• John Kildare : [Reading a bloody writing in Latin on a wall at the scene of a heinous crime]  "He who observes spills no less blood than he who inflicts the blow." Lactantius

  George Flood : Impressive, sir.

  John Kildare : The truth has a habit of sticking in the mind.

  George Flood : Truth?

  John Kildare : Those who fail to prevent injustice are as guilty as the perpetrator. It's a message... to us.

• George Flood : What are you looking for?

  John Kildare : I'm just looking. Trying to understand.

  George Flood : The Golem's a madman. What else is there to be understood?

  John Kildare : Even madness has its own logic. Here, there's none.

• George Flood : Sometimes I suspect if I was despatched to hell, I'd barely notice the difference, bar the weather.

• Karl Marx : So... London declares that the Jew was murdered by a Jewish monster, hmm? And so absolves itself of all responsibility. Make no mistake, gentlemen. It is not Solomon Weil who was mutilated and murdered here, it is the Jew.

  George Flood : None of the Golem's other victims were Hebrews, sir.

  Karl Marx : [whispers]  But do you not see? This murderer strikes at the very symbols of the city. The Jew, the whore. They are the sacrificial tributes in this labyrinth of London, and so, of course, must be ritually butchered.

• George Flood : At least up there we can keep the hoi polloi out. Down here it's a lost cause.

  John Kildare : They can't all be reporters.

  George Flood : Oh, no. Locals looking for entertainment. Cheaper than a ticket to a shocker.

• George Flood : Golem suspect who is alive. That would be bad news.

  John Kildare : For his next victim, certainly.
