• [Vanessa Ives becomes possessed while sitting across from Sir Malcolm] 

  Vanessa Ives : [speaking as Mina]  I wonder... I wonder when was the moment you knew you wanted to fuck her? Why were you not more discreet? Vanessa heard you, the two of you. She heard you fucking and she was curious. She walked closer, she rounded the corner and discovered you, the two of you. You know, fucking. Fucking her cunt. Vanessa saw that.

  Vanessa Ives : [Vanessa slams her chair back, crawling on the table]  Fucking animal. You man. You animal. You man. You animal. Betrayer! Creature!

  Vanessa Ives : [Vanessa stands on the table looking to the ceiling of the room]  I look into his eyes and they are red with blood like from Peter's ass. His lips are red like blood from her cunt when you fucked her. His teeth are sharp like yours when you bit her cunt. And it's so cold and dark and wet like the jungle. Like tears, I am crying. I am so afraid, father. Find me! Find me! Save me! Save me!

  [as Vanessa arches her back when the guests begin to scream] 

• [Vanessa Ives meets Dorian Gray for the first time while at Ferdinand Lyle's party] 

  Dorian Gray : I couldn't help but notice your skepticism.

  Vanessa Ives : Am I skeptical?

  Dorian Gray : About the room. Rather aggressive in the chinoiserie and geographically capricious to say the least. In this one room, there's Japanese, Siamese, Egyptian, Balinese, and something I take to be last season's panto of Aladdin.

  [the two chuckle together] 

• [Dorian Gray tells Vanessa Ives how he arrived to Ferdinand Lyle's party] 

  Dorian Gray : It was more of a... random invitation.

  Vanessa Ives : Do you get many of those?

  Dorian Gray : Entirely.

  Vanessa Ives : You could say 'no.'

  Dorian Gray : I never say 'no'.
