"Dr. Death, where are you?" "Let's smoke him out!" "Happy new year, everybody!" "And now, ladies and gentlemen..." "Dr. Death himself, Paul Toombes." "Thank you." "Well, my friends you've just seen the fifth Dr. Death epic in which I play many parts all brilliantly, of course." "If Dr. Death has been a hit it has been largely due to my dear friend Herbert Flay who gave up a very promising career as an actor when he found out he could write so well." "I have got something very important to tell you." "As you know, in Dr. Death pictures there's always a young and pretty victim." "Sometimes I, um, strangle her sometimes I boil her alive and sometimes if I'm lazy..." "I just, uh, slit her throat from ear to ear." "Well, tonight I would like you to meet my next victim:" "Ellen Mason." "Oh, I have a terrible fate in store for her." "I'm going to marry her." "Paul has everything now success, friendship love." "Well, that's Hollywood for you, sweetheart." "He's on the make, she's on the take." "You're the only girl who's ever been on the level with me." "Hey, Ken, I want you to meet Ellen." "Paulie!" "What a picture, Paulie." "You sure scared the pants off of me." "Who hasn't?" "Congratulations, Ellen." "You're marrying a fine monster." "My, what a lovely ring!" "All I ever got was a stake through the heart." "You're all heart, Faye." "Come on, darling." "Hey, Paul, congratulations." "I hope you have a long and happy marriage." "Thank you very much." "I'll see you later." "Close your eyes." "Oh, darling, it's beautiful." "Look inside, darling." "Very classy." "Must've cost you a couple of pennies, huh?" "I'm glad to see you finally held out for marriage this time." "Who's he?" "This is Oliver Quayle." "I'm a producer." "I make adult films for, uh, art houses." "Ellen used to be one of our stars." "She was one of the best when it came to stripping and getting down to the hard action." "Get out of here." "I..." "I meant it as a compliment." "She had sort of an intellectual approach to her work." "She always liked to read in bed." "Right, sweetheart?" "I must run some of your films." "In private, of course." "And I'd like a list of your bedside reading." "Paul, it was a long time ago at the start of my career." "Yes, of course, your career." "Well, I can do something for your career." "I can kill it!" "Paul..." "Very beautiful, very expensive." "I hope you didn't have to work too hard for it." "Hey, what's going on?" "They're all on the make." "All of them!" ""My darling Paul, all my love, Ellen."" "Aah!" "Happy new year, everybody!" "Happy new year!" "Ellen..." "Darling, I'm sorry, I..." "I shouldn't have said what I did." "You've had a breakdown." "You're under treatment." "You're being well looked after." "Try to remember..." "Did you do it?" "Did you do it?" "I..." "Don't know." "I don't know." "That was quite a few years ago." "The case was never solved." "After that, he turned into some kind of weirdo couldn't tell where he stopped and Dr. Death began." "The police used to find him walking up and down Sunset Boulevard in his Dr. Death costume." "They finally dragged him off to the funny farm,  but by the time he was cured,  there was no career left for him." "You don't live down the kind of headlines he was getting in the newspapers." ""Sex actress murdered." "Dr. Death accused."" ""Dr. Death acquitted."" ""Dr. Death retires."" "Perhaps he didn't do it." "He killed her, all right." "Oliver, I'm in public relations." "Not criminal aftercare." "All I'm asking you to do is collect him off the ship and make sure you get his pictures in the papers." "Why don't you go?" "No..." "No, this time I want to meet him on my home ground." "Are you sure the press will turn out?" "Are you kidding?" "His old movies show all the time on television." "There's a whole new cult today for Dr. Death and I've got him." "I've got Dr. Death." "What are you doing in here?" "I'm Elizabeth Peters, Mr. Toombes." "That's nice for you." "What do you want?" "You." "You're the only man onboard worth meeting,  and you never come out of your cabin." "How did you get in here?" "Now