"[sprays] Bluebeard was here."

"I looked in the house Joker lives in, and it's a mess. But still, I went through it bottom to the top, but I found no sign of him."

"I'm trying in my feeble way to use the computer to get on the track of the murderer you're out to find."

"[narrating] The musty stench hit me like a sledgehammer. I realized immediately that this revolting smell was not coming up the stairs from the cellar, but was in fact creeping down the stairs from the second floor. It was a mixture of drugstore, vet's office and toxic waste dump. And I should've known better than to set paw in the place."

"Bluebeard, don't kid yourself. An ice pick didn't do this; this was done by teeth. In order to crack this case, I've gotta meet as many of our brothers as I can in this godforsaken neighborhood. And you are the very brother to help me, Bluebeard!"

"Either Joker left here in a hurry or his stomach can't take cream anymore."

"Why did you run off? The brothers just wanted to talk."

"No, no! There aren't any good men! They're all bad! They're all the same! Animals are good creatures. But men are evil animals."

"Mario Adorf as Bluebeard."

"Haven't you got it yet? He wants his motives to be known and understood. He's as complicated as a crossword puzzle. No. The killer is the puzzle and he wants us to... to solve it."

"Uwe Ochsenknecht as Archie."

"Tomorrow, I'm gonna take you to meet someone. He's a real clever b*stard. You aren't the only smartass in town, you know?"

"It isn't seven murders we have to deal with, it's hundreds! These murders started many, many years ago. It may go right back to the closing of a certain laboratory."

"[first lines; narrating] Greetings, and salutations, friends. Sit back in your seat, look hard, and listen. Because I got a story to tell, and it's not gonna be pretty. Oh, the name's Francis. You can see what species I belong to, but don't take me too lightly."
