Christopher Lee Quotes:
Maria: [Politely] It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Allen.
Paul Allen: You have a new admirer, my dear, Mr. Edward Hyde.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Obviously attracted to her] Enchanted! My sincere compliments.
Maria: You are most kind, Mr. Hyde.
Paul Allen: That's natural manners. She only uses Christian names in bed.
[Insulted, Maria throws a drink from the table in his face]
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Thunderstruck by the sensual beauty of the scantily clad exotic dancer] A tigress!
Paul Allen: [Detached] Tigers needn't lick their lips over her unless they're very rich.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Is she so exclusive?
Paul Allen: Only princes, pashes, millionaires, or distinguished actor/managers need apply.
[Aware of Hyde's fascination with the dancer as she continues her routine which climaxes with her putting the snake's head in her mouth]
Paul Allen: Forget it, John boy. She's not in the prep school class. Believe me, I've tried.
Ayesha: You tremble, Billali?
Billali: The man who fears your wrath and does not tremble, is a fool, your queen. The man who does not fear your wrath and yet does not tremble in your presence, is not a man.