I'm here, you might be sociable." "Oh, come on, get off the bed." "You're going to England to make a television series, aren't you?" "So what?" "Now, get out of here." "Who's playing the girl's part?" "Is she cast yet?" "I haven't the slightest idea." "Now, come on, get out." "Surely you don't want another scandal." "I mean, anyone coming in here and seeing us like this would just think one thing." "Your champagne, sir." "Henry, I didn't order any champagne." "Now, take it away." "I'm very sorry, sir." "There's been a mistake." "It won't happen again, Mr. Toombes." "See to it that it doesn't." "I just had the order to bring in..." "Yes, go on, go on." "Look, all I need is a break." "Then I wouldn't tell the newspapers a thing." "Miss Peters, as they say in horror movies,  you will come to a bad end." "Out!" "You haven't seen the last of me, Paul." "There's a girl from the studio who's supposed to be here someplace." "Thank you very much, Henry." "Oh, thank you, Mr. Toombes." " Have a nice day, sir." " Thank you." "I'll see your luggage gets safely in the car." "Right, thanks." "The captain has that $100 as a reward in case anybody finds my watch." " Good-bye, Sir." " Good-bye." "Hey, Dr. Death!" " Hold it just there." " What?" "Wait a minute." "Wait." "Please, don't." "How does it feel to be in England?" "I was promised no reporters." "Please." "Dr. Death, who's this?" "Miss Kiss of Death." "That's enough." "You've had your pictures." "I'll talk to you tomorrow." "Come along." "Thanks." "It's not often that I'm rescued by a pretty girl." "It's my job." "I'm Julia Wilson, PR for your show." "Well, you're very good at it, I'm sure." "Yet." "Wait and see." "You don't know me." "No, but I can tell a nice girl when I see one." "Thanks." " Good-bye, sir." " Thank you." "I'm not coming all the way because I have to call in at the office." "Come on, love, out." "Come on, out you go, now." "I only wanted a lift." "Why do you have to make trouble?" " It's ridiculous!" " I just wanted a lift." "Come on." "Thank you." " Paul!" " Herbert." "I don't believe it." "Well, it has been a long time." "Oh, to me it seems like only 12 years." "Here, let me." "Oh, thank you." "Well, here's to Dr. Death." "No..." "Herbert, I shouldn't have come here." "Oh, dear." "I thought you'd say that." "I only came because I owe it to you." "You said you wouldn't do the show without me." "And that you needed the money." "But quite frankly, now that I'm here, I'm afraid." "You owe me nothing." "I couldn't explain everything on the telephone." "I don't need the money." "I made a very nice, new career for myself now as an actor." "But I had to get you here somehow." "I haven't been near Dr. Death for years." "Anything he does frightens me." "It brings everything back." "And so it should." "You've been living in the coffin of the past,  or the tombs of the past, if you like, for years." "Yes, you're right." "Everybody thinks I'm dead." "Including myself." "The only way to conquer your fear of the past is to face it,  even relive it if you have to." "Why, Paul, I made you come here to bring you back to life." "But you're not bringing me back to life,  you're bringing Dr. Death back to life." "And he terrifies me." "I'm terrified of what he's done." "I'm terrified of what he still may do." "Paul?" " Come and look at this." " What?" "How about that?" "Oh, my god." "We were younger than springtime." " They were the days." " Yes." "Something else to show you." "I've got every film we ever made." "Oh, Herbert, you haven't." "Yes, I have." "I run them all the time." "It helps with writing the new scripts,  and it'll help you to recapture the character." " No." " Oh, yes." "No, I haven't seen one since..." "Exactly." "I'll see who that is." "Hello?" "Herbert Flay speaking." "Yes, yes, he's here." "One moment, please." "It's for you." "Me?" "But nobody knows I'm here." "It's a girl." "Oh, yes..." "Yes, it might be that nice girl from the studio." "Who met me at the boat." "Julia, Paul..." