Quotes:

[describing how she became the French Lieutenant's mistress]::Sarah: Soon he no longer bothered to hide the nature of his intensions towards me. Nor could I pretend surprise. My innocence was false from the moment I chose to stay. I could tell you that he overpowered me, he drugged me. But it was not so... I gave myself to him.

Dr. Grogan: [quoting Dr. Hartmann's treatise on melancholia] "It was as if her torture had become her delight."

Sarah: I have set myself beyond the pale. I am nothing. I am hardly human any more.

Charles Henry Smithson: [to Sarah] There is talk in the town of committing you to an institution.

Charles Henry Smithson: [to Ernestina] I can assure you, the true charm of this world resides in this garden.

Sarah: [describing how she became the French Lieutenant's mistress] He took me to a private sitting room, ordered food. But... he had changed. He was full of smiles and caresses, but... I knew at once that he was insincere. I saw that I had been... an amusement for him. Nothing more. I saw all this within... five minutes of our meeting. Yet I stayed.

Sarah: I am the French Lieutenant's... whore.

Anna: [reads from a book] In 1857, it's estimated there were 80,000 prostitutes in the county of London.::Mike: Yeah?::Anna: Out of every 60 houses, one was a brothel.::Mike: Hoo, hoo, hoo.::Anna: At a time when the male population of London of all ages was one and a quarter million, the prostitutes were receiving clients at a rate of two million per week.::Mike: Two million?

Sarah: Do what you will. Or what you must. Now that I know there was truly a day upon which you loved me, I can bear anything.

Sarah: I have long imagined a day such as this. I have longed for it. I was lost from the moment I saw you.::Charles Henry Smithson: I too.

Quotes:

Grimes: Mister, you've got alot of hard bark on you walkin' down here like this. Now, I owe you. You put two holes in me.::John Russell: Usually enough for most of 'em.::Grimes: Don't try it again, that Vaquero is more than a fair hand.::Grimes: You got the money?::John Russell: Guess I brought my dirty laundry down by mistake.::Grimes: Let me see it.::John Russell: Look for yourself.::Grimes: [opens bag, pulls out a handful of clothes] Well now, what'ya suppose hell's gonna look like?::John Russell: We all die, just a question of when.

[Grimes has just delivered an ultimatum to Mendez and the others]::John Russell: Hey. I got a question. How are you planning to get back down that hill?::Grimes: Now you wait a minute! I'm getting back down the same way I came up! (Begins running back down the hill. Russell shoots him as he is running)::Jessie: [as Grimes crawls away after being shot] Cicero Grimes, meet John Russell.

Jessie: And we got him a marble headstone. It had his name on it, and underneath, we had them put, "In the Fullness of His Years." Is that all right with you?::John Russell: I'll settle for that. I'm not on the slab.::Jessie: Well, what do you figure yours is going to read?::John Russell: "Shot Dead," probably.::Jessie: Don't people take to you, Mr. Russell?::John Russell: It only takes one who doesn't.

Doris Blake: You're just saying that so we won't go down there.::John Russell: They'll kill you both. That's why I'm saying it.

[Russell has just fatally shot the Mexican bandit]::Mexican Bandit: I would like at least to know his name.::Henry Mendez: He was called John Russell.

Henry Mendez: Hombre, which name today, which do you want?::John Russell: Anything but bastard will do.

Braden: Hey, what's going on?::Jessie: I'm moving you out. I want you to take your socks, your cigar stubs, your long johns, and your nickel-plated sheriff's badge, and amble back down the hall to your own room.::Braden: I like it here.::Jessie: Can't quite remember how you got squatter's rights in here, anyhow. Seems to me you came by one night to ask for an extra blanket and stayed a year.

Braden: I been working since I was ten years old, Jessie, cleaning spittoons at a dime a day. It's now thirty years later, and all I can see out the window here is a dirt road going nowhere. The only thing that changes the view is the spotted dog lifting his leg against the wall over there. Saturday nights, I haul out the town drunks. I get their 25-cent dinners and their rotgut liquor heaved up over the front of my one good shirt. I wear three pounds of iron strapped to my leg. That makes me fair game for any punk cowboy who's had one too many. No, Jess, I don't need a wife. I need out.

Jessie: That soldier would have helped you and you know it.::John Russell: I didn't ask for any.::Jessie: He didn't even have a gun.::John Russell: That's his business he don't wanna carry one.::Jessie: It takes a lot to light a fire under you, doesn't it.::John Russell: If it's alright with you, lady, I just didn't feel like bleeding for him. And even if it isn't alright with you.

Doris Blake: I've heard a lot of stories about what the Indians do to white women.::Grimes: They do the same thing to white women they do to Indian women, and they don't mind it much, red or white.

Quotes:

Dr. Craven: You'll need something to protect you from the cold.::[Dr. Bedloe reaches for a glass of wine]::Dr. Craven: No, I meant clothes!::Dr. Bedloe: Oh.

Rexford Bedlo: I am Dr. Bedlo's son!::Dr. Bedloe: I am sorry...

Dr. Scarabus: Afraid my dear? There's nothing to be afraid of.

