Quotes 

• Ruth Thomas : [hearing chanting]  What's that?

  Dr. Moreau : The natives, they have a curious ceremony. Mr. Parker has witnessed it.

  Ruth Thomas : Tell us about it, Edward.

  Edward Parker : Oh, it's... it's nothing.

  Dr. Moreau : They are restless tonight.

• Edward Parker : Those poor things out there in the jungle. Those animals. They - They talk.

  Dr. Moreau : That was my first great achievement. Articulate speech controlled by the brain. And it was a great achievement! Oh, it takes a long time and infinite patience to make them talk.

  [Moreau gives an impish smile and a chuckle] 

  Dr. Moreau : Someday I will create a woman and it'll be easier.

• Dr. Moreau : You understand, Mr. Parker, you are an uninvited guest.

  Edward Parker : Certainly.

  Dr. Moreau : You may perhaps find our domain rather strange. I shall have to rely on your caution while you are here and your silence when you're gone. You understand that?

  Edward Parker : Of course, doctor.

• Mr. Montgomery : What's the message?

  Edward Parker : That I was picked up by this boat and when we expect to arrive. Also, that I'm alright... thanks to you, doctor. You are a doctor, aren't you?

  Mr. Montgomery : Yes. At least I was. Once upon a time.
