- Would-be Vampire: [a group of would-be vampires approach Houdini and Doyle in the cemetary] You're trespassing in our home.
- Harry Houdini: No, your home is in the basement of your mother's house, where you spend 20 hours a day reading fantasy books. This is where you come to act them out.
- Harry Houdini: I broke out of this same exact cell two years ago.
- 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.
- Arthur Conan Doyle: Bram is incapable of such a crime. Yes, he's socially awkward but he is a loyal friend who provided a great deal of encouragement when I decided to stop practicing medicine and write full-time.
- 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: As much as it pains me to agree with Doyle, I do too.

- 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.
