Which character in "The Black Cat (1934)" said...

So you think you are a fan of "The Black Cat (1934)." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. You must be indulgent with Dr. Werdegast's weakness. He is the unfortunate victim of one of the commoner phobias, but in an extreme form. He has an intense and all-consuming horror of cats.

  2. [to Peter, about Poelzig's house] It is indeed hard to describe. It's hard to describe his life â€" or death. It may well be an atmosphere of death. This place was built upon the ruins of the same Ft. Marmorus that our unfortunate friend, the driver, described so vividly. Herr Poelzig commanded Marmorus during the last years of the war. He is perhaps sentimental about this spot.

  3. It has been a long time Hjalmar. The years have been kind to you.

  4. [to Thamal] We must bide our time until others aren't involved. This place is so undermined with dynamite that the slightest mistake by one of us would cause the destruction of all. Until I tell you different, you are his servant, not mine.

  5. After all, better to be frightened than to be crushed.

  6. [to Poelzig] Do you know what I am going to do to you now? No? Did you ever see an animal skinned, Hjalmar? Ha, ha, ha. That's what I'm going to do to you now â€" flay the skin from your body...slowly...bit by bit!

  7. [to Poelzig] You sold Marmorus to the Russians. You scurried away in the night and left us to die. Is it to be wondered that you should choose this place to build your house? A masterpiece of construction built upon the ruins of the masterpiece of destruction â€" a masterpiece of murder. [laughs hideously] The murderer of 10,000 men returns to the place of his crime. Those who died were fortunate. I was taken prisoner at Kurgaal. Kurgaal, where the soul is killed, slowly. Fifteen years I've rotted in the darkness. But not to kill you, but to kill your soul â€" slowly. Where is my wife, Karen, and my daughter?

  8. Supernatural, perhaps... Baloney, perhaps not. There are many things under the sun.

  9. [to Karen] Oh, it's nothing. Only an accident in the road below. I want you to stay in this room all day tomorrow Karen. You are the very core and meaning of my life. No one shall take you from me. Not even Vitus, not even your father.

  10. In Triple Murder, Mr. Alison's latest mystery thriller, he fulfills the promise shown...We feel, however, that Mr. Alison has, in a sense, overstepped the bounds of the matter of credibility. These things would never, but with a further stretch of the imagination, actually happen. We could wish that Mr. Alison would confine himself to the possible instead of letting his melodramatic imagination run away with him.

  11. [to Poelzig] How does it feel to hang on your own embalming rack, Hjalmar?

  12. It has been a good game.
