The Mummy (1932 film)

"Anck-es-en-Amon, my love has lasted longer than the temples of our gods. No man ever suffered as I did for you. But the rest you may not know. Not until you are about to pass through the great night of terror and triumph. Until you are ready to face moments of horror for an eternity of love."

"[to Helen Grosvenor dressed as his beloved Princess Anck-es-en-Amon] It was not only this body I loved, it was thy soul. I destroy this lifeless thing! Thou shall take its place but for a few moments and then... RISE again, even as I have risen!"

"You will not remember what I show you now, and yet I shall awaken memories of love... and crime... and death..."

"I loved you once, but now you belong with the dead. I am Anck-es-en-Amon, but I... I'm somebody else, too. I want to live, even in this strange new world."

"Burn the scroll, man. Burn it! It was through you this horror came into existence."

"If I could get my hands on you, I'd break your dried flesh to pieces!"

"I think with all the technology today, kids wouldn't buy [a mummy wrapped in bandages]. That's sort of one of the things about the first Mummy movies that always amazed me. Looking back on them now, why were people scared of the mummy? Surely, you could just run away from this guy that's walking around the neighborhood in pajamas and bandages. It'd be easy just to run away from him, so we have to hype it up a bit and create a whole new mummy."
