Count Karnstein
- Count Karnstein: What's the meaning of this, Weil? Out witch-hunting again? You've come to the wrong place.
- Gustav Weil: We seek the servants of the devil.
- Count Karnstein: Well, you've found one. Me! Now get out!
- Count Karnstein: [pointing to ancestral portraits] They knew! They didn't play at being wicked. They worshipped the devil and he taught them delights that you will never know! Of punishment: inflicting and receiving it. Of torture. And death. Yes, of death and of pleasures beyond the grave. Something you could not even comprehend! But I know.
- Dietrich: [watching staged black mass with Count Karnstein] Your Excellency is pleased with the entertainment? He's calling out the devil.
- Count Karnstein: Well, so can I. Or you. But will the devil come?
- Dietrich: Fresh blood?
- Count Karnstein: The guts of a chicken or a suckling pig. The devil won't be cheated as easily as that, Dietrich.
- Dietrich: Your Excellency is pleased with the girl?
- Count Karnstein: A peasant, bought for a few gold coins. Can you never find anything new? Different?
- Dietrich: Well, you know, my lord, I try.
- Count Karnstein: They say that Gustav Weil has two pretty nieces staying with him. Twins. That would be something different.
- Dietrich: Your Excellency is pleased to joke. We do not want trouble with a man like Weil.
- Count Karnstein: I don't know why I employ you, Dietrich. You bore me, personally, and everything you do for me I find tedious, including this charade.
