• Andre : One more question, Baron: has anyone else except yourself seen the spirit? Stefan, for instance.

  Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe : [smiling]  You think I'm mad, don't you.

  Andre : Right now, Baron, I'm not sure just what I think.

  Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe : Ah! But don't forget: *you* saw her, too. Perhaps we're both mad.

• Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe : What you see, Lieutenant, are the remains of a noble house. Relics. Ghosts of past glory.

• Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe : Your pardon, young sir. I was at my devotions. I did not hear you.

  Andre : I'm sorry, sir. But, surely, I made enough noise to awaken the dead.

• Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe : Cognac, for our guest.

• Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe : Twenty years ago I was not the man you're looking at now. This land, this estate prospered. My people lived well and were happy. My wife had died some years before and I was lonely. Then, one day in the village, I saw Ilsa, a peasant girl who'd come to live there with her mother. Oh, I could have taken her! Nobles have taken the daughters of peasants since the beginning of time. But, I loved her - and she became the Baroness Von Leppe.

• Stefan : How do you know what harm he plans? Do you want him wandering around the castle? Do you want him down in the crypt?

  Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe : Enough. The crypt is no concern of yours.

• Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe : Take this gun. Escort this gentleman from the castle. If he resists - kill him.
