Joan Alison Quotes in The Black Cat (1934)

Dr. Vitus Verdegast: Did you ever hear of Satanism, the worship of the devil, of evil? Herr Poelzig is a great modern priest of that ancient cult. And tonight in dark of the moon the rites of Lucifer are celebrated. And if I'm not mistaken he intends you to play a part in that ritual... a very important part.

Joan Alison: Oh!

[breaks down crying and rushes to Vitus for consolation]

Dr. Vitus Verdegast: There, child. Be brave. No matter how hopeless it all seems.

[He looks over, hearing that the organ music has stopped, then looks back at her]

Dr. Vitus Verdegast: Be brave. It's your only chance.
