Dr. Victor Sartorius: What I want to do is surround myself with the finest scientists in the world in the short time I have left, and I haven't very long to live, you know. Cost? Uh... twenty thousand pounds.

Dr. Brooks: That's right. Alone and reading.
Dr. Brooks: [Turning the tables] What were YOU doing?

Dr. Janos Rukh: What you saw tonight occurred a few thousand million years ago.

The Invisible Ray - Confrontation Over Survival Among Thieves

Dr. Felix Benet: We expected you.
Dr. Janos Rukh: I knew that. Five thieves. Two are gone, three are left.
Dr. Felix Benet: Do you intend to kill us all?
Dr. Felix Benet: I felt it was better to let things alone when you were first poisoned. I warned you about your brain!
Dr. Janos Rukh: It began to affect my brain almost immediately. I could feel it coming, crawling through the cells.
Dr. Felix Benet: Aren't there ever moments when you think as you used to think, when you were human?
Dr. Janos Rukh: Not often, now, not often.
Dr. Felix Benet: And because of that, we must die.
Dr. Janos Rukh: No, because you are thieves. Five thieves, all thieves! It will be easiest just to shake hands. It will all be over in a second.

The Invisible Ray - A Meeting of Rival Scientists

Dr. Janos Rukh: Dr. Benet, we meet at last.
Dr. Felix Benet: But we already know each other.
Dr. Janos Rukh: True. You've come to see me fail, but you'll be disappointed.
Dr. Felix Benet: I have come to see that Sir Francis isn't deceived.
Dr. Janos Rukh: Your doubts are very flattering.
Dr. Felix Benet: They are mutual. We have never seen eye to eye.
Dr. Janos Rukh: That is because I've always looked two hundred years ahead of your theories.

The Invisible Ray - Unorthodox Scientist Questions Alliance Proposal

Dr. Janos Rukh: You ask me to join forces with you? But you forget I have no standing with your scientific congress. I believe I have even been called unorthodox.

The Invisible Ray - Confidence in Uncharted Discoveries

Dr. Janos Rukh: Sir Francis Stevens, and the great Dr. Benet from the University of Paris. What do they know? What will they ever know? I'll take them somewhere they've never been. Back into time. It will work well tonight. I'm sure and I'm ready. They'll never laugh at me again.

The Black Castle - Pain and Endurance in Ancient Rome

Count Karl von Bruno: Doctor, you're an expert on medical science. Isn't it true that the Ancient Romans were pain worshippers?

Count Steiken: [Being treated for an arm wound by Dr. Meissen] Ah, naaah! Oh, no!
Count Karl von Bruno: Do you hear that, Steiken?
Count Steiken: [Screaming] Aaah, ah, ah! I'm not an Ancient Roman!
Servant: Herr Count, Mr. Beckett is here.
Count Karl von Bruno: Well, bring him in for this should amuse him too.
Count Steiken: [to Dr. Meissen] Ooohh! - You idiot! You call yourself a doctor?
Count Karl von Bruno: [Sadistically twisting Steiken's arm] And you? You call yourself a man?
Count Steiken: [In pain] Aaaahh!

Grip of the Strangler - Justice and the Burden of the Past

Barbara Rankin: How much longer are are these investigations going on?
James Rankin: Oh, I'm afraid the end isn't quite in sight, Barbara.
Barbara Rankin: But it's all past. That man was dead and buried 20 years ago. Let him rest.
James Rankin: I know I can't bring Styles back from the dead, but one could force a change in the legal system so that a poor man would have a lawyer to defend him. Styles was a typical case, and there'll be plenty of others...

Grip of the Strangler - Choosing the Right Case for Justice

Supt. Burk: I've been back over the records, and given you at least a dozen cases -- why on Earth choose this one?
James Rankin: It's the one clear case that'll prove my point! If Styles had had the money to buy an adequate defense, he never would have hanged.

Dr. John Garth: Who made that rule? George, your old age is a disease, and I can cure it!

Before I Hang - A Request for Scientific Examination After Death

Dr. John Garth: And when my body is brought back from the autopsy room, apply the tests that i've outlined to you.

Dr. Lorenz: [Examining it] Hmmm! Oh, hardening of the skull!

