- Smolkin - the gravedigger: Merry, Merry, more to bury, how does my garden grow? With marble stones, and ankle bones, and relatives all in a row!
- Smolkin, the Gravedigger: Hickory dickory dorse / My guest is dead, of course / The clock struck two / He's turning blue / With little or no remorse.
- Smolkin, the Gravedigger: [singing] Three Witches have heads / But they'll sever them all / The head of Helen is the third that must fall / All the Kings horses and all the Kings men cannot put the witches together again.
- Professor Ulbrecht Olinger: And where will you find a subject weak and impressionable enough to arrive at the required depth of trance?
- Quintus: [Summoning Diana] Diana!
- Professor Ulbrecht Olinger: What's her full name?
- Quintus: Who knows? She calls herself Diana Love,
- Professor Ulbrecht Olinger: Don't be afraid my dear, no one's going to hurt you.
- Diana Love: I'm not afraid of you or anybody else.
- Quintus: We'll be with you in a moment Diana.
- Professor Ulbrecht Olinger: Where did you find her?
- Quintus: What does it matter?
- Professor Ulbrecht Olinger: You took her off the street tonight? You unmitigated fool.
- [Diana surreptitiously picks pocket of professor's coat]
- Quintus: Am I? Her type is the most easily influenced of basic character groups and almost devoid of willpower. That's why I chose one of her class.
- Professor Ulbrecht Olinger: Has she agreed to this?
- Quintus: I'm paying her well, though I dare say she has no idea what I'm paying her for.
