• Gwendolen Chelm : Harry, we must beware of these men. They are desperate characters.

  Harry Chelm : What makes you say that ?

  Gwendolen Chelm : Not one of them looked at my legs!

• Billy Dannreuther : I've got to have money. Doctor's orders are that I must have a lot of money, otherwise I become dull, listless and have trouble with my complexion.

  Gwendolen Chelm : But you're not like that now, and you haven't any money.

  Billy Dannreuther : It's my expectations that hold me together.

• Gwendolen Chelm : I am a British subject!

  Billy Dannreuther : I wouldn't say that too loud.

• Gwendolen Chelm : You know, I've changed my mind about you being an evil doctor. You're off to keep a rendezvous someplace in Africa sacred to the tribesmen. You're going to found a new empire, and make yourself master of the riches of the world. But you need a beautiful blonde queen to impress the natives as, ah, the incarnation of the Queen of Sheba. That's why you're making a pass at me.

  Billy Dannreuther : Am I?

• Gwendolen Chelm : I have a theory about you and your friends.

  Billy Dannreuther : Correction - my associates.

  Gwendolen Chelm : As a matter of fact, I think you're doctors. Evil ones, I mean. You're going to the heart of the jungle where human life is cheap, to perform ghastly experiments which require the sacrifice of thousands on the altar of science.

• Gwendolen Chelm : Oh I'm terribly sorry he's usually a much better loser.