The Boogie Man Will Get You - Exciting News Shared Between Colleagues

The Black Cat - The Nature of Life and Death

Hjalmar Poelzig: Come, Vitus, are we men or are we children? Of what use are all these melodramatic gestures? You say your soul was killed and that you have been dead all these years. And what of me? Did we not both die here in Marmorus fifteen years ago? Are we any the less victims of the war than those whose bodies were torn asunder? Are we not both the living dead? And now you come to me, playing at being an avenging angel — childishly thirsty for my blood. We understand each other too well. We know too much of life. We shall play a little game, Vitus. A game of death, if you like. But under any circumstances, we shall have to wait until these people have gone, until we are alone.

The Black Cat - Understanding Werdegast's Extreme Fear of Cats

Dr. Evan Beaumont: [feeling a sense of urgency] But John, what is death? Can't you put it into words? Tell me! Tell me! You must! What is death?
John Ellman: [after a pause] I think I can... After the shock...
John Ellman: I seemed to feel...
John Ellman: [dies] ...peace and a...

The Walking Dead - A Life for a Last Request

John Ellman: [in the prison as he awaits execution, hoping for a reprieve] But you can't kill me for something that I didn't do! You can't, I tell you, you can't! I don't want to die! I want to live!

Daniel: Master.
Daniel: Now that I have helped you with Strauss and Ullman, will you give Talbot's body to me?
Daniel: He's big. He's strong.
Dr. Gustav Niemann: Talbot's body is the perfect place for the monster's brain that I will add to and subtract from in my experiments.
Daniel: Master, you made me a promise.
Dr. Gustav Niemann: No! You think I'd wreck the work of a lifetime because you're in love with a, a Gypsy girl?
Daniel: I've killed four men for you!
Dr. Gustav Niemann: Do as I say or I'll never help you.

House of Frankenstein - Bargaining with Dark Consequences

Gustav Niemann: Fifteen thousand Marks. A thousand for every year I spent in a stinking, slimy dungeon. You bargain poorly, Herr Ulman.
Ullman: Don't kill me!
Dr. Gustav Niemann: [[werewolf] Kill my trusted old assistant? Why, no. I'm going to repay you for betraying me; I'm going to give that brain of yours a new home in the skull of the Frankenstein monster. As for you Strauss, I'm going to give you the brain of the wolfman so that all your waking hours will be spent in untold agony awaiting the full of the moon... which will change you into a ].

The Man They Could Not Hang - The Scientist's Perspective on Death and Faith

Priest: It seems strange to see you in such good spirits, Doctor.
Dr. Henryk Savaard: Strange that I should have no fear of dying? Well, I have lived so long questioning the unknown that this plunge into its depths is only the last and perhaps the greatest of my experiments.
Priest: Have you no faith?
Dr. Henryk Savaard: As a scientist, I'm afraid I'm a professional skeptic who doubts everything - even the certainties.
Priest: But do you not recognize the great truths?

For you to condemn me in my work is a crime so shameful that the judgement of history will be against you for all the years to come!

The Man They Could Not Hang - The Promise and Peril of Eternal Life

Dr. Henryk Savaard: Think of it! The Edison or Pasteur of tomorrow need not die merely because his heart is worn out. We'll give him a new heart taken perhaps from the body of a young man who's been killed in a automobile accident. And our great genius is awakened to another sixty years of useful life! You ask me if that's a benefit to mankind? I answer it's the gift of eternal life! But whether man's wise enough or old enough to receive such a gift, I don't know. I don't know!

Byron Orlok: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I'd like to leave you with a little story to think about as you drive home... through the darkness... Once upon a time, many many years ago, a rich merchant in Baghdad sent his servant to the marketplace to buy provisions. And after a while the servant came back, white-faced and trembling, and said, Master, when I was in the marketplace, I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and I turned to look, and I saw that it was Death that had jostled me. And she looked at me and made a threatening gesture. Oh, Master, please lend me your horse, that I may ride away from this city and escape my fate. I will ride to Samarra and Death will not find me there. So the merchant loaned him the horse and the servant mounted it, dug his spurs into its flank, and as fast as the horse could gallop he rode towards Samarra. Then the merchant went to the marketplace and he saw Death standing in the crowd and he said to her, Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? And Death said, I made no threatening gesture. That was, that was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him here in Baghdad, for I have an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.

Nobles have taken the daughters of peasants since the beginning of time. But, I loved her - and she became the Baroness Von Leppe.
