- Deborah Kedding: Pass me a knife, would you?
- Henry Noland: I suppose a fork is out of the question?
- Deborah Kedding: Not necessarily. But let's have dinner first.
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: What the devil is that?
- Dr. Barbara Coyle: Sounds like a lot of monks exploding.
- Elliot Broome: That's strange, I thought the phones where dead.
- Stephen Wilson: Why do you think that?
- Elliot Broome: They usually are in situations like this.
- Elliot Broome: That's the trouble with life today. Too many people assume things and then form opinions, wrongly based on false assumptions.
- Stephen Wilson: You mean?
- Elliot Broome: Precisely. People always assume that because I'm not interested in football or swilling beer in the local pub every night, and would rather stay at home and lull up a pair of curtains, I must therefore in some way be... less than a man.
- Stephen Wilson: My experience... exactly.
- Henry Noland: Eighteen in one night? God, that must have put you off sex for life.
- Deborah Kedding: Not really, life goes on.
- Henry Noland: You're one brave lady. I suppose you had a psychiatrist?
- Deborah Kedding: Yes, one of them was a psychiatrist.
- Henry Noland: You're kidding me?
- Deborah Kedding: No, he was the last one and he made me tell about the other seventeen.
- Henry Noland: Oh God, some people are disgusting.
- Sinister Man: He says we must gather up all the faggots and burn them.
- Brother Theresa: I'm not sure I like the sound of this!
- Cult member: Don't worry, Brother Theresa, he means wood.
- Dr. Barbara Coyle: Look out, a bat!
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: [a bat falls on Mandeville's hat] A cricket bat?
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: I find this case enthralling. Have you read all the reports?
- Dr. Barbara Coyle: No.
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: Well if you had, you'd know about the strange things that have taken place in that house years ago. Do you realize that eighteen people were murdered there one night?
- Dr. Barbara Coyle: Coincidence. Anyway, Lightning never strikes twice.
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: Well it did then. Two people were struck by lightning. Two who's throats were slit. One was hung. Two were axed, four people were skewered in the same bed. And a man watching, simply blew up!
- Dr. Barbara Coyle: What happened to the other six?
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: What?
- Dr. Barbara Coyle: You said there were eighteen.
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: Oh, yes, yes, the other six. They were found frozen to death in the deep freeze. All wrapped in cling film. They'd been shot.
- Policewoman: Hello, police, can I help you?
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: Yes, I'd like to report a dead body.
- Policewoman: Yes sir, what type of a dead body?
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: Type? Ehm... Upside down with big chests, what's that got to do with it?
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: Now look here. I think we ought to search the house immediately. We'll divide up into pairs. Stephen, Elliot, you stay here and watch the machinery. Okay, the rest of you, follow me.
- Elliot Broome: [Elliot is being strangled by his doppelganger] It's me!... does this count as suicide?
- Dr. Lukas Mandeville: What the devil is that?
- Dr. Barbara Coyle: Sounds like a lot of monks exploding.
