Quotes
-
Elishama Levinsky : Behold, your God shall come with a recompense. Then the eyes of the blind shall be open and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then, shall the lame man leap like a deer and in the wilderness, shall the waters break out.
Mr. Charles Clay : What was all that? Has it happened?
Elishama Levinsky : No.
Mr. Charles Clay : Is is happening now?
Elishama Levinsky : No.
Mr. Charles Clay : Who put that thing together?
Elishama Levinsky : The prophet Isaiah.
Mr. Charles Clay : The prophet. Bah. I don't like prophecies. People should only record things that already happened.
-
Mr. Charles Clay : I don't like pretense. I don't like prophecies. I like facts.

Mr. Charles Clay : You think you move at your own will? Not so. You move with my bidding. Two young strong and lusty jumping jacks--in this old hand of mine.

Mr. Charles Clay : He's young, eh, Levinsky? He's full of the juices of life. He has blood in him. I suppose he's got tears. He longs and yearns for the things which dissolve people--for friendship, for love. Such things, a man's bones are dissolved. Once I broke with a partner of mine because I wouldn't allow him to become my friend, and dissolve my bones.
