Allan Quartermain: Well, we were the faster, but now we're the tortoise to his hare.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: So, we're done?
Tom Sawyer: No, we're alive. If M has any idea to the contrary, that gives us an edge.
Captain Nemo: The sea is vast, he could be anywhere.
Tom Sawyer: Yeah, well, I'm an optimist, now maybe that's a crime to you twisted so-and-so's but it keeps me from going crazy.
Mina Harker: Your optimism's out of place.
Tom Sawyer: You're wrong! Because we'll get out, man... at least, I will. That other agent I told you about... was my childhood friend. We were agents together until the Fantom shot him dead. Now you can be done, but I am not. I will avenge his death.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: It's not about any one of us, Tom, it's bigger than that.
Tom Sawyer: Yes, it is, Jekyll! The fate for the world is in our hands... the world! So M tricked you, he brought you all together and you walked straight into his trap. But the way that I see it, that's the part he did wrong... He brought you together.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: He has a point.
Allan Quartermain: And the boy becomes a man... perhaps a leader of men.

[he is shrugged off]
Captain Nemo: But how?
Allan Quartermain: We'll get our answers. Where are the others?
Mina Harker: [entering] Dorian's missing in action. And Mr. Skinner must have fled when he realized we knew.
Allan Quartermain: [concerned] Sawyer?
Tom Sawyer: [entering with a bloody lip] He'll live to fight another day.
Mina Harker: [advances towards Tom, he draws back] Don't worry, I've had my fill of throats for this evening.
-
Dr. Henry Jekyll: He's stolen us - and we let him!
-
Captain Nemo: Contain your evil, Doctor. I'll not have the brute free upon my ship. Must I take drastic steps?

Dr. Henry Jekyll: Liar. I am a good man.
Edward Hyde: Who's lying now? You want it, even more than you want her.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: No.
Edward Hyde: You can't shut me out forever. Drink the elixir.

Dr. Henry Jekyll: You might call it a fracture in my soul, something which left me with a taste for oblivion.
-
Dr. Henry Jekyll: It was the only way he could devise to set you free. It was inevitable from the moment I found how to achieve what I'd always wanted... To be the knife as well as the wound. Would you have ever forgiven me? I wanted the night... you see... and here it is...
-
[last lines]
Dr. Henry Jekyll: I wanted the night, you see. A - and here it is.

Mary Reilly: I don't.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Why not?
Mary Reilly: He put a dark place in me and I can't forgive him for that, but it's part of me now, and how can I regret what I am? Though it often makes me sad.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Oh, well, sadness, yes, that can't helped. That comes in like the tide.
-
Sir George Carew: In devoting yourself to others, Jekyll, aren't you neglecting the development of your own life?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Isn't it by serving others that one develops oneself, Sir George?
Sir George Carew: Which self? A man has two two - as he has two hands. Because I use my right hand, Should I never use my left?
[Carew pointedly moves both hands indepemdently, making his point known to the whole table]
Sir George Carew: Your really strong man fears nothing. It is the weak one that is afraid of - - experience.
-
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Poole, there's a friend of mine named - Hyde. I want him to have full liberty and authority about the house...

Dr. Henry Jekyll: [to Litauer] This moral quibbling is useless. Man as he is comprises two beings: one of whom I call man as he could be. In his perfection this inner man is beyond good and evil.
Dr. Ernst Littauer: And the other man?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: He too is beyond good and evil - man as he would be... free of all the restictions society imposes on us... subject only to his own will.
-
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [to Litauer] Resigning my appointment freed me from idiots who are no more scientists than I am a priest!

Dr. Henry Jekyll: London and I are virgins to one another.

Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Referring to deaf and dumb schoolchildren who are fighting at recess] In each one of these dumb human animals there is a personality which shows itself only in play.
Dr. Ernst Littauer: Dumb human animals? Henry, these are not pretty guinea pigs; they are children who cannot speak.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: But I am convinced that, in this case, the not speaking is a refusal of one part of the mind to allow the other part to express itself freely.
Dr. Ernst Littauer: You suggest they play out what they cannot speak out?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Precisely!
Dr. Ernst Littauer: You are the same Hnry Jekyll, forever seeking keys to the locked doors of the mind.
-
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Thunderstruck by the sensual beauty of the scantily clad exotic dancer] A tigress!
Paul Allen: [Detached] Tigers needn't lick their lips over her unless they're very rich.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Is she so exclusive?
Paul Allen: Only princes, pashes, millionaires, or distinguished actor/managers need apply.
[Aware of Hyde's fascination with the dancer as she continues her routine which climaxes with her putting the snake's head in her mouth]
Paul Allen: Forget it, John boy. She's not in the prep school class. Believe me, I've tried.
-
Paul Allen: [as the scantily clad Maria walks by their table going to her dressing room] Ah, Maria! The unattainable Eve with her apples and snakes.
Maria: [Politely] It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Allen.
Paul Allen: You have a new admirer, my dear, Mr. Edward Hyde.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Obviously attracted to her] Enchanted! My sincere compliments.
Maria: You are most kind, Mr. Hyde.
Paul Allen: Such natural manners. She only uses Christian names in bed.
[Insulted, Maria throws a drink from the table in his face]
-
Maria: [In her dressing room] Your friend talked to me like a common whore.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: In all fairness he never implied you were common.
Maria: [She takes off her mask and Hyde is struck by her exotic beauty] Just how much money did you have in mind, Mr. Hyde?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: I would not insult so beautiful a woman by offering her anything so trivial.
Maria: [Dismissively] So, thank you for your politeness, but good night.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Don't mention it.
[She walks into her bedroom and he confidently follows]
Maria: I have to dress.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Don't let me prevent you.
Maria: But I have an appointment.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: I'm afraid you'll be late.
Maria: What could possibly detain me?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Confidently] I intend to.
[laughs]
Maria: [Feigning insult] You are impertinent Mr. Hyde!
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Cooly] Yes, that is so.
Maria: [Intrigued] You have an amusing approach.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Merely direct.
Maria: You are very confident, aren't you?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Lighting a cigarillo] Could a man without confidence approach you?
Maria: The men who beg get nothing.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: I do not beg.
Maria: If a man buys, he pays much but gets very little.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: I am not buying.
Maria: [She approaches him] You do not buy... you do not beg.
[She takes his cigarillo, puts it in her mouth suggestively, and blows the smoke in his face]
Maria: Is there anywhere a man who simply takes?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Taking the cigarillo out of her hand] I am that man.
Maria: I thought you were.
[She puts her arms around his neck and they they kiss passionately as he takes her down to the bed and begins to undress her]
-
Dr. Henry Jekyll: I'm new to your wicked city.
Cabby: [after Jekyll is out of earshot] It's only wicked if you're poor, sir.
-
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Will we ever know who we really are?
-
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [as Hyde] What are you in for?
Paul Allen: About 2000 pounds.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Sell your soul.
Paul Allen: Gladly. No Takers.
-
Kitty Jekyll: Where is Henry?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [as Hyde] Believe me. Your husband is here.
