Diana Palmer
- Diana Palmer: Before I go... take off your mask? Let me see your face... Kit.
- The Phantom: You know, I'm not really permitted to reveal all of my secrets, Diana.
- Diana Palmer: You're not?
- The Phantom: Actually, I am. That's only to one person.
- Diana Palmer: Who's that?
- The Phantom: The woman I intend to marry.
- Diana Palmer: [smiles] And what if she refuses you?
- The Phantom: [smiles back] Nobody refuses the Phantom.
- Kit Walker: Now, I read about what happened. Are you all right?
- Diana Palmer: Oh, I'm fine. It started out bad, but all turned out okay.
- The Phantom: It all began 400 years ago, when a boy saw his father murdered by pirates of the Sengh Brotherhood. That same boy swore an oath of vengeance. He would fight piracy, greed and cruelty in all its forms. He became the first Phantom. I'm his descendant, Diana, sworn to carry out his oath. The mantle of the Phantom was passed on from father to son. Twenty Phantoms came before me, but no one knew that. They thought he was the same Phantom and that he was immortal. That's why they called him "The Ghost Who Walks". I'm not immortal, Diana. I was born right here in this cave, and educated in America. When my father was killed, I came back to take his place.
- Diana Palmer: And one day, your own son will take your place.
- The Phantom: Yes.
- Kit Walker: I gotta say, Diana, you look great. You have NOT changed a bit.
- Diana Palmer: You just vanished, Kit.
- Kit Walker: I guess I did.
- Diana Palmer: Without a word, without a letter, not even a phone call.
- Kit Walker: No.
- Diana Palmer: Why?
- Kit Walker: I had to go home. My father died rather suddenly.
- Diana Palmer: I'm sorry.
- Kit Walker: I had to take over the family business. It's hard to explain, but I've thought a lot about you since then, Diana.
- Diana Palmer: I've thought about you too, Kit. Then I stopped and went on with my life.
- Diana Palmer: I came here to do a job and that's what I'm gonna do.
- The Phantom: Good-bye.
- [leaves the Skull Cave without speaking a word]
- Capt. Philip Horton: No one argues with the Phantom.
- Jimmy Wells: I had the strangest urge a few weeks ago! I wanted to charter a plane, track you down in the frozen north, charge into your tent, hut or log cabin, sweep you off your feet, and bring you back to New York.
- Diana Palmer: Really, Jimmy? Why didn't you?
- Jimmy Wells: After a few sets of tennis and a cold Gin Fizz, the urge just seemed to pass.
