Island of Lost Souls - Fear and Terror in Unfamiliar Encounters
Dr. Moreau:
She's never seen anything like him.
Mr. Montgomery:
No?
Dr. Moreau:
You and I don't count. The only reactions we get from her are fear and terror.
Mr. Montgomery:
That's understandable.
Dr. Moreau:
But how will she respond to Parker where there's no cause for fear? Will she be attracted? Is she capable of being attracted? Has she a woman's emotional impulses? I could scarcely hope for a chance like this short of London.

Island of Lost Souls - The Achievement of Articulate Speech
Edward Parker:
Those poor things out there in the jungle. Those animals. They - They talk.
Dr. Moreau:
That was my first great achievement. Articulate speech controlled by the brain. And it was a great achievement! Oh, it takes a long time and infinite patience to make them talk. Someday I will create a woman and it'll be easier.

The Paradine Case - Uncovering Past Relationships and Betrayals
Anthony Keane:
Does the name of Margaret Wells convey anything to you?
Andre Latour: [hesitating]
Yes, sir.
Anthony Keane:
What does that name convey to you?
Anthony Keane:
Well, I must try to help your memory. I put it to you that some years ago you were engaged to Margaret Wells of Three Rivers, Quebec; that on your wedding day she left you at the church door and went off with a saddler named Richard Truton.
Andre Latour:
That is finished! That is in the past!
Judge Lord Thomas Horfield: [[relevance]
Your question may be relevant, Mr Keane; its ] escapes me.
Anthony Keane:
M'lord, I submit that the witness has shown, in his evidence and also in his behavior, an almost pathological bias against, not only my client, but against all women.
Judge Lord Thomas Horfield:
I may be stupid, but I fail to understand what this jilting has to do with the case; after seeing the witness and observing his appearance and bearing, I should be inclined to regard the young lady's conduct as pathological, not his.

Witness for the Prosecution - Identity and Deception in Marriage
Sir Wilfrid:
Mrs Vole. Or Mrs Helm; which do you prefer to be called?
Christine Helm:
It does not matter.
Sir Wilfrid:
Does it not? In this country, we are inclined to take a rather more serious view of marriage. However, Frau Helm, it would appear that when you first met the prisoner in Hamburg, you lied to him about your marital status?
Christine Helm:
I wanted to get out of Germany, so—
Sir Wilfrid:
You lied, did you not? Just yes or no, please.
Christine Helm:
Yes.
Sir Wilfrid:
Thank you. And subsequently, in arranging the marriage, you lied to the authorities?
Christine Helm:
I, um, did not tell the truth to the authorities.
Sir Wilfrid:
You lied to them?
Christine Helm:
Yes.
Sir Wilfrid:
And in the ceremony of marriage itself, when you swore to love and to honor and to cherish your husband, that, too, was a lie?
Christine Helm:
Yes.
Sir Wilfrid:
And when the police questioned you about this wretched man who believed himself married and loved, you told them—
Christine Helm:
I told them what Leonard wanted me to say.
Sir Wilfrid: [''beginning to chuckle now'']
You told them that he was at home with you at 25 minutes past 9, and now you say that that was a lie?
Christine Helm:
Yes, a lie!
Sir Wilfrid: [''chuckling again'']
And when you said that he had accidentally cut his wrist, again, you lied?
Christine Helm:
Yes!
Sir Wilfrid: [''chuckling further''; ''serious now'']
And now today you've told us a new story entirely! The question is, Frau Helm, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR?!

Witness for the Prosecution - Cocoa and Brandy: A Playful Exchange
Sir Wilfrid:
I'd better take that thermos of cocoa with me. It helps me wash down down the pills.
Miss Plimsoll: [opens thermos and smells]
Let me see. My learned patient is not above substituting brandy for cocoa. Sniff, sniff. It is cocoa. So sorry.
Sir Wilfrid:
If you were a woman, Miss Plimsoll, I would strike you.

Witness for the Prosecution - Confidence in the Face of Drama
Sir Wilfrid:
Be prepared for hysterics and even a fainting spell. Better have smelling salts handy and a nip of brandy.
Christine Vole:
I do not think that will be necessary. I never faint because I am not sure that I will fall gracefully and I never use smelling salts because they puff up the eyes. I am Christine Vole.

Witness for the Prosecution - Justice and Misunderstandings in England
Leonard Vole:
But this is England, where I thought you never arrest, let alone convict, people for crimes they have not committed.

We try not to make a habit of it.

What? You said I'd like him.

But I do have a lighter.
Sir Wilfird:
You're quite right, Mayhew. I do like him.

Witness for the Prosecution - A Lawyer's Unfortunate Fate
Miss Plimsoll:
I almost married a lawyer once. I was in attendance when he had his appendectomy, and we became engaged as soon as he could sit up... and then peritonitis set in and he went just like that!
Sir Wilfrid:
He certainly was a lucky lawyer.

Witness for the Prosecution - A Discourse on Silence and Conversation
Miss Plimsoll:
Shall we roll up the window, Sir Wilfrid?
Sir Wilfrid:
Just roll up your mouth, you talk too much. If I'd known how much you talk I'd never have come out of my coma.