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Paul Toombes here." "Hello..." "She hung up." "Actually, she didn't ask for Paul Toombes." "She asked for Dr. Death." "Come sit down, Paul,  and watch one of your old movies." " Do I have to?" " Yes, you do." "It's the only way." "It might give you a laugh, anyway." "There." "There is no pain." "No..." "Pain." "You are at peace mind and body at peace entirely." "Remember this?" "You were brilliant." "Basil..." "I had some real help on that one." "Mind and body in a state of peace." "You understand this?" "I..." "Understand." "Then sleep." "Sleep." "Sleep." "Your body losing all sensation." "Your mind enveloped in darkness." "Nothing can disturb you now as you drift ever deeper into darkness and sleep." "Sleep." "Sleep." "Do you hear me?" "It is my voice." "I hear." "Are you asleep?" "I sleep." "Herbert!" "Herbert?" "Paul?" "Paul, are you there?" "Paul?" "Paul?" "Paul?" "Paul?" "Paul?" "Paul..." "Come here." "Where are you?" "Come here."

"The one with..." "Spiders." "Yes..." "Faye." "Now you remember." "I was ambitious then." "I wanted you to help me with my career." "Yes, you all did." "Except poor Ellen." " Ellen?" " She was so pretty." "I don't want to talk about Ellen." "It changed all our lives, didn't it?" "How did it change yours, Faye?" "Herbert's career was ruined." "He needed me, so I married him." "Poor Herbert." "I should never have done it." "Well, I got paid back." "How are my babies?" "How are my pretty, furry little babies?" "Tell me about it, Faye." "Yes..." "Yes, I will tell you, Paul." "Herbert and I were unhappy." "I began to play around a lot." "You know, and I was pretty, wasn't I, Paul?" "Oh, yes." "I had my own car." "I'd just pick up anyone." "You know what I mean?" "I wasn't particular." "I used to laugh at stories girls being beaten up by guys just for the hell of it." "Well, the stories were true." "Only these guys got scared." "They set the car on fire and pushed it down the hill." "When I came out of it, I wasn't pretty anymore." "That was the last time you saw your daughter?" "Not our daughter." "Our foster daughter." "My sister's child..." "We took her as a baby." "It was our duty." "She did her duty, too." "Always very generous to us." "We've always been very generous to her." "The full list of passengers and crew, sir." "Excuse me." "Well, either he invited her into his cabin,  or you let her in." "Well, she could have walked in by herself." "If the door wasn't locked." "They're very careless in first class." "I mean, half of them don't even bother to turn up for fire drill." "I wouldn't have thought Paul Toombes was a careless man." "Successful people always pay great attention to detail." "Did you let her in?" "Look, I've only got ten days ashore..." "Did you let her in?" "!" "I've told you, that would be against regulations." "I understand she was quite a heavy tipper." "You can't prove it." "Look, I just brought the champagne and there they were." "...is still unusable." "It is said to be littered with the wreckage from the airplane blown up by the hijackers..." "Why didn't you tell me about Faye?" "I thought it might upset you." "You're right." "It did." "I had hoped you wouldn't meet." "She sleeps during the day and only gets up at night." "The police are anxious to trace anyone who can help them in their inquiries regarding the death of Elizabeth Peters,  a young actress who had recently returned from the United States." "The girl's body was found on the upper reaches of the Thames." "A raid on a house..." "Come in." "Well, how are you, old buddy?" "Say, you look pretty good." "All things considered." " How are you?" " Hello, Oliver." "How do you do, Mr. Quayle?" " You don't remember me, do you?" " No." "I was at your last big Hollywood party." "Yes, of course." "You were the man that Ellen worked for." "That's all in the past, Paul." "I don't make that cheap crap anymore." "I'm in television now." "Television..." "I thought that was a family medium." "You know, you always were a big joker." "Well, we got a lot of work to do now,  and you and I are gonna be buddies,  so come on, let's meet the rest of the gang, huh?" "Of all the producers in the world,  