The Fog - Moral Conflict and Regret in The Fog
Father Malone: [reading from Patrick Malone's journal]
December 9: Met with Blake this evening for the first time. He stood in the shadows to prevent me from getting a clear look at his face. What a vile disease this is. He is a rich man with a cursed condition, but this does not prevent him from trying to better his situation and that of his comrades at the colony. December 11: Blake's proposition is simple, He wants to move off Tanzier Island and re-locate the entire colony just north of here. He has purchased a clipper ship called the Elizabeth Dane with part of his fortune and asks only for permission to settle here. I must balance my feelings of mercy and compassion for this poor man, with my revulsion at the thought of a leper colony only a mile distant. April 20: The six of us met tonight. From midnight until one o'clock, we planned the death of Blake and his comrades. I tell myself that Blake's gold will allow the church to be built, and our small settlement to become a township, but it does not soothe the horror that I feel being an accomplice to murder. April 21: The deed is done. Blake followed our false fire on shore and the ship broke apart on the rocks off Spivey Point. We were aided by an unearthly fog that rolled in, as if Heaven sent, although God had no part in our actions tonight. Blake's gold will be recovered tomorrow, but may the Lord forgive us for what we've done." I couldn't read any further.
Sandy Fadel:
You're grandfather had a way with words.
Father Malone:
The celebration tonight is a travesty. We're honoring murderers.

Halloween - Social Dynamics Among Friends and Relationships
Annie: [looking behind a bush for the stranger Laurie saw; coyly]
Hey, creep! Laurie, dear, he wants to talk to you. He wants to take you out tonight.
Laurie:
He was standing right there.
Annie:
Poor Laurie. Scared another one away. It's tragic. You never go out. You must have a small fortune stashed from baby-sitting so much.
Laurie:
Guys think I'm too smart.
Annie:
I don't. I think you're wacko. Now you see men behind bushes.
