- Maleva: The way you walked was thorny though no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end. Now you will have peace for eternity.
- Col. Paul Montford, chief constable: The wolf must have attacked her and Larry came to the rescue. I'm sorry, Sir John.
- Gwen Conliffe: [Dismayed] Larry!

- Sir John Talbot: Frightened, of what?

- Maleva: You killed the wolf.
- Larry Talbot: Well, there's no crime in that is there?
- Maleva: The wolf was Bela.
- Larry Talbot: You think I don't know the difference between a wolf and a man?

- Maleva: ...or a stick with a silver handle.

- Sir John Talbot: You've been preying upon his gullibility with your witch's tales.
- Maleva: But you fixed him, didn't you, Sir John? You don't believe the witch's tales, do you?

- Maleva: Then where were you going, Sir John? Why aren't you back there, at the shooting stand?
- Sir John Talbot: I was.
- Maleva: Were you hurrying back to the castle? Did you have a moment's doubt? Were you hurrying to make sure he's all right?
- Sir John Talbot: I wanted to be with my son. I was going back...
- [a rifle fires in the distance]
- Maleva: Yes, Sir John, you were going. Hurry, Sir John, hurry.

- Rev. Norman: But my dear Maleva, we can't bury this man without prayer.
- Maleva: There is nothing to pray for, sir. Bela has entered a much better world than this. At least, so your ministers always say, sir.
