  • Andrew Braddock: [to Moreau] No, no! You're the animal!
  • Dr. Paul Moreau: If one is to study nature, one must become as remorseless as nature. You should know that!

  • Sayer of the Law: Back to the house of pain!
  • Andrew Braddock: What kind of animals are on this island?
  • Montgomery: [Amused at the question] All kinds, lad. All kinds.
  • [laughs]
  • Dr. Paul Moreau: You've been drinking for two straight days, Montgomery. I suggest that you continue.
  • Sayer of the Law: Are we not men?
  • Andrew Braddock: [to Moreau, after witnessing the bear-man] What in the name of God are you doing?
  • Montgomery: Don't worry, Braddock. You'll get over it - just like I did!
  • Dr. Paul Moreau: Tend to the horses, Mr. Montgomery!
  • Dr. Paul Moreau: How does a cell become enslaved to a form, to a destiny it can never change? Can we change that destiny?

  • [first lines]
  • Andrew Braddock: Come on, Charlie. We made it!
  • Maria: [just before she's about to close the door] What's your name?

  • Andrew Braddock: If you don't like it here, why do you stay?
  • Montgomery: I sleep better here. Not well. But *better!*
  • Maria: I couldn't live any other place but here.
  • Andrew Braddock: But why? Why do you keep saying that?
  • Maria: This is the only place I know.
  • Dr. Paul Moreau: At times I rise above my ambition, mostly I fall below.
  • Montgomery: [as the mob of beast-men growl up at them] They seem to like you, Braddock.

  • Dr. Paul Moreau: You've been drinking for two days, Montgomery. I suggest you continue.
  • Montgomery: Let him up! Let him up now!
  • Dr. Paul Moreau: If one is to study nature, one must become as remorseless as nature. You know that.
  • Montgomery: Who's next? Me?
  • [draws gun]
  • Montgomery: Unlock those chains or I swear I'll kill you!
  • [levels gun at Moreau]
  • Maria: Andrew! Moreau's leaving!
  • Andrew Braddock: Get... Montgomery!
  • Maria: Montgomery's dead!
  • [Andrew whirls around, and she is shocked to see that he has begun to transform into a beast]
  • Andrew Braddock: [yelling to the man-beasts re the hoisted corpse of Dr. Moreau] You see? He is not dead! He's alive!
  • Dr. Paul Moreau: [he's injected Andrew and Maria stares at him] You can understand, can you?
  • Maria: Don't let him suffer. Please.
  • Dr. Paul Moreau: I can't help that.
  • Maria: Please.
  • Dr. Paul Moreau: [he reaches out towards her] Maria...
  • [but she turns away from him]
  • Andrew Braddock: What is this place?
  • Montgomery: This place? Paradise!
  • Andrew Braddock: [to Dr. Moreau, after seeing the man-beasts:] *What were they?*
