• [first lines] 

  The Scarab : This is the voice of the Scarab, Wilson. I command you to drive your car over the cliff!

• Dr. Cyrus Maldor : Tell me, where are they keeping Hillman?

  Gail Richards : If I knew, I wouldn't tell you. Fortunately, only the District Attorney knows.

  Dr. Cyrus Maldor : I had thought that you would say that, but I have the means of making you tell me the truth. This contains an extract of groofula jungle flower, which is a very efficient truth serum. Under its influence, you will tell me anything I want to know. Unfortunately for you, the effects never wear off and you'll spend the rest of your life in an insane asylum - a hopeless idiot!

• Dr. Cyrus Maldor : So you lied to me! No one can do that and live.

  [He shows Gail a hideous mummified corpse] 

  Dr. Cyrus Maldor : This looks a thousand years old... but it isn't. A week ago, he was a living, breathing man, but he disobeyed my orders. He was placed in this case and in a short time he became the withered mummy you see before you. And you'll be just like that in a few minutes!

• Prof. Lyman : You! the Scarab.

  The Scarab : Yes. I'm the Scarab. It is my vengeance that is striking at all of you.

• The Scarab : If his device works, I must have it. I've always dreamed of an elixer that would give me power over death itself...
