- [Mr. Clare tells Lily the two of them can be together as lovers]
- Lily: You want to walk in the village and hold my hand. And when people are cruel, you want me to love you even more. Do I hurt you?
- Lily: [Lily scoffs] You pathetic creature. How can you imagine that I could care for you? Does that face belong alongside this? Doesn't the world smile on us? Don't we make a beautiful couple, 'thee and me'? Shall we wander the pasture and recite your fucking poetry to the fucking cows. You are blind... like all other men.
- John Clare: And you are unlike all other women.
- Lily: [Lily pushes Mr. Clare back to the wall] You tell me how. We flatter our men with our pain. We bow before them. We make ourselves into dolls for their amusement. We lose our dignity in corsets and high shoes and gossip and the slavery of marriage! And our reward for this service? The back of the hand... The face turned to the pillow... The bloody, aching cunt as you force us onto your beds to take your fat, heaving bodies!
- Lily: [Lily screams while punching Mr. Clare's chest] You drag us into the alleys, my lad, and cram yourselves into our mouths for two bob. When you're not beating us senseless! When we're not bloody, from the eyes, and the mouth, and the ass, and the cunt!
- Lily: [Lily throws Mr. Clare to the floor as the two pant] Never again... will I kneel to any man. Now they shall kneel to me. As you do, monster.
- [Ferdinand Lyle concludes the tale to the group, of who is looking for Vanessa Ives]
- Ferdinand Lyle: 'In the great war for the Heavenly Throne we were vanquished, so God looked down on his defeated angels and found us to be evil angels, so he cast us out. He took us by our winged backs and raised us over His head. Thence did he fling us from His Heavenly Throne and cast us down, to Earth and to Hell. So we were... cleaved apart... two brothers cast out to two realms. One brother to Earth and the other brother to Hell. And thus were we set in eternal enmity. My brother on Earth, to feed on the blood of the living by night. And myself in Hell to feed on the souls of the dead. Both in an eternal quest for the Mother of Evil, who will release us from our bondage and allow one of us to reconquer Heaven and topple God from his bloody throne. And so will the darkness reign, on Earth, in Heaven, everlasting.' And so comes the Apocalypse.
- [Mr. Clare lays on the floor trembling at the strength and anger of Lily]
- Lily: My monster. My beautiful corpse. How clever he's been, our creator. But our little god... has brought forth not angels... but demons. Thee and me. And what should we do with this power, undead thing? You're a thoughtful man, a philosopher even. So tell me, why do we exist? Why have we been chosen? Tell me.
- John Clare: I don't know.
- Lily: Is it to suffer?
- John Clare: Yes.
- Lily: Must it be?
- John Clare: How can it be other? We long for that we cannot have.
- Lily: Women? I'll bring you a dozen. We'll fuck 'em together.
- [Madame Kali talks to her daughter Hecate Poole about Sir Malcolm]
- Madame Kali: A man's character is always his destiny. And now that Malcolm is himself again. He is full of anger... and will strike back. And so he will come... in all his manly rage.
- [Madame Kali asks Ferdinand Lyle if Ethan Chandler loves Vanessa Ives]
- Madame Kali: Does Mr. Chandler love her?
- Ferdinand Lyle: Do you?
- Madame Kali: [Madame Kali scoffs] Does she love him?
- Ferdinand Lyle: She's opaque.
- [Madame Kali suspects Sir Malcolm of being Vanessa Ives' father]
- Madame Kali: You knew her when she was born, didn't you?
- Sir Malcolm Murray: Yes.
- Madame Kali: You saw her grow into the fine young woman she is?
- Sir Malcolm Murray: Yes.
- Madame Kali: Yeah. You watched her rather carefully, I'd say.
- Sir Malcolm Murray: Did I?
- Madame Kali: Of course you did. She was always your favorite. It's good we care for our daughters.
- [first lines]
- Lily: [Lily hums to herself in bed with the naked male corpse, as she begins talking to it] You're a very silly boy. That's what I like about you. Men should always remain boys at heart. Filled with childish games, with snakes and ladders and blind man's bluff. How sad that boys feel they must grow up.
- Lily: [Lily breathes, looking at the corpse] You'll never grow up now.
- [humming to herself when she leaves the room]
- [Sir Malcolm tells Victor Frankenstein who he's become in the mirror]
- Sir Malcolm Murray: All my life, I've been a man who sought singular achievement and fed on rage and dissatisfaction. My character was one of monomaniacal anger. My blood thrilled to the lash. I was cruel to my wife, and to my children, and grew more famous in the process... more myself.
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: And now?
- Sir Malcolm Murray: I've become alienated from the cruel man who used to look back at me in the mirror.
- [Sembene asks Ferdinand Lyle why the brother of Lucifer wants Vanessa Ives]
- Sembene: Why her? Why Vanessa?
- Ferdinand Lyle: There are old prophesies from prehistory that tell of such chosen ministers of evil. Amunet from the Egyptians, Lilith from the Talmud, the Nordic Hella, Celtic Macha. Mara from the Hindus. All variations of deities or demigods who were destined to unleash annihilation on the world.
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: And all women.
- [Dorian Gray finds Angelique looking at the secret painting of himself]
- Dorian Gray: So... you've discovered my secret. Forever unchanging. My sins made manifest only here. At times, I've deceived myself into thinking, uh... I'm other than this. Don't we all want to paint ourselves into something... better than we are? But that... is who I truly am, Angelique. Can you accept me as I am? Can you love me?
- Angelique: [Angelique looks into Dorian's eyes] Yes.
