Quotes 

• Doctor Leon : [after Nicholas has fallen down the stairs and appears to have died]  I told you to wait.

  Elizabeth : I couldn't.

  [she and Dr. Leon kiss] 

  Elizabeth : What about my brother?

  Doctor Leon : He's supposed to leave in the morning , but now... why couldn't you wait one more day?

  Elizabeth : I've waited too long already.

  Elizabeth : [goes down to where Nicholas is laying]  And now, my dear Nicholas, I have you exactly as I want you - helpless.

  Doctor Leon : Elizabeth, there is no time for this.

  Elizabeth : I've waited an eternity for this moment. There has to be time. Is it not ironical, my dear husband, your wife an adultress, your mother an adultress, your uncle an adulterer, your closest friend an adulterer - do you not find that amusing, dear Nicholas?

  Doctor Leon : Elizabeth.

• Doctor Leon : This groundless dread must finally be put to rest. We will exhume Elizabeth.

• Doctor Leon : Buying and selling. Living and dying. The weave of life.

• Doctor Leon : Elizabeth was quite dead. I would stick my reputation on that fact.

• Doctor Leon : She does not haunt you, Nicholas. Can you not see that? It is you punishing yourself.

• Doctor Leon : I beg of you leave with me.

  Don Nicholas Medina : I can never leave. I must accept whatever vengeance Elizabeth chooses to inflict upon me.
