- Count Andre Dakkar: Who am I? I'm a scientist - who asks nothing, but to be left alone. Here on my island we don't think of kings or rank or power. Here the humblest workman in my shops, the peasant who tills my field, is my equal. We work with but one end: to study, to learn, to be free! To seek happiness, each in his own way.
- Count Andre Dakkar: No one has seen such creatures anywhere on land or sea.
- Baron Falon: Nor have you, Andre.
- Count Andre Dakkar: No, that is true. But, I've built one!
- Baron Falon: What?
- Count Andre Dakkar: Bit by bit. Bone by bone.
- Baron Falon: [to the Countess] In behalf of my friend - your brother - I feel I should protect you against the advances of - - - - a servant!
- Nikolai: The fault was wholly mine, Countess Sonia. I can only offer you my humblest apologies.
- Baron Falon: You upstart! I'll see that you are beaten with horsewhips...
- Count Andre Dakkar: Here - on this island - all men are equal, Falon.
- Baron Falon: I know - of course - but - but - - a sister of Count Dakkar - and - *and a common workman*!
- Count Andre Dakkar: No doubt Nikolai has carried things too far, Baron Falon. I'll speak to him - severely.
- Title Card: Blood! Bewildering - maddening...
- Count Andre Dakkar: Death is close upon me. In the years to come, I do not wish to be remembered as one who brought into the world an instrument of death and destruction. Look!
