The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996 film) Quotes

David Thewlis as Edward Douglas

• (David Thewlis) "This is a true record of what I saw. I set it down only leaving out the longitude and latitude of the island, as a warning to all who would follow in Moreau's footsteps. Most times, I keep the memory far in the back of my mind, a distant cloud. But there are times when the little cloud spreads, until it obscures the sky. And those times I look around at my fellow men and I am reminded of some likeness of the beast-people, and I feel as though the animal is surging up in them. And I know they are neither wholly animal nor wholly man, but an unstable combination of both. As unstable as anything Moreau created. And I go -- in fear."

• (David Thewlis) "Are you a doctor?"
• (Val Kilmer) "Well, I'm more of a vet."

• (Marlon Brando) "I've seen the Devil, in my microscope and I have chained him, and I suppose you could say in a sense metaphorically speaking, I have cut him to pieces. The Devil, Mr.Douglas, I've found is nothing more than a tiresome collection of genes, and it is with great assurance that I can tell you, that Lucifer, Son of Morning is no more."

• (Marlon Brando) "I have seen the devil in my microscope, and I have chained him."

• (Marlon Brando) "I have almost achieved perfection you see, of a divine creature that is pure, harmonious, absolutely incapable of any malice. And if in my tinkering I have fallen short of the human form by the snout, claw or hoof, it really is of no great importance. I am closer that you could possibly imagine sir."

• (Marlon Brando) "Do you hear Lo-Mai? -- Do you hear?"

• (David Thewlis) "You see, there must be a God Number One."

Val Kilmer as Montgomery

• (Val Kilmer) "Well, things didn't work out. Moreau wanted to turn animals into humans and humans into gods. But it's instinct and reason, instinct and reason. What's reason to a dog?"
