• [Inspector Rusk talks to Ethan Chandler about the murders at the Mariner's Inn when viewing at the Putney Wax display] 

  Bartholomew Rusk : When I was in the Transvaal... I saw lions feed. It was much like the Mariner's Inn. They were always tearing pieces off and stealing away.

  Ethan Chandler : With a purpose... to eat.

  Bartholomew Rusk : Not always. Sometimes a shock would run through the animals, like a tremor, for no reason at all. A kind of bloodlust. I often wondered if they remembered it afterwards... this frenzy. What do you think?

• [Warren Roper talks to Ethan Chandler about getting him back to America] 

  Warren Roper : Before I became a fine Pinkerton man you see before you, I was a Texas ranger. We was after some Mexicans, rustlers they were. We spent months on the trail. Finally, we captured them. End of the day we were so fucking sick of hunting them that we couldn't face dragging them back to Abilene, so we shot them down, took their scalps. Which fulfilled the warrant, you see. It was proof of apprehension, as the lawyers say.

  Ethan Chandler : I'm not going back to America.

  Warren Roper : Oh, you are. Or maybe I'll sell you to a freak show. That's quite a trick you have. Never seen the like, and I've seen most everything.

• [Inspector Rusk tells Ethan Chandler what he did after losing his arm while at the Putney Wax Works] 

  Bartholomew Rusk : When they cut off my arm, I was anesthetized. When I woke... I went and found it in a pile of discarded limbs, not unlike this tableaux.

  Ethan Chandler : What did you do with it?

  Bartholomew Rusk : Oh, I tossed it back. I just needed to finish the story in my own way. Write 'finis' in bold letters... and move on.
