Quotes
Kane: Are you lost, sweetheart? Are you 'fraid, honey? Well then, why don't you come with me?
Share this
Kane: [to Steve about Taylor] Please! Open your hearts and your minds to what I am saying. He is dangerous. I can see that he has a strong hold on this family. Who do your wife and children turn to with they're problems? They turn to him, now don't they? They don't trust you anymore, but what you fear, is that you're not man enough to hold this family together.

Kane: [to his followers] Come with me!
