The Rider Quotes in The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007)

The Rider: A thousand years of waiting and what was there to show? Nothing! Nothing but a boy who could not do what was asked of him. Generations of hope and promise, all a waste. You know, I have something here you might recognize. Once before I made you an offer, Will. Now here it is again. Give me the signs and the boy will live.

Will Stanton: I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid to die!

The Rider: Who says it's you?

The Rider: Why do you run, boy?

Will Stanton: Who are you? What do you want?

The Rider: The Sign.

Will Stanton: I don't know what you're talking about.

The Rider: Are you frightened of me? You should be, Will. I'm very angry. All this time it was you. Give me the Sign.

Will Stanton: What Sign?

The Rider: Give it me now!

Will Stanton: I don't know what you're talking about.

The Rider: You've escaped me once before. A mistake I won't repeat. Now, give me the Sign.

Merriman Lyon: Leave the boy alone, Rider. You can't fight us all. You're not strong enough.

Will Stanton: Tom?

Merriman Lyon: Resist him, Will! You are Will Stanton! You are the Seeker!

The Rider: Give them to me.

Will Stanton: No!

The Rider: Then your time is at an end.
