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!

Black Moon - Conflict Over Past Choices and Present Circumstances
Juanita Perez Lane:
Orders! Who is he to give me orders?
John Macklin:
He's only the man who saved you from a living death. Those natives never thanked him for sending you away from the island and they've never forgotten it.
Juanita Perez Lane:
Neither have I.
John Macklin:
How can you say that? You've a fine husband and a beautiful child. She looks just as you did - before that black woman Ruva got hold of you and filled you with the sound of the drums and the sight of blood. Poisoned you with the voodoo!

Black Moon - Voodoo Drums and Returning Presence
John Macklin:
The voodoo drums are going. They started when the natives found out that you were coming back. For the first time in years, there was a sacrifice that night.
Juanita Perez Lane:
Well, you don't mean to tell me that my coming has anything to do with the voodoo drums?
