Quotes

[edit]
Viktor: Mine!
[gesturing at Eva]
Baron: Take your filthy hands off me!
Viktor: [grabbing Eva's hand] For me!
Baron: Yes, she's for you.

Eva: A woman should do as she pleases, just like a man. You taught me that.

Baron: You must trust me, and you must obey me!
Eva: I will not obey you! I will not!
Baron: Don't provoke me, Eva!
Eva: I will provoke you!

Eva: You taught me out of books, but I have a life of my own. You didn't create me! You didn't create me!
Baron: As a matter of fact... I did. I sowed you together out of corpses. I brought you to life by means of an electric charge. I created your body, just as I created your mind. And I can uncreate it too.

Clerval: The trouble with free women, Charles, is they're free to despise us. It's a risk I find unacceptable.

Rinaldo: [seeing Viktor's scars] Oh, my... here's a man that's been mistreated in his life.
Viktor: Not a real man.
Rinaldo: Stuff and nonsense! I've been around the world a time or two, and I've travelled with many men for a long way or a short way, and I can't say I've ever had better company than I've had with you. You're a man to be reckoned with, in my books. You're a man of virtue.
Viktor: [smiling] A friend?
Rinaldo: [shakes his hand] Yes. I'm proud to call you that.

Eva: What is 'dead'?
Baron: Sleeping... sleeping forever. One day, we go to sleep and we don't wake up.
Eva: I don't think I could sleep that long.

Eva: You can do what you like! You can take apart the body you put together, you can take away the life you gave me, but you cannot have me. Not ever. Not even if you murder me and raise me up 1,000, 1,000 times, you cannot have me.
