7 quotesContrasting Views on England's Charm
Billee
You're wonderful. You're the sweetest thing I've ever known. When we're married, I want to take you to England, and to my mother... She'll be proud of you, Trilby. Proud of you as I am.
Trilby O'Farrell
Tell me: what's England like?
Billee
Oh, England's beautiful! Green fields, and hedgerows and hollyhocks, primroses...
Svengali
... and fog, and pneumonia, and shopkeepers, and flat feet, and boiled beef and cabbage - ha, ha, ha! Trilby in England would be like a butterfly in mutton soup!

Confronting Fear and Control in Svengali
Monsieur Taffy
And where are you going?
Billee
After him!
Monsieur Taffy
Svengali's not running away from you.
Billee
Not from me, Taffy, but from his fear of the day when his spell over Trilby will be broken, as it was for a moment last night.
The Laird
Eh? And what will you do when you catch up with him?
Billee
Just wait till the day comes. I'll get her back - - if I have to follow them round the world.

Reflection on Svengali's Transformation and Life
Monsieur Taffy
Maestro Svengali... this has been a marvelous change since we saw him last.
The Laird
Yeah, it's been just five years.
Monsieur Taffy
Wonderful!
Billee
They say that his wife is a very beautiful woman.
Monsieur Taffy
Didn't you say that she was a Polish woman that he picked up in Russia?
The Laird
Yeah, that's what I heard.
Billee
Well, if she's as beautiful as they say she is, he must've hypnotized her into marrying him.
The Laird
I'm not interested in that. What I want to know is who's giving him his baths now?
Monsieur Taffy
Probably she is - in self defense!

The Dangers of Hypnosis and Manipulation
Trilby O'Farrell
What'd he do?
[after Svengali has hypnotized her, making her headache disappear]
Monsieur Taffy
He hypnotized you!
The Laird
Yeah, and don't you ever let him do it again! Those fella's can make you do anything and say anything they want. Lie, steal, *anything*!
Billee
And then they make you kill yourself when they're done with ya'.
The Laird
Yeah, they do that.
Trilby O'Farrell
But he took my pain away!
Billee
I'd rather have the pain than have it cured like that!
