The Axeman
- Cordelia Foxx: Who are you? What do you want?
- The Axeman: Release.
- Cordelia Foxx: I can't do that.
- The Axeman: Don't think so, dirty pussy cat? Goddamn witches. They ended me once, right here in this very room. And for years after, the parties and the music and the dancing raged wild outside while I sat trapped inside these four ugly walls. Now, last night, this sweet young witch comes along and offers me my release, and I said, "Oh, yes, ma'am, yes, please. What do you need?" She asks her favor, and I provide. The thing is, when the time comes for her to ante up, bitch lies, leaving me betwixt, between and ready to pop.
- Cordelia Foxx: You died?
- The Axeman: Uh-huh.
- Cordelia Foxx: And now you're trapped.
- The Axeman: Right here with you.
- Cordelia Foxx: The only way I can help you is if you let me out of here.
- The Axeman: No. Nobody leaves this room. You see, I had a... a contract. Promises were made, and all you've got to do is sing and dance, and call the witches who owe me my freedom. And I'll provide the music.
- Lady Reading Newspaper: Yes. Just as expected. Death.
- [on reading Tarot Cards for Axeman]
- The Axeman: You have no-one to blame but yourself.
- Witch: That reading was for you!
- The Axeman: Well, hello pretty lady. What you drinking?

- The Axeman: They have never seen me, "for I am invisible, "even as the ether which surrounds your earth.

- The Axeman: I am not a human being, but a spirit, a fell demon from hottest hell. I am what you Orleanians call, the Axeman.
- The Axeman: When I see fit, I shall come again and claim other victims. I alone, know who they shall be. I shall leave no clue, except, my bloody axe. Undoubtedly, you Orleanians think of me as a most horrible murderer... for which I am! But, I could be much worse if I wanted too. At will, i could slay thousands of your best citizens, for I am in close relationship with the Angel of Death.
