7 quotesHeathcliff's Despair Over Catherine's Death
Ellen
Oh my wild heart! Miss Cathy. She's gone! She's gone!
Dr. Kenneth
You've done your last black deed, Heathcliff. Leave this house.
Edgar
She's at peace now, in Heaven beyond us.
Heathcliff
What do they know of Heaven or Hell, Cathy, who know nothing of life? Oh, they're praying for you, Cathy. I'll pray one prayer with them - I repeat til my tongue stiffens - Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest so long as I live on! I killed you. Haunt me, then! Haunt your murderer! I know that ghosts have wandered on the Earth. Be with me always. Take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this dark alone where I cannot find you. I cannot live without my life! I cannot die without my soul!

Reflection on the Cost of War
Phipps
It's his helmet and goggles. It means a very gallant gentleman died this afternoon. And for what? What have all these deaths accomplished? So many fine chaps have died in this war and are going to die in future wars. That's all, gentlemen.

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!

Morning Conversations About a Missing Dog
Phipps
You know, Brand, it'd be awfully nice if we had a dog around here in the mornings to come in and cheer us up. Here! Come on, fella! Come on here! Mind your muddy feet. Come on!
[whimsically after reading a letter from home; whistling and talking to an imagined dog]
Maj. Brand
What you doing?
[not really listening]
Phipps
Uh, the dog.
Maj. Brand
Dog? What dog? Where?
Phipps
No, I say it would be nice if we had a dog to come in here in the mornings to sort of cheer us up, you know? And... I thought it would be sort of cozy, you know.
[He mutters as he realizes Brand has not been listening to him. He kisses the letter]

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!
