[edit] Rachel Keller
- I think before you die, you see the ring …
- She wanted that child more than anything in the world. How could she have done that? She just wanted to be heard. Sometimes children yell, or cry … or draw pictures.
[edit] Aidan Keller
- She's in the dark place now.
- Don't you understand, Rachel? She never sleeps.
- What will we tell the others who watch it?
[edit] Samara Morgan
- Seven days.
- Here we go, the world is spinning. When it stops, it's just beginning. Sun comes up, we laugh and we cry. Sun goes down, we all die …
- I love my mommy.
- Everyone will suffer.

- Noah: [about the cursed videotape] That was very student film.
- Richard Morgan: What is it with reporters? You take one person's tragedy and force the world to experience it … spread it like sickness.
- Anna Morgan: All I ever wanted was you.
[edit] Dialogue
- Katie: Do you have any idea how many electro-rays are traveling through our head every second?
- Becca: I got a better one. Have you heard about this videotape that kills you when you watch it?
- Katie: What kind of tape?
- Becca: A tape. A regular tape. People rent it, I don't know. You start to play it, and it's like somebody's nightmare. Then suddenly, this woman comes on … smiling at you, right? Seeing you, through the screen. And as soon as it's over, your phone rings. Someone knows you've watched it. And what they say is, 'You will die in seven days'. And exactly seven days later …
- Katie: Who told you that?
- Becca: Somebody from Revere, I don't …
- Katie: Who told you?!
- Becca: What's your problem?
- Katie: I've watched it.
- Becca: It's a story, Katie.
- Katie: No, me and Josh, we saw it last weekend.
- Becca: I thought you were with your parents.
- Katie: I wanted to tell you.
- Becca: You were with Josh all weekend?
- Katie: Some of his friends got this-this place up in the mountains. They were trying to record a football game. I guess the reception was so bad …
- Becca: What are you talking about?
- Katie: Listen to me! When we played the tape, the game wasn't there. It was …
- Becca: What? Wh-What was it?
- Katie: It was something else. We thought it was some kind of sick joke … and then the phone rang. It was a week ago... a week ago tonight.
- Teacher: Yes, I know, but these pictures …
- Rachel: … are Aidan's way of working it out. He'll be okay.
- Teacher: [referring to Katie] You said that she died three days ago?
- Rachel: Yes.
- Teacher: Aidan drew these last week.
- Rachel: Would you say that I'm gullible?
- Noah: No.
- Rachel: Easily rattled?
- Noah: Definitely not. I mean, you're a little highly strung, maybe.
- Rachel: He watched the tape.
- Noah: Who? Who watched it?
- Rachel: Our son.
- Rachel: Honey, the house you drew for me …
- Aidan: Uh-huh.
- Rachel: Where did you see it? Did you see it in your head? Is that why you drew it?
- Aidan: In my head?
- Rachel: Aidan, why did you draw that house?
- Aidan: 'Cause she told me to.
- Rachel: Who? Who told you to?
- Aidan: The little girl.
- Rachel: She talks to you?
- Aidan: No, she shows me things.
- Rachel: Did she show you the horses?
- Aidan: She doesn't like it in the barn. The horses keep her up at night.
- Rachel: So she still lives there?
- Aidan: No, she lives in a dark place now.
- Dr. Grasnik: See, when you live on an island, you catch a cold, it's everybody's cold.
- Rachel: No offense, ma'am, but what the hell does that mean?
- Dr. Grasnik: It means ever since that girl's been gone, things have been better.
- Library Clerk: 1978. Man, we're really going back in time, here.
- Noah: Yeah, lady at reception said it should still be here.
- Library Clerk: Should be. You say you're the patient's father, right?
- Noah: Yep, Richard Morgan, that's me.
- Library Clerk: What is your secret?
- Noah: Diet and exercise, man.
- Library Clerk: No shit.
- Noah: Yeah, that's all it takes.
- Library Clerk: You know, I'm not an idiot. You try and walk out of here with my file, and I'll be on you like white on rice, you understand?
- Rachel: What did you do to her? She was your daughter! You killed Samara, didn't you? You killed her, and when your wife found out …
- Richard Morgan: My wife was not supposed to have a child!
- Noah: I can't imagine being stuck down a well all alone like that. How long could you survive?
- Rachel: Seven days.
- Aidan: What happened to the girl?
- Rachel: Samara?
- Aidan: Is that her name?
- Rachel: M-hm.
- Aidan: Is she still in the dark place?
- Rachel: No. We set her free.
- Aidan: You helped her?
- Rachel: Yeah.
- Aidan: Why did you do that?
- Rachel: What's wrong, honey?
- Aidan: You weren't supposed to help her.
- Dr. Scott: You don't want to hurt anyone.
- Samara Morgan: But I do, and I'm sorry. It won't stop.
