In my restless dreams, I see that town... Silent Hill.
Monsters? They look like monsters to you?
The fear of the blood tends to create fear for the flesh.
It doesn't matter if you're smart, dumb, ugly, pretty... it's all the same once yer dead... and a corpse can't laugh. From now on, if anyone makes fun of me... I'll kill 'em. Just like that.
What you call ‘faith’ is nothing more than a child crying out for love. That’s why you’re all alone.
Five days ago... that's when I first had the nightmare. I haven't been able to get out of my room since then.
You drive stick?

Silent Hill is a horror-survival video game series, centred around the dark and mysterious fictional town of Silent Hill. Each game follows a character who is somehow connected to Silent Hill (Heather), or searching for someone or something located within the town (Harry, James).

Opening: The fear of the blood tends to create fear for the flesh.

Harry Mason: Have you seen a little girl? Short, black hair? Just turned seven last month?

Harry: Cheryl is my daughter. I will save her. No matter what.

Harry: Huh? Radio? What's going on with that radio?

Harry: This may sound really off the wall, but listen to me. You've got to believe me. I haven't gone crazy and I'm not fooling around. At first I thought I was losing my mind. But now I know I'm not. It's not me. This whole town. It's being invaded by the Otherworld. By a world of someone's nightmarish delusions come to life... Little by little, the invasion is spreading... Trying to swallow up everything in darkness... I think I'm finally beginning to understand what that lady was talking about.

Dahlia: The time is nigh. Everyone will be released from pain and suffering. Our salvation is at hand. This is the day of reckoning. When all our sorrows will be washed away. When we return to the true paradise! My daughter will be the mother of God!
Looking at this makes me feel like someone's groping around inside my skull...
Mary: In my restless dreams, I see that town... Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again some day... but you never did. Well, I'm alone there now, in our special place... waiting for you.

Eddie: “You fat, disgusting piece of shit! You make me sick! Fat-ass, yer nothin' but a waste of skin! You're so ugly, even your mama don't love you!" Well maybe he was right. Maybe I am nothing but a fat disgusting piece of shit. But ya know what? It doesn't matter if you're smart, dumb, ugly, pretty... it's all the same once yer dead... and a corpse can't laugh. From now on, if anyone makes fun of me... I'll kill 'em. Just like that.

Eddie: Do you know what it does to you, James? When you're hated, picked on, spit on, just cause of the way you look? After you've been laughed at your whole friggin' life?

Angela: No! Don't pity me! I'm not worth it... Or maybe... you think you can save me. Will you love me? Take care of me? Heal all my pain? Hmph... That's what I thought.

James: I was weak... That's why I needed you... Needed someone to punish me for my sins... But that's all over now. I know the truth. Now it's time to end this.

James: [About a red square] Looking at this makes me feel like someone's groping around inside my skull...

Maria: I don't mind fighting for an impossible cause. Anyway, it beats just giving up and doing nothing.

Ernest Baldwin: Some things we forget, and some things we can never forget. It's funny... I'm not sure which one is sadder.

Mary: You've given me so much and I haven't been able to return a single thing. That's why I want you to live for yourself now. Do what's best for you, James. James... You made me happy.
Woman: A group of pagans, blinded by earthly desires, spit in the very face of God. They tried to use the seal of Metatron to prevent God's awakening. But God drove the unbelievers away and threw them into the Abyss. But due to their wickedness, God was unable to be born properly. And so she has slumbered ever since, in the womb of the Holy Mother. Until the time of the Awakening...

Vincent: I know about the pleasures of this world. And I want to find my happiness while I'm still here. You hated your father, didn't you? I saw the way he hit you, kicked you, and made you cry. The memory of his cruelty is forever burned into my mind.

Vincent: What you call ‘faith’ is nothing more than a child crying out for love. That's why you're all alone.

Vincent: Monsters? They look like monsters to you?

Heather: Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under. You can stay in your own little dream world, but you can't keep hurting other people! Besides, I'll never forgive you for hurting my father!

Heather: I don't really feel like eating and drinking stuff from an alternate reality, OK?