why did you have to choose him?" "You're wrong." "He chose us." "I'm sure you can deal with him, Mr. Toombes." "Herbert and I just lock him up with the accountant and get on with our real work." "Yes, of course, you're right." "That's what any good professional would do." " Good luck." " Thanks." "No!" "What the blazes are you doing, Bradshaw?" "Turn that thing off!" "Blasted racket." "Can't hear yourself think." "Sorry, sir." "I was looking at the legend of Dr. Death." "Never heard of it." "Oh, it's a very good film, sir." "Wait a minute, you're supposed to be working on the Peters murder." "Oh, I am, sir." "The Peters murder was done with a pitchfork,  exactly like the one in this film." "If Paul Toombes copied it, then he's a fool." "Oh, I don't think he copied it deliberately, sir." "I believe he's psychologically disturbed." "The character of Dr. Death has taken him over." "Actors don't get carried away like that." "It's happened before, sir." "Copies of his old hospital report." "Turn to the back page, sir." "At the top." ""The condition may recur under stress." ""Moreover, the simple fear of recurrence might be enough, ..." ""...in itself, to occasion a recurrence." "I see." "So what do you hope to learn from this old film?" "I've still got a couple of reels to go, sir." "Carry on, Bradshaw, but for god's sake, keep the volume down." "This is Scotland yard, you know,  not a blasted picture palace." "Yes, sir." "Thank you, sir." "Thank you, George." "Dr. Death to the "t"." " Mr. Toombes, good morning." " Morning." " I'm from The Daily News." " I'm sorry,  I never give interviews during work hours." "Perhaps a comment on the death of Elizabeth Peters?" "No comment." " Gerry?" " Yes, Paul." "Come here and take a look at the makeup,  see if you like it." "Mmm, yes." "I'm happy if you are." "Okay." "Thanks, George." "Let's get on the set." "Tell me what you want me to do." "Now, look, Paul, in this scene..." "How's it going with the press?" " It's not." " Hey." "Wait a minute." "I want you to meet your leading lady." "Carol Clayton." "Leading lady?" "Damn good actress." "Hello, darling." "What part are you playing, Miss Clayton?" "Your assistant, of course." "My assistant?" "Dr. Death never had an assistant." "Well, I figured we needed a little sex appeal in this series, so I did a little rewriting." "Well, come on, get a move on." "Time is money." "Let's have it quiet on the floor, please." "Come on, Nigel, get them ready for a take." "We're recording." "Quiet, everyone!" "Settle down!" "Okay, roll tape." "How long has she been dead?" "Almost an hour." "We must work fast before rigor mortis sets in." "Hand me the scalpel." "Sorry, doctor." "I said we must work fast before rigor mortis sets in." "I didn't say in who." "We're recording, Paul." "Just tell Miss What's-her-name to stop looking at the camera and to hand me the scalpel with some sense of urgency,  as time is marching on!" "All right, cut it." "We've cut." "First positions, please." "Paul, we don't need any of that star temperament here." "Besides, you're upsetting Miss Clayton." " Wrap it up." " Where are you going?" "We'll pick it up tomorrow morning." "You've got a contract with us!" "And I'll fulfill it as soon as Miss Clayton learns her business." "♪ Death is the name of the doctor you've met ♪" "♪ He'll do you in with no twinge of regret ♪" "♪ If you've a headache, don't ask him to call ♪" "♪ You'll likely end up... ♪" "I must write a part for you in that gear."

"In our day in Hollywood,  the monsters didn't need makeup." "They just came as themselves like Quayle." "You said this television series would make me a star." "He's already trying to get rid of me." "Look, honey, I told you,  I've gotta keep him in until the series gets going." "Then we kill him off and the assistant takes over." "Well, that's you, baby." "How long do you think this clambake will go on?" "Not much longer." "Julia, come and cheer Paul up." "I must mingle a little." " Hello, love." " Hello." "Anyone I can introduce you to?" "No, everybody's gone off me." "♪ ..." "Bakes pastries so crisp and so