Edwina Lionheart
- Peregrine Devlin: Hello, Edwina. I thought it was you.
- Edwina Lionheart: Well, the brilliant Peregrine Devlin. Wielder of the brutal aphorism, master of the killing phrase, my father's murderer.
- Peregrine Devlin: That's a bit melodramatic, isn't it?
- Edwina Lionheart: Forgive me. I forgot. It was your reverence and admiration that drove him to take his own life.
- Peregrine Devlin: You don't understand.
- Edwina Lionheart: I understand that the greatest actor of all time never earned your approval for one single performance. Never. Not one good review.
- Peregrine Devlin: Look, Edwina, your father's body was never found.
- Edwina Lionheart: My father is as good as under that granite!
- Edwina Lionheart: I'm busy, Devlin.
- Peregrine Devlin: Edwina, four of my collegues have been murdered. And their deaths relate directly to your father's last season.
- Edwina Lionheart: If you were as imaginative in your reviews, Devlin, you'd be a better critic.
- Edwina Lionheart: You drunken bum! You should treasure this opportunity to listen to a master, the world's greatest living actor!
- Edwina Lionheart: It's all right, sir. You're among friends, sir.
- Hector Snipe: Thank you. I was beginning to get a bit nervous.
- Edward Lionheart: We were just rehearsing Troilus and Cressida. Specifically the scene where Hector, thinking he's among friends, is unexpectedly killed by them.
- Hector Snipe: Lionheart, I came here for an interview, not a lecture on Shakespeare. Now tell me the amazing story of your resurrection.
- Edward Lionheart: It's a grave tale, Snipe. But I think you can rise to the occasion.
- [Snipe is catapulted onto the stage, where the tramps begin to attack him]
- Peregrine Devlin: Think about your daughter! Imagine what your madness is doing to her!
- Edward Lionheart: My daughter? Edwina?
- [the hippie removes his beard and glasses to reveal he is Edwina]
- Edwina Lionheart: You have begot me, bred me, loved me: I return those duties back as are right fit. Obey you, love you, and most honour you.