- Dorian Gray: [as the two cheer a drink together, Angelique suddenly holds her chest and collapses dead] I don't think you can.
- [Dorian looks back at the photo of himself, as the figure in the painting moves]
- [Madame Kali reveals her intentions to Sir Malcolm in wanting him for a companion]
- Madame Kali: Eternal life, eternal beauty. Such shallow pursuits. What value do they hold if we walk always alone? I've been too much alone... and this house is... so cold. But with you, I've found a kind of elation. To feel the old touch of passion. To yearn. To be truly human.
- Sir Malcolm Murray: My humanity, such as it is, is colder than this house.
- Madame Kali: [Madame Kali starts to tear up] No. No arrogance or pride. This is your chance to live, Malcolm. Let's bury the past together. Your wife... your son, your daughter, and all my sins as well, which surely match your own. Far exceed them. I don't want to live alone. Nor do you. So take my hand and love me. We have no one else. And together we will walk quietly. So quietly.
- Sir Malcolm Murray: You know, if I could, I would tear that beautiful head from your shoulders and laugh all the while. But if you will let Miss Ives live, I will walk with you to the end of time.
- [Mr. Clare threatens Victor Frankenstein after Victor let's Lily go out for the night with another man]
- John Clare: You made her for me. She is mine. She is not yours. She is not his. She is mine. I will take her. And when we are gone, far away from this place to a place for she and me alone, I will return... Creator. I will return to you. One day... one night... I will show you the monster you have made.
- [Ferdinand Lyle talks with Madame Kali as she gets a massage from the younger witches]
- Ferdinand Lyle: I gave that up long ago. It was too embarrassing. Forever trying to remain fit with rubdowns and medicine balls and glandular injections, while always around me there were more handsome men who had the thrill of genuine youth. Guardsmen in shining uniforms and stable hands with thicker arms. Yes. I admit to vanity about my complexion and hair color. What harm there, really? So I render myself foolish? Well, hang a man for that and it'll be a very crowded gallows. But then there's you. Quite a different paean to youth we sing there.
- Madame Kali: Well, we will sing it, won't we?
- Ferdinand Lyle: Oh, yes. The sword you dangle over my head would cut deeply.
- [Madame Kali threatens Ferdinand Lyle to know where Miss Ives and Ethan Chandler are]
- Madame Kali: And you've absolutely no idea where they've run off to?
- Ferdinand Lyle: None.
- Madame Kali: [Madame Kali holds the blades of her ring into Ferdinand's neck] Are you telling me the truth?
- Ferdinand Lyle: Yes.
- Madame Kali: I can feel your blood pumping. The most minute pressure and the artery is open to me. Your blood would paint this room.
- Madame Kali: [Madame Kali smiles when releasing her hand away from Ferdinand] I know you're not lying. You always bat your eyelashes most coquettishly when you lie.
- [Madame Kali forces herself on to Ferdinand Lyle, kissing him on the lips]
- Madame Kali: You taste like a fat little man.
- [Hecate Poole threatens Ferdinand Lyle for information between him and her mother]
- Hecate Poole: I am not so sentimental as my mother. Where is the future, Mr. Lyle? With her age or my youth? Whatever she promises you is a lie. Whatever I promise you is a lie but you'll live longer with me. Now... tell me about Mr. Chandler.
- [Lily arrives back home when Victor Frankenstein questions her on where she had been]
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: [Victor raises his voice] Lily, where have you been?
- Lily: [Lily hesitates] First, kiss me good morning like my true friend and calm yourself.
- [Victor Frankenstein asks Sir Malcolm about love]
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: I don't have the proper tools to perform this operation. I don't know what I'm doing... honestly.
- Sir Malcolm Murray: Oh, we're all neophytes in love, Victor. None of us have the tools, nor the weapons, nor the resources. Prepared as we think we are, we're defeated.
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: I have surmounted in my life. It's been my inexorable pattern of behavior. No mystery too deep... no puzzle too complex. They've fallen before me.
- Sir Malcolm Murray: I don't know what wisdom I can offer. We're in the same unknown jungle, my friend. We have to thrash our way out alone. Isn't that what love is?
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: And if we're in danger of losing that love, and that... creates greater panic still, what do we do then?
- Sir Malcolm Murray: We suffer in our own ways. But we're all unequal to the task. We are... enchanted.
- [Madame Kali talks with Sir Malcolm after holding him hostage in her dungeon]
- Madame Kali: Memory. It is such a potent force in our lives. All of these memento mori... for one sobering message... 'Remember that you will die.'
- [Madame Kali tells Sir Malcolm that she needs him to be bait for Vanessa Ives]
- Sir Malcolm Murray: What do you want of me?
- Madame Kali: You see, darling, I understand hunting as well. Though I've never been to your beloved Africa. Sometimes you tie a lamb to lure a lion, don't you? So all I require of you is that you...
- [as Madame Kali mimics the sound of a sheep bleating]
- [last lines]
- Sir Malcolm Murray: [Sir Malcolm holds his dead son up from his coffin, crying] Peter.
- [as Sir Malcolm feels two more coffins appear behind him, when his dead wife Gladys and dead daughter Mina sit up, when Peter's eyes open]
- [Victor Frankenstein talks to Sir Malcolm about pain]
- Dr. Victor Frankenstein: It was the veins in my arms that told me. When they collapse, you have to find fresh ones. I'm running short. So I'm addicted. Which is no great terror to me... but the cause...
- Sir Malcolm Murray: Pain.
