mina: [watching Lucy flirt with possible suitors at the party, voiceover] Lucy is a pure and virtuous girl. But, I admit that her free way of speaking shocks me sometimes. Jonathan says it is a defect of the aristocracy that they say what they please. The truth is that I admire Lucy, and I'm not surprised that men flock around her. I wish I were as pretty and as adored as she.
