Svengali - 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.

Svengali - The Dangers of Hypnosis and Manipulation
Trilby O'Farrell: [after Svengali has hypnotized her, making her headache disappear]
What'd he do?
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!

Svengali - 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 Dawn Patrol - Morning Conversations About a Missing Dog
Phipps: [whimsically after reading a letter from home; whistling and talking to an imagined dog]
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!
Maj. Brand: [not really listening]
What you doing?
Phipps:
Uh, the dog.
Maj. Brand:
Dog? What dog? Where?
Phipps: [He mutters as he realizes Brand has not been listening to him. He kisses the letter]
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.

The Dawn Patrol - Reflection on the Cost of War
Phipps: [Opens package dropped by enemy plane; pause]
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.

Wuthering Heights - Heathcliff'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!
