"Only sometimes it isn't there." "(TYPEWRITER CLACKING)" ""An experiment in darkness, by Sir Michael Sinclair." ""Written in this the 22nd year of the reign of his gracious majesty," ""King Charles II." ""Instructions as to the entrapment of those yet to be born. "" "SINCLAIR:" "I have devoted these many years to the pursuit of that knowledge which men call evil." "Men avert their eyes rather than meet my glance, for I wear my knowledge about me like a cloak." "They whisper about me in corners, and there is much talk of witchcraft." "Were I not who I am, I might fear the stake." "I prepared me the room after many years, and at the expense of much blood." "A ghost room, kept alive by the life essences of those who have been sacrificed to it." "But even as the body needs food, the earth needs fertilizing, so the room from time to time must be fed." "Therefore, I prepared me the door, seeping it in blood that was still warm and making it a trap that will function in the time that has yet to come to trap the souls of those who are yet to be born." "They will come in when the time is right and give up their bodies and souls that I in the room may continue to be." "Or I will go forth beyond the door and find me a woman of their kind." "For a woman hath a more enduring quality." "(THUDDING)" "William, why are you..." "(ROSEMARY GASPS)" "There is a room." "I was in it." "And there was a man." "He followed me into the house." "If his purpose is what you said it was, why didn't he continue?" " Because he saw you." " What?" ""For a woman hath a more enduring quality. "" "We've got to get out of here." "You pack some things, I'll get the car." " But this is silly." "I mean..." " Just do as I say!" "(BELL TOLLING)" "It's jammed." "Telephone." "(ROSEMARY SCREAMING)" "Come." "Come!"

"I've loaded that one." "Now I have to load its twin brother." "You are interested, sir?" "Would you like to handle?" "I'll pass them over in the correct fashion." "I've seen them do it on the films." " Perfect." " Yes, aren't they?" " Now put your hands up." " Oh, come now, sir." "You wouldn't rob me." "I know you wouldn't." "Now do as I say and do it quick." "First the till." "I'm warning you, I'm in a hurry." " But, sir..." " Any nearer and I'll fire!" "Nay, but I'm defenseless." "Bang your head, sir." "You'll do yourself an injury." "I'll shoot." "I'm warning you, I'll shoot." "Nasty." "Oh, dear." "The love of money is the root of all evil." "(BELLS TINKLING)" "Aye, customers." "Come in." "Come in."
