The Challenge of Stopping a Methodical Killer
Dr. Vesalius:
Human error won't stop him.
Inspector Trout:
Why? Wha'chu mean?
Dr. Vesalius:
He's had years to hide, to plot this damnable thing. He's compelling himself to follow exactly the classic death pattern of the G'tach. It's the psychic force that holds that man together, this maniacal precision. If we could just throw it off, interrupt the cycle, then he might be stopped by his own inflexible standards.

The organ plays till midnight! The large house in Maldene Square. Come alone!

Order of the Ten Plagues Discussed
Inspector Trout: [[w:Plagues of Egypt|ten curses]
Uh, the-these ], would they follow any particular order?
Rabbi:
Oh, w... that is a point that Talmudic scholars have debated for generations, but there is no doubt that the classical tradition is, uh: the curse of boils, bats, frogs, the curse of blood, the curse of rats, hail, of beasts, the locusts of course, the death of the first-born, and then, finally, of darkness.
Inspector Trout:
Darkness, Rabbi?
Rabbi:
Yes. The final curse upon the land, to end forever the sleep of man.

Confrontation of Guilt and Responsibility
Dr. Phibes:
I will have killed nine times in my life, Dr. Vesalius; how many murders can be attributed to you?

None, for I did not kill your wife!

No?
Dr. Vesalius:
I tried to save her...
Dr. Phibes:
With a knife in your hands? Doctor, I have no faith in your profession! I was told, after my crash that I would never speak again. The doctors were, of course, wrong, for as you see and can hear, I have used my knowledge of music and acoustics to re-create my voice!
Dr. Vesalius:
You don't need to remind me of your ingenuity, Dr. Phibes... WHERE IS MY SON?