light ♪" "♪ Manna from heaven in every last bite ♪" "♪ His ladyfingers are... ♪" "Why are you ignoring me?" "You've done nothing but insult and humiliate me all day!" "And you haven't said a word about my performance." "Don't press your luck, baby." "Your dead fiancé E..." "Ellen..." "What sort of an actress was she?" "Will you shut up?" "!" "Listen to me, Mr. Toombes,  I'm playing the female lead in this series,  whether you like it or not so you're the one that better watch it, mate your drama school accent is slipping." "All right, everybody, let's quiet down." "Come on." "Can the conversation." "It'll keep." "I've got an announcement to make." "Now, you all know my friend Paul Toombes, our star." "I've arranged a sort of tribute to him." "I found some old film of his I thought you might like to see." "In case any of you are afraid of being bored,  I promise you it won't take long." "It's only a small tribute." "Anne." "Get her away from here." "Get her away from here." "Take her away." "Get her away from here." "Let me out!" "Let me through!" "I'm the police." "All right, now, miss." "Out you go." "You made a noise and frightened my babies." "Faye, I..." "Something happened at that party tonight." "Dr. Death..." "Killed somebody." "Oh, don't be silly, Paul." "Dr. Death can't kill anybody." "But tonight, all the women were screaming." "Why were all the women screaming?" "Because I made them scream." "No..." "But if I didn't, who did?" "Well, it couldn't have been Dr. Death." "But he was there, wasn't he?" "I know that he was." "Because when I opened my eyes,  I..." "Saw his glove." "You know that glove, Faye." "My glove." "Dr. Death is real!" "No..." "That's the prints done." "I'm certainly glad you've been assign ed to the case, sir." "Might get somewhere now." "Your writing's not very clear, Bradshaw." "I can't read half the names on this sheet." "Sorry, sir." "I'll get it typed, sir." "Dr. Death and the hangman, you said?" "Yes, sir." "In that film, the girl is murdered in exactly the same way." "I wish that man would stop crying." "Yes, sir." "I'll tell don't bother." "This glove could fit a hundred different guys." "You must be crazy." "You were standing right there when Paul Toombes insulted her." "He hated her because she was young, pretty, and ambitious." "Now, miss, do you know the present whereabouts of Mr. Toombes?" "Bradshaw!" "Paul, where are you off to?" "Herbert, I can't stay here." "I can't go on with the show,  not after all these tragedies." "Why, surely you don't think you're responsible for them?" "Do you?" "Of course not." "Well, I'm..." "I'm just not sure." "Good-bye and thank you." "Paul!" "Ah, good evening, Mr. Toombes." "Well, what do you want here?" "May I introduce Inspector Harper, Sir." "Well?" "We'd like you to accompany us to Scotland Yard and help us with our inquiries." "May I have a light?" "Light, Bradshaw." "Let's go." "Come on." " Perfect fit?" " Yes, of course." "Size nine." "Your turn." "Perfect fit." "Shake." "All right, Mr. Toombes, sit down, please." "Thank you." "Now, sir, you quarreled with Carol Clayton on the set and at the party." "You threw Elizabeth Peters out of your cabin and out of your car." "A lesser man would've strangled them." "I didn't." "My colleagues suggest you don't always know what you're doing, sir." "Dr. Death used a pitchfork." "He also hanged a girl with her own hair." "You don't think I'd be foolish enough to give myself away by using my old movies, do you?" "Are you sure, sir?" "I'm sorry to put this so bluntly, sir,  but you have a history of mental instability." "Gentlemen, I..." "I never wanted to play Dr. Death again..." "And I think I was right." "That's why I packed my bags tonight." "I remember the legend, I remember the hangman,  I remember all of those other Dr. Death stories." "The ones that haven't come true yet." "Is it me?" "I don't know." "Do you?" "No, sir, I don't." "You can't keep me here, you know." "Well, good night, gentlemen." " Our little girl had it." " The girl on the ship." " The girl you seduced." " The girl you done in." "Give me that watch!" "Give me that watch!" "Give it to me!" " You'll have to pay..." " ...