- Inspector Trout: I'm a bit apprehensive about finding the others, sir. Do you think you know where we are?
- Sir Wayne Waverley: Trout, I don't think; I know.
- Inspector Trout: I don't think you know either, sir.
- Sir Wayne Waverley: Come along, Trout, strike camp.
- Inspector Trout: Yeah, we ought to get these tents down, too, sir, and be on our way. And what about Baker? Should we dispose of his body?
- Sir Wayne Waverley: I don't know about his body, but I think we should give his head a decent burial.
- Diana: Don't worry, darling, it's not the end of the world.
- [Beiderbeck rapidly begins to age and die]
- Darius Biederbeck: I gave specific orders that no expeditions were to occur without my leadership.
- Baker: Is this your mountain, sir?
- Darius Biederbeck: I regard it as such.
- Baker: Are we to take that literally, sir?
- Darius Biederbeck: You can take it any way you see fit.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: I, too, have searched, Beiderbeck, but not for myself. For my Victoria. I offer you the same goal, the life of your beloved. But hurry. When the bough breaks, my friend...
- Darius Biederbeck: It could be a trick. Why should I trust you of all people?
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Not me. The ancient artisans who built these chambers. When the gates are unlocked, the water from Diana's pool will drain out and she will be free. Save her! Don't be a fool. Soon, it will be too late.
- Darius Biederbeck: For whom?
- Dr. Anton Phibes: For us all, especially Diana. Every second brings her closer to a terrible death. Can you pay that price, Beiderbeck? The key!
- Darius Biederbeck: The devil take you, Phibes.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: The devil take me? Not for some considerable time, I trust.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: I call on you once more, Vulnavia. Come, my trusted aide.
- [Vulnavia appears]
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Thank you, my dear, for answering my call. Upstairs, in my safe, is a most precious map of papyrus. The way to a Pharaoh's tomb! Beneath which flows, each 2,000 years, the River of Life. We must make haste and find the river at its flood.
- Darius Biederbeck: You're in the desert, my dear. You're not taking tea in Mayfair.
- Diana: I am aware of that. I've drunk plenty of tea in Mayfair without finding dead bodies at my feet.
- Inspector Trout: We're looking for a madman, sir.
- Lombardo, Shipping Agent: Well, you've bloody well found one! Do you realize this is Saturday afternoon?
- Inspector Trout: We could search the mountain...
- Sir Wayne Waverley: Trout, one needs a warrant to search. You should know that by now.
- Inspector Trout: I am aware, sir, but...
- Sir Wayne Waverley: We can't just storm into someone else's mountain. This isn't Hyde Park, you know.
- Inspector Trout: But no one's ever gotten the better of Phibes, sir. To our uncertain knowledge, he's already killed 15 men. You can't hope to win!
- Dr. Anton Phibes: I am protecting you, Victoria, from those who would discover us. I shall eliminate them all, one by one, my love. Yes, even Beiderbeck himself, if need be.
- [last lines]
- Dr. Anton Phibes: [singing] Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly / Birds fly over the rainbow, why, oh, why can't I?
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Sleep on, my sweet Victoria, for regal claws of noble birds guard well your place of rest. For those poor fools that dare intrude, the penalty is death.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: It is a pity, in a way. We have so much in common.
- Darius Biederbeck: You flatter yourself.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: I think not. For years I have had one terrible obsession - to find the River of Life once used by the Pharaohs of Egypt. It lies beyond those gates, a river that gives new life, again and again and again.
- Darius Biederbeck: Why do you think I came here?
- Dr. Anton Phibes: You have all the life you need.
- Darius Biederbeck: No more, Phibes. The elixir that gave my life for a hundred years is gone. It has suspended time and age, but no more.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: How long? How many years?
- Darius Biederbeck: Too long to remember. Too long to throw it all away now!
- Narrator: The incredible legends of the abominable Dr. Phibes began a few short years ago, all of them unfortunately true!
- Sir Wayne Waverley: Maybe he won't come back.
- Inspector Trout: Oh, it's Phibes, all right, sir... and he always comes back.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Those devils! To take from me the two treasures of my life! I shall get them back; he who tries to stop me will die!
- Darius Biederbeck: Phibes!
- Dr. Anton Phibes: So, at last we meet, Beiderbeck.
- Darius Biederbeck: Where's Diana?
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Waiting, as we all must wait.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Oh, what happy times of years ago I think of, Victoria. It won't be long now. Soon you will be moving, breathing. Thy in my arms again and I in yours.
- Inspector Trout: We found a body.
- Lombardo, Shipping Agent: Well, I didn't know you mislaid one. Whose?
- Sir Wayne Waverley: Ambrose's.
- Lombardo, Shipping Agent: Ah, him.
- Inspector Trout: Did you know him, sir?
- Lombardo, Shipping Agent: Not intimately. But he was always going on trips. He was an archeologist, digging around in the dirt, like you chaps.
- Inspector Trout: We have reason to believe he was murdered.
- Lombardo, Shipping Agent: Murdered?
- Sir Wayne Waverley: Killed.
- Lombardo, Shipping Agent: I understand what it means. But by who?
- Darius Biederbeck: So, that's it. The key.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: My key.
- Darius Biederbeck: No. For years I've searched. The Temple of Abiskis, the River of Life. It's mine, Phibes.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Then your beloved will die. For only the key will save her now.
- Darius Biederbeck: You lie. The key controls the gates, nothing more.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: The key controls the gates and much more: the life of your Diana. And you have only three minutes to use it. Now, save your Diana.
- Darius Biederbeck: Every move I make, everything, concerns our future together.
- Diana: Well, if it's anything like now it's going to be bloody awful.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Victoria, for three years I have rested by your side. Now the Moon has risen to the exact position which last occurred 2,000 years ago, signaling the opening of this crypt, and the beginning of our greatest adventure. We shall embark to the land of Egypt, where years ago I did prepare for us a wondrous shrine. I shall search for the River of Life, which holds the key to resurrection for you and eternal life for both of us.
- Inspector Trout: Phibes must have used that storm last night as cover.
- Sir Wayne Waverley: Used it? He probably summoned it!
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Here where mystic lines converge, we shall find the doorway which seperates the living from the dead!
- Dr. Anton Phibes: No! While I slept in sweet oblivion, who dared destroy my house? The safe. Could it still be here?
- [he checks it and finds it is empty]
- Dr. Anton Phibes: What fiend has taken it? Only one who seeks eternal life as I do... Beiderbeck!
- Inspector Trout: But you haven't got a chance!
- Sir Wayne Waverley: He'll chop you down like the rest of them!
- Darius Biederbeck: I'm not like the rest of them! Phibes may put the fear of God in you, but not me. Now stay out of my way!
- Dr. Anton Phibes: [to his pet hawk who is feeding off Shavers' corpse] Did you have a good dinner?
- [the hawk screeches in reply]
- Sir Wayne Waverley: And just why was the principal witness allowed to leave the country?
- Inspector Trout: It was a peculiar matter and we were dealing with a very difficult gentleman.
- Sir Wayne Waverley: Well, I've got news for you, Trout. You're dealing with an even more difficult one right now!
- Dr. Anton Phibes: [quoting Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night"] If music be the food of love, play on!
- Dr. Anton Phibes: So, once more I have been forced to kill for you, Victoria. Only that you may live again, my noble wife.
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Observe, my sweet Victoria. The waters are receding, as the final revelation is before us. The gates to eternity.
- [he looks up]
- Dr. Anton Phibes: Go, Vulnavia, and let our victim know the full measure of our wrath!
