- Andre: One more question, Baron: has anyone else except yourself seen the spirit? Stefan, for instance.
- Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe: [smiling] You think I'm mad, don't you.
- Andre: Right now, Baron, I'm not sure just what I think.
- Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe: Ah! But don't forget: *you* saw her, too. Perhaps we're both mad.
- Andre: Where is Helene?
- Katrina - Witch: [pointing to the bird] This is Helene.
- Andre: No, not the bird, the girl. Where is the girl?
- Katrina - Witch: There is no girl.
- Andre: Of course there's a girl. I saw her. She spoke to me.
- Katrina - Witch: Perhaps you were tired from your long journey and had a pleasant illusion.
- Katrina - Witch: Don't go to the castle. I have told you the truth. There is no girl. Mark me, there are things beyond your understanding. Leave now, while you can.

- Andre: Hello! Hello, do you know the road to Kolben? I was separated from from regiment.
- Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe: What you see, Lieutenant, are the remains of a noble house. Relics. Ghosts of past glory.
- Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe: Your pardon, young sir. I was at my devotions. I did not hear you.
- Andre: I'm sorry, sir. But, surely, I made enough noise to awaken the dead.
- Andre: My father was Count Duvalier. Was, until they spilled his head into a basket one morning in the Place de la Concorde.
- Andre: There are certain other mysteries I would like to have explained, Baron, and I *mean* to have them explained.
- Stefan: The Von Leppe family crypt lies below, beneath the cemetery. She rests there with four centuries of Von Leppes.
- Stefan: Lieutenant, please, don't involve yourself in these dead matters. There is nothing here but an old man and his decaying memories. I beg of you leave him in peace!
- Andre: I've been searching for you, to help you. But, you wander in strange places, at strange hours.
- Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe: Twenty years ago I was not the man you're looking at now. This land, this estate prospered. My people lived well and were happy. My wife had died some years before and I was lonely. Then, one day in the village, I saw Ilsa, a peasant girl who'd come to live there with her mother. Oh, I could have taken her! Nobles have taken the daughters of peasants since the beginning of time. But, I loved her - and she became the Baroness Von Leppe.
- Helene: Only when the sea enters the crypt, we shall rest there together, he and I, beneath the sea.
- Stefan: How do you know what harm he plans? Do you want him wandering around the castle? Do you want him down in the crypt?
- Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe: Enough. The crypt is no concern of yours.
- Helene: When the night comes, I get cold. My arms and my shoulders get cold. I don't like the night. I want to be free of it.
- Katrina - Witch: No! No, not the chapel! I may not enter the House of God! I have made my pact with another!
- Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe: Take this gun. Escort this gentleman from the castle. If he resists - kill him.
