- Hols: [after escaping from the Endless Woods and encountering Hilda] Hilda, come with me to the village.
- [She steps back, clutches her amulet and glares coldly at him]
- Hols: I was right, I knew we could get the other Hilda out of you. Come to the village, Hilda.
- [Shaking her head, she attacks him with her sword and he fends her off with his axe]
- Hols: That's the Hilda we must get out of you. Be brave and show them how human you really are.
- [He disarms her and she bows her head]
- Hols: There... you are human
- Hilda: [Gazes sadly at him] Goodbye, Hols.
- [Begins to slide into the snow darkness like a ghost]
- Hols: Hilda!
- Hilda: My brother went to the village... you'd better hurry to help Flep and Mauni.
- Hols: Hilda...
- Hilda: [sings] In the twilight red sky / a lonely star shines / Someone calls me, / "Come away, voiceless lark / Come away, wingless lark / From where did you come? And where will you go, now?"
- Drago: [watches connivingly as Hilda mesmerises the entire village with her beautiful singing] I have a good idea... I can make use of her.
- Toto: Sure, you can make use of her... if only to ruin yourself.
