Mr. Wilson
Look out the window. Look!
Professor Charles Rankin
Well, that's... that's an old trick, Mr. Wilson, a very poor trick.
Mr. Wilson
Tricks. That's all you know is tricks. I don't need any tricks! And no matter what happens to me, tricks won't do you any good. You're finished, Herr Franz Kindler.

I came to kill you.
Professor Charles Rankin
No, no, Mary, it's you that's going to die. You were meant to fall through that ladder.
