Quotes
-
Yoichi Asakawa : You know what, Mother?
Reiko Asakawa : Yes?
Yoichi Asakawa : Tomo-chan watched the cursed video!
-
Reiko Asakawa : Ryuji? When it's time for me to die... Stay with me.
-
[on the ship to Oshima Island]
Reiko Asakawa : How did the rumours about the video even start in the first place?
Ryuji Takayama : This kind of thing... it doesn't start by one person telling a story. It's more like everyone's fear just takes on a life of its own.
Reiko Asakawa : Fear...
Ryuji Takayama : Or maybe it isn't our fear, maybe it's what we secretly hope is true.
-
[Reiko grabs Ryuji's arm]
Reiko Asakawa : Please. Please, it might help you find a way out. If you figure it out, look after Yoichi...
Ryuji Takayama : Stop it! Have you forgotten there was a girl with Tomoko when she died? That girl's now in a mental institution. Who knows what could happen to me.
Reiko Asakawa : But you could stay with me, Ryuji! You'd be fine!
Ryuji Takayama : Why? Because I'm already insane?
-
Ryuji Takayama : Is Yoichi okay alone at this hour?
Reiko Asakawa : [sadly] He's used to it.
-
Reiko Asakawa : So that video is...
Ryuji Takayama : It's not of this world. It's Sadako's fury. And she's put a curse on us.
-
[on Yoichi]
Ryuji Takayama : Why not just let things run its course, are our lives really worth saving? Why don't we let our line die out? Good idea! Yoichi was a mistake, anyway.
Reiko Asakawa : Stop it!
-
Reiko Asakawa : Take my photo...
[hands Ryuji a Polaroid camera]
Ryuji Takayama : Look at me.
Reiko Asakawa : Hurry up!
[Ryuji takes the picture and looks at it. The picture of Reiko's face is blurred]
-
Reiko Asakawa : Four people died from watching this videotape!
Ryuji Takayama : [laughing] Then go to the shrine and get exorcized!
-
Reiko Asakawa : It's strange, but I feel peaceful.
[Ryuji rubs her hand soothingly where the bruise Sadako gave her is]
-
Ryuji Takayama : Let's find Sadako's body!
Reiko Asakawa : If we do that it'll lift the curse? Will it save Yoichi?
Ryuji Takayama : It's all we have left to do.
Reiko Asakawa : [whispering] Just one more day...
