Quotes

Sidney Brand: I've often wondered how you change from one person into another.
Capt. Mephisto: No doubt you have. I'll tell you this much. The appearance of human beings' stature, complexion and pigmentation is controlled by the molecular arrangement of the blood corpuscles. I have found a means of altering that arrangment.
Sidney Brand: I understand.
Capt. Mephisto: If I thought you really did, I'd *kill* you!