£10,000." "Give it to me!" "Dirty old man." " Taking advantage..." " ...of innocent girls." " You'll have to pay..." " ...£10,000." " We brought her up." " Gave her the best." " Expensive schools." " Expensive training." " All invested." " To make her famous." " A wealthy daughter." " A grateful daughter." " A generous daughter..." " ...for our old age." " Now she's gone!" " You'll have to pay!" "£10,000!" "Police need the watch." " Proves you knew her." " Proves you had her." "Proves you killed her!" "Now, you get away from me, or I'll kill you!" "We can wait." "This is one of those scenes in which we cheat." "The canopy comes down on you and crushes you to death." "It, naturally, the audience doesn't realize but we stop the thing just in time,  and you roll out of the way." "It's control led by this." "Nigel works it." "Nigel?" "Where's Nigel?" "I'm sorry, I sent him out for some coffee." "Can I do it?" "Well, it's so simple, even Quayle could operate it." "Let's see... raise, lower." "Yes, I think I can manage." "Go on." "Why don't you just show me how, and I'll work it?" "Right." "Well, you've had too much to drink,  you climb into the bed..." "Gerry, excuse me a minute." " Paul." " Yes, love." "Can I tell Michael Parkinson you'll definitely be appearing on his show tonight?" "Michael Parkinson..." "Who's he?" "TV interviewer." "Well, we could sure use some good publicity." " Okay, I'll do it." " Right." "Check with me later." " It'll be in Studio B." " Thanks, Julia." "Let's get on with it." "Oh, yes." "Now, look, you've had too much wine to drink,  you climb into bed and you fall asleep." "A wind starts blowing,  the chandelier starts to swing,  and then, slowly, the canopy begins to move down." "P-press the button." "It's green to lower." "You lie here, sleeping like a baby." "While you sleep, clamps fix themselves to your arms so that you can't move." "Silently, the thing comes towards you." "Your eyes open as you realize the danger,  and at the very last minute,  you pull away the clamps and..." "Stop it!" "Paul, stop it!" " It won't work." " Stop it!" "The button!" "The red button!" " Press the button!" " It won't work!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Damn thing won't work!" "Help me, somebody!" "Oh, my god." "How were the coppers?" "They let him go." " They need some proof." " They need the watch." " Get away!" " Thought it over?" "£10,000." "To a man like you..." "Yes, the mechanism was fixed." "Just by chance he was lying on the bed." "This was meant to kill Paul Toombes." "Kill Paul?" "But who'd want to kill Paul?" "Don't look at me." "I may not like the guy, but he is my star." "Excuse me." "Nigel,  listen, you get that bed fixed up." "So we can start shooting tomorrow." "I've gotta get myself another director." "Looking for something?" "I thought I'd left my schedule in here." "You don't usually forget anything." "Look, the watch." "Now we're going to get the money." "Mr. Toombes?" "Let's go." " Yes?" " Paul?" "Julia." "Look, I think I know what's going on." "Meet me in your dressing room in half an hour, okay?" "Why not?" "After all, it is my house." "Paul?" "Paul, are you there?" "No, you're never there when I need you." "Come in, Julia." "Come in." "This way, Paul." "Down here, Paul." "My very special guest tonight is someone that I've always wanted to interview." "Someone once said of him that, in fact he invented the horror movie." "Before you meet him, I should tell you that..." "Well, in fact, he's here." "Ladies and gentlemen, would you welcome Paul Toombes?" "Please, sit down." "In fact, you are early." "Yes." "I like people who are eager to get on my show." "I was about to tell the audience, in fact that you are somebody I particularly wanted to meet." "But before we talk about that,  and to give you a chance to get your breath back,  let's remind ourselves of the old days at the very beginning of your career in Hollywood." "Let's have a look at one of the first films that you ever made." "If you'd look over