- Sarah Good: That is not a Puritan prayer!
- Rebecca Nurse: No, it is a prayer of my own.
- Sarah Good: That is blasphemy! God will strike you down!
- Rebecca Nurse: No, child. 'Tis people who punish, not God.
- Rebecca Nurse: [at the hanging] They are witches. They have sinned against God. It is His will.
- Ann Putnam: His will... but where is God's forgiveness?
- Rebecca Nurse: They have sinned against us.
- Ann Putnam: Then where is your forgiveness?
- Midwife 1: [gasping] A witch's teat! The Devil suckles there!
- Midwife 2: That's not a teat. It more resembles a mole.
- Thomas Putnam: You're frightening the children.
- Ann Putnam: They should be frightened! An innocent woman died today, because of me! And you! A man died today because he opposed you. Opposing you is not a crime before God!
- Thomas Putnam: Stop it! Stop it!
- Ann Putnam: I will stop it! Even if it means I hang for it... I will stop this.
