Quotes 

• O'Neil : You cannot escape the field, Whitehead!

  Whitehead : Then I shall become it! I shall consume all the ill fortune which you are set to unleash. I shall chew up all the selfish scheming and ill intentions that men like you force upon men like me, and bury it in the stomach of this place!

• Whitehead : [after coughing up stones carved with mysterious symbols]  Well, I have no recollection of consuming anything of the remotest sort.

  O'Neil : A man can hold a great deal inside that he does not comprehend. I am not familiar with these symbols, though.

  Whitehead : Nor I. I feel... Suddenly empty.

  O'Neil : Then maybe you should keep your mouth shut unless something else should rush in while you're not paying attention, because you are apparently nothing more than an envelope.

• [repeated line] 

  O'Neil : Open up and let the Devil in!

• Jacob : Friend. My business with your man is concluded. If 'tis all the same, I might bob off now. I confess I feel peaky. Could you do a few hours' kip?

  O'Neil : Do not address me as friend and do not speak to me directly again. Otherwise I'll turn you into a frog.