Harry Mason: I confess I had reservations at first about raising that baby. Could I love her? Her existence was thoroughly unexplainable. I thought, 'She could be that young woman who snatched away my beloved daughter.' That led to sadness, anger... there were times when I put my hands around her tiny little throat. Several times I even considered abandoning her. That's what a terrible person I am. But I decided to raise her after all. I just couldn't seem to let her go. When she... when you look at me, you laugh, so... Even now, I can't forget about that girl. But I love you. I have no doubts about that. That's all I ask you to believe.

Heather: [encountering the final boss, the Order’s “god”] This is God...?

Heather: There's no letter... from a dead wife or otherwise. Well, I don't have one of those anyway.

Heather: [About to reach into a toilet] Forget it. This is way too gross. [looks at the player] Who would even think of doing something so disgusting?
Henry Townshend: [considering his room] Five days ago... that's when I first had the nightmare. I haven't been able to get out of my room since then. The phone doesn't work... the TV doesn't work... I can't even get anybody to hear me when I yell... My whole world has suddenly turned insane. My door's chained up, the windows are sealed shut... And on top of that, someone chained the door from the inside. How am I going to get out of here?

Walter Sullivan: Henry... You're it... the last of the 21 Sacraments... The "Final Sign"... The "Receiver of Wisdom".

Walter Sullivan: [regarding the shabby doll] I got this from Miss Galvin a long, long time ago... She was younger than me back then... She looked so happy holding her mother's hand... Here, I'll give it to you...

Henry: I hear that it's almost never sunny in Silent Hill. And people say that when the fog comes out, strange things happen.
[In the Joke ending, Travis stares up at the moon]
Travis Grady: The lonely moon... You've always been there for me, haven't you?
[a UFO descends from the sky and an alien and Mira the dog debark]
Mira the Dog: Ruff! Ruff!
Friendly Alien: Greetings, Travis!
Travis Grady: You seen my truck? I have to find my truck.
Mira the Dog: [to the alien] Ruff, ruff!
Friendly Alien: Your truck is on our planet. Come with us.
Travis Grady: Can I drive?
Friendly Alien: You drive stick?
[Travis, the alien and Mira board the UFO and it flies away]

[On a CB radio, late at night]
Travis Grady: Who'd I just pass there? That you, Good Buddy?
Good Buddy: Treetop tall and wall-to-wall. Travis, you messed up sonofabitch. What you doing on my road?
Travis Grady: Late on a gig, bud. I'm taking the shortcut past Silent Hill. Stopping for coffee as soon as I hit Brahms. I'm beat.
Good Buddy: Bad dreams still keeping you awake? I told you man, a girl or two would go a long way. Sleep like a baby with a chick in your cab.
Travis Grady: Guess I just don't meet the right girls, Bud.
Good Buddy: Maybe if you weren't always blabbering about
[radio static]
Travis Grady: Hey chill. You don't see me bringing up your issues.
Good Buddy: No need. My old lady keeps me fully informed of my failings. The girl keeps notes.
Travis Grady: You mean she hasn't left you yet?
Good Buddy: Any day now. See you 'round, Travis. Take it easy.
Travis Grady: 10-4. Catch you later, Buddy.

Helen Grady: I'm not dead. Locked away! Out of sight, out of mind. Not dead. I asked them to bring my boy to me. Come here, boy... Let Momma take a look at you!

Richard Grady: I'm not sleeping, Son. You knew I wasn't sleeping. Why did you stand there for so long? It wasn't right... It wasn't healthy, Son. Your mother and I... will see you in Heaven, Son.
Elle Holloway: The town seems empty. All the stores are closed or boarded up. What's going on?
Judge Holloway: It's complicated, Alex. A lot of things have happened since you left.

Alex Shepherd: I noticed a banner out front that said something about an anniversary.
Judge Holloway: Yes, the town's 150 year anniversary.
Alex Shepherd: But wasn't that celebration, like, years ago? I thought I remembered being here for it.
Judge Holloway: You're right. Things tend to stay in one place around here. I guess it's time we took that down, huh?

