A Noble's Love and Regret
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.

The Inevitable Nature of Fate
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.

Dr. Bedlo
Who, mine? A double value. Superior magical knowledge and through my death by lightning, freedom from overbearing women.
Lenore Craven
Well worth the cost of being turned into an insignificant bird.
Dr. Scarabus
To say nothing of luring Dr. Craven to me, don't forget that, my love.
Lenore Craven

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?
Dr. Henryk Savaard
I never found one that would bear analysis.
Priest
Can't you conceive of a truth too great for the human mind to analyze?

Tonight, no, but tomorrow I may know better!

Condemnation of Historical Injustice and Hypocrisy
Dr. Henryk Savaard

Dr. Janos Rukh
Yes.
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 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 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.

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!

A Eulogy Filled with Confusion
Amos Hinchley
And so, my friends, we find ourselves gathered around the bier of Mrs... er... Mr... You Know Whom... this litter of sorrow, this cairn, this cromlech, this dread dochma, this gart, this mastaba, this sorrowing tope, this unhappy tumulus, this, this... what is the word?... this... er, coffin! Never could think of that word. Requiescat in Pace, Mr... um... Mr... the memory of your good deeds will not perish with your untimely sepulcher.
