Diabolik
- Diabolik: [as he and Valmont freefall from a plane that has suddenly exploded] I almost forgot. When I stumbled, I attached a magnetic capsule to your plane.
- Ralph Valmont: Who cares? Pull the cord!
- Diabolik: [disguised as an elderly relative of Valmont collecting his ashes] He was basically a good boy... always sent money to Mama.
- [coughs]
- Crematoria Operator: There, there. Buck up. He'll soon be home at last. He's at peace now. Let's see if he's ready yet.
- [hands Diabolik the urn]
- Crematoria Operator: Please.
- [checks inside the retort]
- Crematoria Operator: Ah, yes, he's ready!
- [opens the oven door and prepares to extract Valmont's ashes]
- Crematoria Operator: Every time... I reflect on Man's insignificance...
- [notices the emeralds in the ashes]
- Crematoria Operator: I say!
- [Diabolik knocks him out with the urn]
- Old Woman: Excuse me, where is the doctor?
- Diabolik: He's in shock.
- Old Woman: What?
- [Diabolik limps briefly, then discards his cane and runs away]
- Diabolik: You got the time, baby?
- Eva Kant: [posing as a prostitute] Depends, handsome - so far, I've turned down all offers.
- Diabolik: Why? What's your price?
- Eva Kant: An emerald necklace!
- Diabolik: [chuckles] You look worth it. Hop in.
- [she gets into Diabolik's Jaguar]
- Diabolik: Well?
- Eva Kant: Lady Clark's room is... is the highest window, the one that's lit up.
- Diabolik: And?
- Eva Kant: l saw a truck delivering some television equipment.
- Diabolik: Closed-circuit TV... many police?
- Eva Kant: About fifty outside, and thirty inside dressed as waiters.
- Diabolik: Hm, and Ginko's the chef.
- Eva Kant: I didn't see Ginko.
- Diabolik: If you didn't see him... he's there. Anyone notice you?
- Eva Kant: Oh, one of the girls on the sidewalk asked me a few questions. She thought l was trying to move in on her beat - a redhead.
- [they chuckle, not knowing the redhead is a spy for Valmont]
- Diabolik: [as the police swarm the underground lair] Run. I'll meet you in Tunnel Number 7; they'll never find us there.
- Eva Kant: [panicked] Why aren't you coming now?
- Diabolik: I've got to open the locks. They'll drown like rats.
- Eva Kant: I'll wait for you. I'm not going alone!
- Diabolik: Eva, you'll not be alone while I live! Now, go!
- [Eva slowly disappears into the darkness of a cave]
- Dr. Ferrara - Morgue Physician: We'll begin with a circular incision... scalpel.
- [Eva, disguised as a nurse, reluctantly hands him the scalpel. As Ferrara prepares the incision, Diabolik suddenly awakens, pulls off his surgical mask and turns the scalpel on him]
- Diabolik: Krushan, doctor. The Tibetan lamas have used it for three thousand years. lt brings on a state of suspended animation for twelve hours. But if you're not given the antidote, the apparent death becomes real. How long's it been, Eva?
- Eva Kant: [checks a clock] Eleven hours and fifty-seven minutes. I thought it would be too late.
- Ralph Valmont: The necklace.
- Diabolik: When I've got Eva back.
- Ralph Valmont: No necklace, no Eva. That's the deal!
- Diabolik: Is that the only deal you've got going today, Valmont?
- Ralph Valmont: I don't have to talk. I could kill you instead.
- Diabolik: Go ahead. All you've got to do is push that button.
- [Valmont doesn't push the trapdoor button. Diabolik walks away from the trapdoor towards him]
- Diabolik: Valmont, this is most unprofessional.
