James Faulkner: John Mullens

Quotes 

• [the Abbot has demanded Sir Thomas turn Rachel over for trial as a witch] 

  John Mullens : Some friendly advice from a concerned neighbor, Sir Thomas... I wouldn't consider too long. The Abbot really does have quite a nasty side.

• [the Greys and the friar surround the stake to which Rachel is bound and dare the Abbot to set the kindling ablaze] 

  John Mullens : Light it!

  [the Abbot throws down his torch] 

  John Mullens : What a waste of an opportunity.