Alex Shepherd: You've got a lot of clock parts in this place. There a reason?
Curtis Ackers: Yeah, there's a reason. For fixing clocks! Haven't you noticed that every single clock in this town has stopped at exactly 2:06?
Alex Shepherd: No, I hadn't.
Curtis Ackers: Well, take a look around, son.
Alex Shepherd: Why do you think that is?
Curtis Ackers: Hell if I know. I just try to fix 'em. But it's no use. They won't start running again. It's like something's not letting us move on.

Alex Shepherd: The food here is terrible. My bed is stiff. There's only one thing that makes it bearable: The nurses. These girls are incredible. They have these pristine white uniforms cut right above the knee, their breasts spilling out from their shirts. Look, I don't want to sound like a dirtbag or anything, I'm just saying I appreciate the military providing us with this one thing to brighten our days. Maybe it's sort of like payback for getting us stuck in this place to begin with. I don't know. All I can say is, "thank you."
Dr. Michael Kaufmann: We're getting deep in it now. I can almost taste it. All this talking and we still haven't touched on the sex thing. ...That's what you're thinking. Aren't all psychiatrists supposed to be obsessed with sex? It's not us, it's you.

Lisa: There are no dashing doctors. They're all alcoholics and perspire too much. I always fall for the guys who look like my dad and then regret it the next day.
J.P. Sater: We're the ones who decide if we can live with what we've done.

Sater: Nothin' easy about bein' a coward, Murphy. You outta know that. Enjoy your stay.

Murphy: Do I feel sorry for him, for what I've done to him? I keep telling myself he deserved what he got but... the sounds he made... all that blood... the face of absolute terror. Disbelief turned into the understanding of inevitability... all by my own hands... May God forgive me!

Murphy: They say time heals all wounds and life goes on no matter what losses we've suffered, but for me the world stopped the moment your smile left it forever.

Frank Coleridge: Truth is like the sun, boy, you can shut it out, but it ain't going away.

Howard Blackwood: Hmmm, they look like... monsters to you? I take it you opened the book, then.

Howard Blackwood: Funny thing about Silent Hill... it don't worry much 'bout what's on the outside of folks.

Homer: You just gotta think like a rat, see? A rat's vermin, but he knows how to survive. How to... stay out of the rain.
Bag: I walked. I could do nothing but walk. And then, I saw me, walking in front of myself. But, it wasn't really me. Watch out. The gap in the door... it's a separate reality. The only me is me. Are you sure the only you is you?
They bloom beautiful; they fall beautiful. That's how I want my life to be.
Anita: Seeking a connection with others is a sign of weakness... It's running away. The strongest animals don't form groups; they act alone, and need only themselves to survive. Those who betray themselves to fit into a group are pathetic... There's no beauty in living like that. I want to be strong on my own, without a group. If there were only someone who would understand that.

Anita: Everyone's losing their futures... That's all adults are: a slave to the system.

Anita: I thought I was invisible, that I didn't matter. No matter what anyone said, I didn't listen... But you and Maya... both of you DID see me. I should've figured that out sooner... Thank you, Amelie... You were always there for me... I'm going to go apologize to Maya now...

Anita: Seeking a connection with others is a sign of weakness... It's running away. The strongest animals don't form groups; they act alone, and need only themselves to survive. Those who betray themselves to fit into a group are pathetic... There's no beauty in living like that. But... I don't really mind. I just want someone to understand me... For those I love, and for those who love me... I want to keep moving forward... and never look back...

Maya: Cherry blossoms bloom within the grasp of death. With most flowers, the rot sets in... then they fall... That's the price of new life. Not cherry blossoms, though. They bloom beautiful; they fall beautiful. That's how I want my life to be.

Lost Memories: Silent Hill Chronicle

[edit]
The name of that town is Silent Hill. Although it is known as a scenic resort area, it is a cursed place where the town's former inhabitants were once driven away, brutal executions were once carried out, and a mysterious plague was once prevalent. The town is centered around Toluca Lake, from which a thick fog perpetually enshrouds the area and makes vague the reality and dreams of those who visit the town. And according to those who have seen them, there are also times when "things" that should not naturally exist appear.
