"Now this miracle happened-- Let me see." "What day is it?" "Friday." "Friday." "That means it happened exactly 200 years ago." "Two hundred years ago the Highlands of Scotland were plagued with witches-- wicked sorcerers who were takin' the Scottish people... away from the teachings of God and puttin' the devil into their souls." ""They were indeed horrible, destructive women."" "l do not suppose you have such women." "Witches?" ""Oh, we have 'em." "We pronounce it differently."" "It did not matter that they were not real sorcerers... because you and I know there's no such thing... but their influence was very real indeed."

"No man loved his parish as did Mr. Forsythe..." ""but he was gettin' old, and it grieved him that one day soon..."" "he'd have to leave those he loved so well." "But most of all he worried about the witches." ""Now mind you, they hadn't visited us as yet in Brigadoon..."" "but he knew that there was a band of them coming our way." "So he began to wonder whether there was not something he could do..." ""to protect the folk of his parish, not only against them..."" "but against all the evils that might come to Brigadoon... from the outside world after he died." "Then one day he came to me and told me... that he had decided to ask God for a miracle." ""And on an early Wednesday mornin', right after midnight..."" "he went out to a hill beyond Brigadoon... and made his prayer to God." ""And there, in the hush of the sleeping world..."" "he asked God that night to make Brigadoon... and all the people in it... vanish into the highland mist." "Vanish... but not for always." "They would return just as they were for one day... every hundred years." "The people would lead their customary lives... but every day when they awoke... it would be a hundred years later." "And when we awoke next day... it was a hundred years later." ""ln this way, Mr. Forsythe figured that..."" "there'd be no change in the lives of the people." "They just wouldn't be in any century long enough to be touched by it." "You mean that" "You mean that you go to bed at night..." ""and when you wake up the next day, it's a hundred years later?"" "Aye." "And every day is a hundred years later?" "Aye." "What happened to the minister?" "We ne'er saw him again." ""You see, he realized to ask for such a miracle..."" ""some sacrifice would have to be made, and he wanted to be the one to make it."" ""Well, what was the greatest sacrifice that he could offer?"" "It was to be separated from those he loved before his time." "And that was why he went out to a hill beyond Brigadoon..." ""where, his miracle granted..."" "he'd ne'er see Brigadoon again." "All this happened 200 years ago?" ""Aye, lad."" ""Which of course to us, you see, is only two days ago."" "Let me ask you something." "Suppose somebody around here got fed up and wanted to leave?" """ "Then what?" "Well, he cannot leave."" """ "You mean, I've gotta stay here now?" "No, lad.""

"Brigadoon will disappear forever." ""Look, I'm not saying I believe all this..."" "butjust for argument's sake... suppose a stranger like" ""well, like me--"" "came to Brigadoon and wanted to stay." "Could he?" ""Aye, he could." "Mr. Forsythe provided for that."" ""He didn't miss a trick, did he?"" ""No, lad, he did not."" "A stranger can stay if he loves someone here." ""Not Brigadoon itself, mind you, but someone in Brigadoon..."" "enough to be willing to give up everything... to stay near that person." ""Which is only right, because after all, lad..."" "if you love someone deeply enough... anything is possible." "Aye." "Anything is possible." ""Oh, Fiona, shouldn't you be thinkin' of changing' for the weddin'?"" "I had."

"They say no words that I can remember... and yet... they're voices filled with a fearful longing'." "And often they seem to call me back." "I've pondered over it when I was awake... and I think...
