Quotes 

• [Ethan Chandler and Victor Frankenstein get in an argument while talking about dead bodies in the newspapers] 

  Ethan Chandler : [to Victor Frankenstein and Sir Malcolm]  Holy Christ, you're both morbid fucks.

  Dr. Victor Frankenstein : My, my. That temper of yours.

  Ethan Chandler : Well, we're not all bloodless dandies.

  Dr. Victor Frankenstein : Is that what I am?

  Ethan Chandler : I don't know what you are.

  Dr. Victor Frankenstein : You could not understand it, believe me.

  Ethan Chandler : My, my. What arrogance.

• [Ethan Chandler and Brona Croft arrive to the theater for 'The Transformed Beast' showing] 

  Brona Croft : [Brona in her Irish accent]  Oh, Ethan, I've wanted to come here forever. Monstrous little horrors they enact.

  Ethan Chandler : Say it like that and you can get me to do anything.

  Brona Croft : What?

  Ethan Chandler : [Mr. Chandler chuckles]  'Eatin.'

• [Brona Croft tells Ethan Chandler that she was engaged before] 

  Brona Croft : I was engaged once, back in Belfast. Riveter in the shipyard he was. Brutal man with brutal hands. When he fucked me, he would put one of those big hands over my face and turn it away, so he wouldn't have to look into my eyes. There I was, engaged to him.

  Ethan Chandler : Why?

  Brona Croft : There was no money. It's what you did. You married or you whored. One night, he was fucking me, and he got really tough and there was blood. I went to my mother. She said to go back and marry him. Same day I walked down Leopold Street off the Shankill Road and fucked a stranger for money.

  Ethan Chandler : [Mr. Chandler turns Brona's face to his]  We've all done things to survive. There are such sins at my back it would kill me to turn around.

• [Dorian Gray invites Ethan Chandler to go someplace with him] 

  Ethan Chandler : You ever wish you could be someone else? Just run away from your life?

  Dorian Gray : All the time. You want to be someone else? Comes with me.

  Ethan Chandler : Does it involve a drink?

  Dorian Gray : Many.

  Ethan Chandler : What about Miss Ives?

  Dorian Gray : She doesn't want to be anyone else.

• [Dorian Gray tells Ethan Chandler he doesn't believe to be repetitious] 

  Dorian Gray : Once you get used to something, why bother? It's just repetition.

  Ethan Chandler : [as Mr. Chandler notices Dorian's many colognes]  You like your cologne. How do you choose?

  Dorian Gray : Depends on how I feel. Or how I want to feel, I suppose. Different aromas make you feel differently, don't they? Citrus and sandalwood produce one thing. Musk and lavender another. Jasmine, mint. Each produces a different sensation. A different view.

  Ethan Chandler : Good for you.

• [Dorian Gray tells Ethan Chandler that he plays his part well] 

  Dorian Gray : You play your part to perfection, Mr. Chandler.

  Ethan Chandler : What part's that?

  Dorian Gray : Rude, mechanical. Rugged Westerner. But I suppose we all play parts.

  Ethan Chandler : What's yours?

  Dorian Gray : Human.
