The Invisible Man Quotes
A scientist finds a way of becoming invisible, but in doing so, he becomes murderously insane.
The Invisible Man: I hope your car's ensured, Kemp. I'm afraid there's going to be a nasty accident in a minute. A very nasty accident!
Dr. Kemp: Griffin, I'll do anything! Everything you ask me!
The Invisible Man: You will? That's fine. Just sit where you are. I'll get out and take the handbrake off and give you a little shove to help you on. You'll run gently down and through the railings, then you'll have a big thrill for a hundred yards or so till you hit a boulder, then you'll do a somersault and probably break your arms, then a grand finish up with a broken neck! Well, goodbye, Kemp. I always said you were a dirty little coward. You're a dirty sneaking little rat as well. Goodbye.

The Invisible Man: Power, I said! Power to walk into the gold vaults of the nations, into the secrets of kings, into the Holy of Holies; power to make multitudes run squealing in terror at the touch of my little invisible finger. Even the moon's frightened of me, frightened to death! The whole world's frightened to death!
[seeing police dogs and policemen encroaching upon the house]
The Invisible Man: So, I see. Kemp couldn't sleep. He had to go downstairs. He was frightened. I put my trust in Kemp. I told him my secret and he gave me his word of honor. You must go now, Flora.
Flora Cranley: I want to help you.
The Invisible Man: There is nothing left for you to do, my dear, except to go. I shall come back. I swear, I shall come back because I shall defeat them. Go now my dear.
Flora Cranley: No, I want to stay. You must hide.
The Invisible Man: Don't worry, the whole world's my hiding place. I can stand there amongst them in the day and night and laugh at them.

The Invisible Man: I give you a last chance to leave me alone.
Const. Jaffers: Give ME a last chance? You've commited assualt, that's what you've done, and you can come along to the station with me. Come along now. Come quietly, unless you want me to put the handcuffs on.
The Invisible Man: Stop where you are. You don't know what you're doing.
Const. Jaffers: I know what I'm doing, all right. Come on
Man in Pub: Get hold of him!
Man in Pub # 2: Lock him up!
The Invisible Man: All right, you fools. You've brought it on yourselves! Everything would have come right if you'd only left me alone. You've driven me near madness with your peering through the keyholes and gaping through the curtains, and now you'll suffer for it! You're crazy to know who I am, aren't you? All right! I'll show you!
[the Invisible Man removes his rubber nose and goggles and throws them at his spectators]
The Invisible Man: There's a souvenior for you, and one for you. I'll show you who I am - and WHAT I am!
[the Invisible Man, laughing maniacally, removes his bandages and fake hair]
Const. Jaffers: Look! He's all eaten away!
The Invisible Man: Eh? How do you like that, ay?

Dr. Cranley: Monocane is a terrible drug.
Dr. Kemp: I never heard of it.
Dr. Cranley: You wouldn't, Kemp. It's never used now. I didn't know it was even made. It's a drug that's made from a flower that's grown in India. It draws color from everything it touches. Years ago they tried it for bleaching cloth. They gave it up because it destroyed the material.
Dr. Kemp: That doesn't sound very terrible.
Dr. Cranley: Yes, I know, but it does something else, Kemp. It was tried out on some poor animal - a dog, I believe. It was injected under the skin, and it turned the dog dead white, like a marble statue.
Dr. Kemp: Is that so?
Dr. Cranley: Yes, and it also sent it raving mad.
Dr. Kemp: You surely don't think...
Dr. Cranley: I only pray to God that Griffin hasn't been meddling with this ghastly stuff.
Dr. Kemp: He'd never touch a thing with madness in it.
Dr. Cranley: He might not know. I found that experiment in an old German book, just by chance. The English books only describe the bleaching power. They were printed BEFORE the German experiment.