Dr. Craven: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, / Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore. / While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, / As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door./ "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door. / Only this and nothing more."

Dr. Craven: [Answering a request for wine] Here's some nice hot milk.::Dr. Bedloe: Milk! How vomitable.

Dr. Scarabus: I'm always fascinated by your utter lack of scruples.

[Craven and Bedloe toast each other with wine after Bedloe's complete transformation back to human]::Dr. Bedloe: A little unexpected what happened down there, huh?::Dr. Craven: Yes it was most unexpected. I, I just don't understand why should my father return from the dead and then tell me to beware, of what?::Dr. Bedloe: I wish I knew, I, I, I, I wish I knew. [Bedloe mistakenly picks up a glass of milk and drinks] Uh, that milk!::Dr. Craven: Oh I am sorry.::Dr. Bedloe: In any case I have to return to the castle of Dr. Scarabus tonight.::Dr. Craven: Oh no, sir please, I beg you, I implore you. Don't go back there.::Dr. Bedloe: But he has confiscated all my magical equipment and I want revenge.::Dr. Craven: But he is too powerful.::Dr. Bedloe: Then come with me.::Dr. Craven: No. No I want nothing to do with him. Nothing at all.

[Estelle enter her room. Rexford is hiding behind the door and covers her mouth to prevent her from screaming]::Rexford Bedlo: Shhhhhh. [Estell struggles with a muffled scream] I was afraid you would scream. [he uncovers her mouth and releases his grip on her]::Estelle Craven: Is anything wrong?::Rexford Bedlo: Don't be alarmed but I'm afraid Dr. Scarabus killed my father.::Estelle Craven: Killed him?::Rexford Bedlo: Yes, during the dueling I observed Dr. Scarabus making fertive gestures with his fingers. Now we must speak to your father.::Estelle Craven: But I already have. He trusts Dr. Scarabus.::Rexford Bedlo: We'll have to try. [they return to the door but it won't open] It's locked!::Estelle Craven: What'll we do. [Rexford looks around the room and goes to the window, opens it and looks out] What are you doing?::Rexford Bedlo: This ledge leads to your father's room.::Estelle Craven: But you might be killed!::Rexford Bedlo: I hope not! [he exits through the window]

Estelle Craven: [Estelle, Dr. Craven, Dr. Bedloe and Rexford are all bound to columns in the dungeon] Can't you get your hands free father?::Dr. Craven: I'm afraid not my dear. What with Dr. Scarabus having turned me into a statue and then binding me like this.::Dr. Bedloe: I know I... I know I'm a disgrace.::Rexford Bedlo: I had a somewhat stronger word in mind.::Dr. Bedloe: But son, you know that, that everything I tried in life I was a failure. Only, only the day I joined the Brotherhood of Magicians. Oh I, I was the happiest man on earth. I still remember how happy I was. And then when, when Dr. Scarabus offered to teach me superior magical knowledge for luring Dr. Craven here, I just couldn't resist that magnificent award. But Erasamus, believe me with all my heart I regret what I have done to you.::Dr. Craven: You are not alone in guilt sir. I too have failed at the task of living.::Dr. Bedloe: Oh no.::Dr. Craven: Oh yes, yes. Instead of facing life I turned my back on it. I know now why my father resisted Dr. Scarabus. Because he knew that one cannot fight evil by hiding from it. Men like Scarabus thrive on the apathy of others. He thrived on mine and that offends me. By avoiding contact with the brotherhood I've given him freedom to commit his atrocities, unapposed.::Dr. Bedloe: You sure have!::Dr. Craven: I'm sorry.

[last lines]::Dr. Bedloe: [as the raven] Erasamus, now that Dr. Scarabus is out of the way we've got to make immediate plans for your assumption of the grand mastership. I'll glady act as your liaison so, so you won't be bothered having to present your case personally to the brotherhood. Later on I'll be happy to assume the post of super numeri secretary dispencer.::Dr. Craven: Dr. Bedloe.::Dr. Bedloe: [as the raven] Yes?::Dr. Craven: Do you really think such treachery can be so easily forgiven and forgotten?::Dr. Bedloe: [as the raven] Treachery! I saved all your lives!::Dr. Craven: After having put them in jeopardy in the first place.::Dr. Bedloe: [as the raven] That's beside the point. Very well, if that's the way you feel about it, kindly return me to my rightful form and I'll leave.::Dr. Craven: Well, I'll uh, I'll take it under advisement.::Dr. Bedloe: [as the raven] Take it under advisement? Well really! Who do you think you are talking to anyway?::Dr. Craven: Up. [Craven points a finger upwards]::Dr. Bedloe: [as the raven] What's that?::Dr. Craven: Up!::Dr. Bedloe: [as the raven] Now wait a minute Erasamus!::Dr. Craven: Up!::Dr. Bedloe: Really! [Dr. Bedloe flies to the head of a bust] I never heard of such ingratitude in my entire life. It's getting so you can't trust anybody anymore. I'm just too sweet and gentle, that's my problem!::Dr. Craven: Dr. Bedloe.::Dr. Bedloe: What is it?::Dr. Craven: Shut your beak! Quoth the raven, nevermore.