there." "Nicholas!" "Oh, no!" "Paul?" "Maximillian!" "Maximilian, we must break into the torture chamber quickly!" "Help!" "Somebody come quickly, please!" "Help!" "For god's sake, help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help me!" "Paul, why do you think that your films have been so very successful?" "Well, I think it's because they're not about the ordinary, everyday world around us." "They're about a world that's deep inside of us,  a world of impulses and instincts that we have been taught to suppress." "That sounds a bit spooky impulses." "I mean, what sort of impulses?" "Well, the impulses that we don't dare admit,  impulses that sometimes we don't even know we have..." "Animal cruelty, brutal violence,  and blood lust." "They're tamed and caged." "Sometimes they prowl around inside of the cages that we've built for them,  and then there comes a time in between our sleeping and our waking when they whisper to us that they want to be set free,  but, well, we don't set them free." "I think maybe that's why the pictures are successful,  because they do set them free." "Let's have a look at one of your greatest movies." "There was no other way." "No other way." "Quick, Bradshaw!" "He's given us the slip!" "He arrived early and left early, too." "He did, in fact, I suppose, once play the invisible man,  but this is daft, isn't it?" "Julia." "No, Ellen, no!" "No!" "No, not again!" "Not again!" "No." "Leave it." "If that's him, we'll never get him now." "He's thrown the master lock." "It seals every door to the stage." "Not even a mouse could get in." "Or out." "Why did he take you again, Ellen?" "Was it because you were young?" "Because your eyes shone?" "And your lips smiled?" "Because you were life?" "It wasn't me tonight, Ellen." "No..." "Or all those years ago." "It was Dr. Death." "Dr. Death." "Who is Dr. Death?" "Well, I will tell you." "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." "Who is Dr. Death?" "Well, I will tell you." "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 which 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..." "That we roused and formed and clothed in black." "A phantom feeding on death,  creating death, exalting in death!" "Oh, why didn't he take me." "And let you live?" "Now he must die." "The Dr. 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, Dr. Death, are you afraid?" "No..." "No, you're going home." "Come!" "Lights!" "Camera!" "Action!" "Now I must play the final scene." "The death of Dr. Death." "And here's to the new Dr. Death." "I only hope I can do justice to the memory of the old." "Dear Paul reduced to ashes." "Well, we still have this." "The film of his final performance." "Now it's yours." "I shall treasure this." "Oh, I want more than that, Herbert." "I expect you to live up to it." "I'll do my best,  once I've got over the shock." "Dear Paul..." "Dear, dear Paul." "Lights!" "Camera!" "Action!" "I must play the final scene." "The death of Dr. Death." "But you're dead." "You're dead!" "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 loved Dr. Death." "Yes..." "Yes!" "And I should have played him." "Dr. Death is mine!" "I created the part for myself,  but the studio gave it to you!" "You weren't a better actor." "You were nothing until you played Dr. Death!" "He made you into a star!" "I killed Ellen hoping to get rid of you but the studio still wouldn't listen." "They said there was only one Dr. Death..." "Paul Toombes!" "It should have been me!" "Me!" "And after all these years,  I had a second chance, and I used it." "Quayle wanted to bring you back." "He needed me." "He needed me to persuade you!" "So I drew up a contract." "He never thought it would apply." "There is a clause in it that says if anything happens to you I take your place." "I play Dr. Death at last!" "I'm not going to be cheated this time." "He belongs to me!" "I am Dr. Death!" "They like him now." "The babies wouldn't go near him when he was alive." "Aren't you good boys and girls?" "You've ate up every bit of him." "Full of nourishment." "Darling..." "Don't take too much time." "Supper's nearly ready."
