Marisa Mell: Eva Kant

Danger: Diabolik

Eva Kant

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]

Eva Kant: You've been asleep for twenty hours.
Diabolik: Twenty hours?
Eva Kant: I slipped you a sleeping pill.
Diabolik: Why?
[Eva gently kisses his nose]
Eva Kant: When you're not planning, I'm afraid you get restless. I'd rather have you sleep.
[they kiss]

Diabolik: Don't come near, honey. Molten gold wouldn't suit your skin.
Eva Kant: You be careful.
Diabolik: Don't worry. With this suit, l could swim through the center of the sun.

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]

[last lines]
Eva Kant: [to Inspector Ginko after Diabolik seemingly dies covered in gold] Please... give me a few seconds more. Alone.
[Ginko turns away. Diabolik winks at her]
Eva Kant: Thank you, Inspector. You don't know how... grateful I am.

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.

Diabolik: [after placing nine of the emeralds around Eva's chest] Happy birthday.
Eva Kant: Oh, you shouldn't have done it!
[they kiss and fall into a pool]

Eva Kant: [talking to journalists while disguised as a nurse and wheeling Diabolik away] I'm sorry. All l can tell you is that it will be... sensational. Bye, now.
