- Jerry Fletcher: Are you really a hundred?
- Adam Adamant: Well, I soon shall be.
- Jerry Fletcher: You look better than my granddad. And he's only 82.
- [Adamant laughs]
- Jerry Fletcher: [referring to Georgina] This your bird?
- Georgina Jones: [laughs] Oh, charming!
- Adam Adamant: Yes, well, Miss Jones are merely friends.
- Jerry Fletcher: I've heard that one before.
- Adam Adamant: This is no ordinary villain that we are up against.
- William E. Simms: But why, sir? What's the motive?
- Adam Adamant: No motive, Simms. This is evil for evil's sake. Unless I'm very much mistaken, we're about to cross swords with the devil himself.
- Adam Adamant: [Georgie lies down on Adam's bed in his hotel room] My dear Miss Jones, would you leave immediately?
- Georgina Jones: Why?
- Adam Adamant: Have you no sense of propriety?
- Georgina Jones: Propriety's as square as laced-up corsets.
- Adam Adamant: Oh, my dear Miss Jones, I do wish you'd choose your similies with a bit more caution.
- Dr. Craigshaw: It is useless to struggle, Mr. Adamant. You won't escape.
- Adam Adamant: Nor will you escape, sir. For you are a prisoner of your own evil practices.
- Myra Bamford: How can you call the search for pleasure 'evil'?
- Adam Adamant: How can you call these obscene rites 'pleasure', madam?
- Myra Bamford: Is he to be sacrificed, Doctor?
- Dr. Craigshaw: I think not, my dear. Mr. Adamant is a very ingenious man. And deserves an equally ingenious death.
