Quote context

[...]

- I'm in the prime of my strength. And I am lonely.

- Here is the story of man.

- In the slime of chaos there was the seed that rose and grew into the tree of life.

- Life was motion. Fins changed into wings. Wings into ears. Crawling reptiles grew legs.

- Eons of ages passed. There came a time when a four-legged thing walked upright. Behold, the first man.

- Heresy!

- Heresy? Do they still burn men for heresy? Then burn me, monsieur. Light the fire. Do you think your little candle will outshine the flame of truth?

- Do you think these boards and curtains are my whole life? They are only a trap to catch the pennies of fools.

- My life is consecrated to a great experiment. I tell you, I will prove your kinship with the ape.

(audience chattering)

- Erik's blood shall be mixed with the blood of man.

Heresy! -Heresy? Do they still burn men for heresy? Then burn me, monsieur. Light the fire. Do you think your little candle will outshine the flame of truth?

Think of what all those walls are hiding. Broken hopes and bodies and hearts. Absent dreams. Starvation, madness. Crimes of the streets. And tragedies of the river.
I'm Dr. Mirakle, messieurs, mesdames. And I am not the sideshow charlatan. So if you expect to witness the usual carnival hocus-pocus, just go to the box office and get your money back.
