- [Ferdinand Lyle tells Sir Malcolm the story of Amunet]
- Ferdinand Lyle: Amunet was the consort of Amun-Ra, one of the great gods. He was the first 'Hidden One.' The original serpent prince. So named not for any particular reptilian qualities, but for the power of rebirth; like a snake shedding it's skin. Everlasting, perpetual life... sustained by feeding on the souls of others. Amunet and Amun-Ra never appeared in the same incantation. It is inconceivable in Pharaonic Religion to conjoin them, their narratives are kept completely separate.
- Sir Malcolm Murray: Why?
- Ferdinand Lyle: Because if they ever came together, Amunet would become the mother of evil. All light would end, the world would live in darkness. The hidden ones would emerge and rule. Amunet-Amun-Ra conjoined. This is a spell foretelling the annihilation of man and the coming of the beast.
- Ferdinand Lyle: [Sir Malcolm remains silent] I would not tell Miss Ives this. After all, who wants to know they're being hunted by the Devil.
- [Proteus sees a lit flame while strolling outside for the first time with Victor Frankenstein]
- Proteus: [Proteus smiles] Fairy lights.
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: What? No, that's something called gas lighting. It's an invisible chemical, which means you can't see it. It has combustible properties that produce flame, thus... illumination.
- Proteus: Victor, fairy lights.
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Who am I to argue?
- [Victor Frankenstein gives some advice to his new Creature]
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: My mother taught me many things. Among the most useful, is one must always have Shakespeare close to hand.
- [Brona Croft asks Ethan Chandler if he's an actor]
- Brona Croft: Jesus, you're not an actor are you?
- Ethan Chandler: Not precisely.
- Brona Croft: Praise the lord for that. I knew an actor once, always sucking up the oxygen from the room, he was. I was ever faint.
- [Ethan Chandler learns the meaning of Brona Croft's name]
- Ethan Chandler: I'm Ethan Chandler.
- Brona Croft: Brona Croft.
- Ethan Chandler: Brona?
- Brona Croft: It's Gaelic.
- Ethan Chandler: What does it mean?
- Brona Croft: Sadness.
- [Sir Malcolm informs Victor Frankenstein the origin of the hieroglyphics on the vampire body]
- Sir Malcolm Murray: They're apparently from the Egyptian 'Book of the Dead.' Do you know it?
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Not intimately, but I've studied theology over the years. The ancient Egyptian religions were unique in a way. They had a singular goal. Not transmutation to an afterlife, but something even more profound: Eternal life.
- [Vanessa Ives sees that Victor Frankenstein has a Shakespeare book in his carry bag]
- Vanessa Ives: Romantic poetry, Doctor?
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Man does not live only in the empirical world. We must seek the ephemeral or why live?
- Vanessa Ives: [Vanessa quotes Shakespeare] 'If this belief from Heaven be sent, if such be nature's holy plan... '
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: [Victor continues the quote] 'Have I not reason to lament... '
- Vanessa Ives: 'What man has made of man.'
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: 'What man has made of man.'
- [Dorian Gray and Brona Croft have sex together while be photographed]
- Dorian Gray: I never fucked a dying creature before. Do you feel things more deeply, I wonder. Do you feel pain?
- Brona Croft: Do you?
- Dorian Gray: Find out.
- [as Brona slices her fingernails into Dorian's back]
- [Vanessa Ives becomes possessed while sitting across from Sir Malcolm]
- Vanessa Ives: [speaking as Mina] I wonder... I wonder when was the moment you knew you wanted to fuck her? Why were you not more discreet? Vanessa heard you, the two of you. She heard you fucking and she was curious. She walked closer, she rounded the corner and discovered you, the two of you. You know, fucking. Fucking her cunt. Vanessa saw that.
- Vanessa Ives: [Vanessa slams her chair back, crawling on the table] Fucking animal. You man. You animal. You man. You animal. Betrayer! Creature!
- Vanessa Ives: [Vanessa stands on the table looking to the ceiling of the room] I look into his eyes and they are red with blood like from Peter's ass. His lips are red like blood from her cunt when you fucked her. His teeth are sharp like yours when you bit her cunt. And it's so cold and dark and wet like the jungle. Like tears, I am crying. I am so afraid, father. Find me! Find me! Save me! Save me!
- [as Vanessa arches her back when the guests begin to scream]
- [Proteus and Victor Frankenstein discuss what friends are]
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: We met Mr. Ethan Chandler...
- Proteus: And Miss Brona Croft. Our friends on the river...
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Well, perhaps not friends, passing acquaintances, more like.
- Proteus: Why?
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Friends are something different. They're people you've known for a while. You're comfortable with, close to.
- Proteus: [Proteus smiles] Like Victor.
