Quotes 

• Paul Toombes : Miss Peters, as they say in horror movies, you will come to a bad end.

• Paul Toombes : Everybody thinks I'm dead, including myself.

• Paul Toombes : Now I must play the final scene, the death of Dr Death!

• Quayle : I don't make that cheap crap any more. I'm in television now.

  Paul Toombes : Television? I thought that was a family medium.

• Carol : So you're the one who better watch it, mate.

  Paul Toombes : Your drama school accent is slipping.

• Herbert Flay : But you're dead. You're dead!

  Paul Toombes : Why did you do it, my friend? You killed Ellen... and all of the others, too. You wanted everybody to think that it was me. Why, Herbert? Why did you want to destroy me? You love Dr. Death.

• Paul Toombes : Who is Doctor Death? Herbert and I created him between us. No... we didn't create him, he was there... we found him in ourselves. We looked into the depths of our souls, and he was there. He was already there, and he will always be there.

• Paul Toombes : Now he must die... the Doctor Death that we created, he must die! I am not afraid... there is always room for more in the coffin of time! The instinct is alive within me! And you, Doctor Death? Are you afraid? No... No, you're going home! Come! LIGHTS! CAMERA!... ACTION!

• Paul Toombes : Man is born to live! He creates life, he welcomes life, he cherishes life! He creates NEW life! But deep in our souls, there lurks an instinct that welcomes death... it makes it easier when it comes. It isn't very strong, this death-instinct... it's only needed once. That's what we saw in the darkness. That is the sleeping phantom that we roused and clothed in black... a phantom FEEDING on death, CREATING death, EXULTING in DEATH!

• Paul Toombes : Who is Michael Parkinson?
