Homecoming (2017)

Jeremy Davies: Malcolm Dreyfuss

Quotes 

• Malcolm Dreyfuss : That's right, Mr. Crane. The Philosopher's Stone is now complete. Which means you and I, we really need to have a toast, don't you think?

  [pouring out two glasses of champagne] 

  Malcolm Dreyfuss : Yes. After two centuries, this incredible artifact is finally complete. Division no longer endures.

  [offering a glass to Crane] 

  Malcolm Dreyfuss : Mazel tov.

  Ichabod Crane : I'd sooner die than raise my cups with the likes of you.

  Malcolm Dreyfuss : Oh! Attacking my ego, that... that's an interesting strategy. Y... you do realize that virtually every man of my stature is by nature necessarily self-involved, don't you? I mean, it's not really a flaw; it's... it's kind of what drives us.

  Ichabod Crane : And you do realize this stone will suck the life out of every man, woman, and child in Sleepy Hollow? Tell me, what sort of an eternal life would that be with that stain on your conscience? So, innocent people lose their lives because you're too thick to read the small print in your deal with the devil.

  Malcolm Dreyfuss : Oh, I... I had faith I would find a loophole. And I did. And I more than grateful to acknowledge that I owe all of it to you. That's right. See, for years, I'd spent billions on... on cryogenics, nanonmedicine, regenerative therapy and on and on and on. Then one day, one of my feelers at the FBI tells me he got wind of a 250 year old man. I mean, holy sh... ut the front door. Wowza. Right?

  Ichabod Crane : So you killed Agent Walters. Pushed me for information. Why? I knew nothing of the Philosopher's Stone.

  Malcolm Dreyfuss : Oh, so... so are you saying you... you don't find this stone dais familiar in any way? Take a look beneath your feet. Yeah, okay. You see that shape? Now imagine blood flowing down through it. Mingling on it, if you will. Didn't you ever wonder why Washington sent you to that battlefield to face the Horseman of Death? Didn't you wonder how you were able to cut off his head so easily back then, but now, since then, you... you haven't been able to harm him at all. It was the power of the Philosopher's Stone. Washington, he manipulated you. Used you. And in the end, he sacrificed you.

  Ichabod Crane : [he flashes back to the battle and realization dawns on him]  I fought the Horseman of Death on the Philosopher's Stone.
