A line from Mr. Dark [to Charles Holloway]

Your torments call us like dogs in the night. And we do feed, and feed well. To stuff ourselves on other people's torments. And butter our plain bread with delicious pain... "Funerals, marriages, lost loves, lonely beds" that is our diet. We suck that misery and find it sweet. We can smell the young ulcerating to be men a thousand miles off. And hear a middle-aged fool like yourself groaning with midnight despairs from halfway round the world.

Then rang the bells both loud and deep. God is not dead nor doth he sleep.

Mr. Dark
[Clenching his fists until his hands bleed]

I do want to know the truth, sir. The truth is, you are lying!

I, uh, have the honor, sir.

Mr. Dark

And have had for many years, I do believe. All that time spent living only through other men's lives. Dreaming only other men's dreams. What a waste.

Sometimes a man can learn more from other men's dreams than he can from his own. Come visit me, sir, if you wish to improve your education.

Mr. Dark

I will, and I may improve yours.
