  Arthur Conan Doyle : How did you do it ?

  Harry Houdini : Flawlessly.

• Adelaide Stratton : I'm not ruling out anyone as a suspect, including Mr. Stoker.

  Harry Houdini : That's great. Good luck with that.

• Adelaide Stratton : So you believe his story ?

  Arthur Conan Doyle : Of course I do.

  Harry Houdini : Unlike being called to a cemetery to look for vampires ?

• Arthur Conan Doyle : According to Darwin, species continually adapt to higher forms in order to survive. The ultimate form of which is immortality.

  Adelaide Stratton : Nothing lives forever.

  Harry Houdini : Exactly. The only path to immortality is fame. People will be talking about me for hundreds of years. And you ?

  [looks at Doyle] 

  Harry Houdini : For at least a dozen.
