- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [to Litauer] This moral quibbling is useless. Man as he is comprises two beings: one of whom I call man as he could be. In his perfection this inner man is beyond good and evil.
- Dr. Ernst Littauer: And the other man?
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: He, too, is beyond good and evil - man as he would be... free of all the restictions society imposes on us... subject only to his own will.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: I'm new to your wicked city.
- Cabby: [after Jekyll is out of earshot] It's only wicked if you're poor, sir.
- Clubman: Damn bad luck you have been having, I hear, Allen, old man.
- Paul Allen: Damn bad luck.
- Clubman: Oh, well. Luck's a bitch, old boy.
- [laughs]
- Paul Allen: I shouldn't think so... Always have the best possible luck with bitches. Almost always, anyway.
- Clubman: [laughs heartily] Well, I'm swill.
- [drinks and walks away]
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [as Hyde] What are you in for?
- Paul Allen: About 2,000 pounds.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: Sell your soul.
- Paul Allen: Gladly. No takers.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [to Litauer] Resigning my appointment freed me from idiots who are no more scientists than I am a priest!
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [referring to deaf and mute schoolchildren who are fighting during recess] In each one of these dumb human animals there is a personality which shows itself only in play.
- Dr. Ernst Littauer: Dumb human animals? Henry, these are not pretty Guinea pigs, they are children who cannot speak.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: But I am convinced that, in this case, the not speaking is a refusal of one part of the mind to allow the other part to express itself freely.
- Dr. Ernst Littauer: You suggest they play out what they cannot speak out?
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: Precisely!
- Dr. Ernst Littauer: You are the same Henry Jekyll, forever seeking keys to the locked doors of the mind.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [as Hyde; thunderstruck by the sensual beauty of Maria, a scantily clad exotic dancer] A tigress!
- Paul Allen: [detached] Tigers needn't lick their lips over her unless they're very rich.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: Is she so exclusive?
- Paul Allen: Only princes, pashas, millionaires, or distinguished actor/managers need apply.
- [aware of Hyde's fascination with Maria as she continues her routine, which ends with her putting the snake's head into her mouth]
- Paul Allen: Forget it, John boy. She's not in the prep school class. Believe me, I've tried.
- Paul Allen: [as the scantily clad Maria walks by Paul's table while going to her dressing room] Ah, Maria! The unattainable Eve with her apples and snakes.
- Maria: [politely] It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Allen.
- Paul Allen: You have a new admirer, my dear, Mr. Edward Hyde.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [as Hyde; obviously attracted to her] Enchanted! My sincere compliments.
- Maria: You are most kind, Mr. Hyde.
- Paul Allen: Such natural manners. She only uses Christian names in bed.
- [insulted, Maria picks up a drink from the table and throws it in Paul's face]
- Maria: [in her dressing room] Your friend talked to me like a common whore.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [as Hyde] In all fairness, he never implied you were common.
- Maria: [she takes off her mask and Hyde is struck by her beauty] Just how much money did you have in mind, Mr. Hyde?
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: I would not insult so beautiful a woman by offering her anything so trivial.
- Maria: [dismissively] So thank you for your politeness, but good night.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: Don't mention it.
- [she walks into her bedroom and Hyde confidently follows her inside]
- Maria: I have to dress.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: Don't let me prevent you.
- Maria: But I have an appointment.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: I'm afraid you'll be late.
- Maria: What could possibly detain me?
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [confidently] I intend to.
- [laughs heartily]
- Maria: [feigning being insulted] You are impertinent, Mr. Hyde!
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [coolly] Yes, that is so.
- Maria: [clearly intrigued] You have an amusing approach.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: Merely direct.
- Maria: You are very confident, aren't you?
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [lighting a cigarillo] Could a man without confidence approach you?
- Maria: The men who beg get nothing.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: I do not beg.
- Maria: If a man buys, he pays much but gets very little.
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: I am not buying.
- Maria: [she approaches him] You do not buy... you do not beg.
- [she takes his cigarillo, puts it in her mouth suggestively, then inhales deeply and blows the smoke in his face]
- Maria: Is there anywhere a man who simply takes?
- Dr. Henry Jekyll: [taking the cigarillo out of her hand] I am that man.
- Maria: I thought you were.
- [she puts her arms around his neck and they kiss passionately as he takes her down to her bed and begins to take off her clothes]
- Paul Allen: I don't deserve you, Kitty.
- Kitty Jekyll: You don't. But I deserve you. I deserve nothing better than you.
- Nightclub Bouncer: Are you going to do something with this young lady, or do I have to teach you to behave like a gentleman?
