4th most-quoted character in The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996): in 5 of its 22 quotes
Most scenes with: Edward Douglas (2), Hyena-Swine (2)
It is a hard way, the way of being a man. Sooner or later we all want a thing that is bad. To walk on all fours. To suck up drink from a stream. To jabber, instead of saying the words. To go snuffling at the earth, and to claw on the bark of trees. To eat flesh, or fish. To make love to more than one, every which way. These are all bad things. These are not the things that men do. But we are men, are we not? We are men because the Father has made us men!
Sayer of the Law No. No more scientists, no more laboratories, no more experiments. I thought you would be able to understand that. We have to be what we are, not what the Father tried to make us. To go on two legs... is very hard. Perhaps four is better, anyway.
Are you a doctor?
Well, I'm more of a vet.
Five-man... please... tell them... that I am God. Hmm?
You're right. You are... a god.
Sayer of the Law No!
Again.
You are a god. You're all gods.
Tell them to obey me like they did the Father.
You all killed the Father. You all ate his flesh. So who is the new Father? Who is God Number One? Who should they obey? Him? Or him? [indicating other members of Hyena-Swine's pack] You see, there must be a God Number One.
[the Hyena-Swine roars in Douglas's face, then rears up and opens fire on his pack members]
Tell them... that I am the Law.
Sayer of the Law Do not believe him! He is not the Law!