- [Dorian Gray guesses what Vanessa Ives is skeptical about while at Ferdinand Lyle's party]
- Dorian Gray: You do not belong here. Even less than I. You are not frivolous. Your eye is careful and appraising. This is not a careful room, although there is much to appraise. That can divert you for only so long. You do not like it here. You are closed to it. Yet... you're the only woman in this house not wearing gloves. Your hands want to touch, but your head wants to appraise. Your heart is torn between the two. You were skeptical because you thought... this was going to be a wasted evening, but now you're not so sure.
- [Victor Frankenstein decides how to choose a name for his new Creature]
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: We should give you a name. You're a form of new mankind, so... perhaps Adam? No. Theological connotations aren't very 'us' are they? I know, you shall choose your own name.
- [Ethan Chandler sees Brona Croft cough uncontrollably]
- Brona Croft: Me lungs are buggered. I'd like to say it was from the dire working conditions of the factory. It's more likely God being a right playful fucker.
- [as Brona Croft takes another whiskey shot]
- [Vanessa Ives meets Dorian Gray for the first time while at Ferdinand Lyle's party]
- Dorian Gray: I couldn't help but notice your skepticism.
- Vanessa Ives: Am I skeptical?
- Dorian Gray: About the room. Rather aggressive in the chinoiserie and geographically capricious to say the least. In this one room, there's Japanese, Siamese, Egyptian, Balinese, and something I take to be last season's panto of Aladdin.
- [the two chuckle together]
- [Dorian Gray tells Vanessa Ives how he arrived to Ferdinand Lyle's party]
- Dorian Gray: It was more of a... random invitation.
- Vanessa Ives: Do you get many of those?
- Dorian Gray: Entirely.
- Vanessa Ives: You could say 'no.'
- Dorian Gray: I never say 'no'.
- [Madame Kali begins her séance with Ferdinand Lyle's guests]
- Madame Kali: Please, join hands. I ask forbearance. I ask you to suspend your disbelief, and imagine your mind's floating in the darkness of time. Let your imaginations be liberate and roam with me. Back in time to the ancient seas. Back in time to the time before when the spirits walked, when the sun was new and the old gods walked. I call forth Mut, mother goddess. I call to the speakers of the dead. Come to me, come to me.
- [as Madame Kali screams out]
- [Proteus talks to Victor Frankenstein about having more friends]
- Proteus: Will I have many?
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: If you're lucky.
- Proteus: I shall have many. Ten. More than ten if we...
- [when Proteus is stabbed in the back, looking down to see his chest open apart]
- [last lines]
- The Creature: [Victor Frankenstein kneels over the dead open corpse of Proteus, crying, as he stares up to see his first created undead Creature] Your first born has returned... Father.
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Man does not live only in the empirical world. We must seek the ephemeral or why live?
- [first lines]
- Barman: [Ethan Chandler shows up to a bar after a night of sleeping out in the dirt] One of those nights, has it been?
- Ethan Chandler: Do you have any whiskey?
- Barman: The more pertinent question might be as follow: Do you have money?
- Barman: [Mr. Chandler slaps cash on the barkeep] Much as you like, friend.
- [Victor has his new Creature choose his own name of Proteus]
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: [Victor flips the pages to a Shakespeare book, dropping his finger into the pages] Uuuuuuuummmmmm...
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Your turn.
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: [Victor flips the pages, when the Creature slaps his finger down] Proteus.
- Proteus: [Proteus says his first word] Proteus.
- [Ethan Chandler meets Brona Croft for the first time]
- Ethan Chandler: [Brona helps herself to Mr. Chandler's whiskey bottle, taking a shot] Well, nice to meet you, too.
- Brona Croft: And you.
- [Brona Croft tells Ethan Chandler that nothing surprises her]
- Brona Croft: What trade you have then?
- Ethan Chandler: Well, I could shoot the ace out of a playing card at fifty paces.
- Brona Croft: Well, that'll come in useful, I'm sure.
- Ethan Chandler: You'd be surprised.
- Brona Croft: Not much surprises me.
- [Sir Malcolm gives Inspector Granworthy a piece of advice for his investigations]
- Sir Malcolm Murray: If you don't change your tactics, you'll never stop him. You see, you're hunting for a man, you need to start hunting for a beast.
- [Proteus begins singing a fisherman's song while sitting across from Victor Frankenstein]
- Proteus: Oh the times was hard and the wages low / Leave her, Johnny, leave her! / But now once more ashore we'll go / An' it's time for us to leave her!
- [Victor Frankenstein tells Proteus that we all commit sins]
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: As you grow up, you'll learn we all do things which 'cause us shame. Sins we have committed.
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: [Proteus pours Victor some water] Thank you, Proteus.
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: The ancient egyptian religions were unique in a way. They had a singular goal. Not transmutation to an afterlife, but something even more profound, eternal life.
