Quotes 

• Abbott : The arm of the English law needed help in taking our friend to the station... very, very reluctantly. I've given him in charge.

  Nurse Agnes : For disorderly behavior in a sacred edifice.

  [Rawlings laughs] 

• Nurse Agnes : Perhaps those who may be among us tonight for the first time and who have not yet come initiated into the mysteries of the first circle of the seventh old ray, may be wondering what is going to happen now. I would tell them, before proceeding to the mysteries, which are only for the initiate, it is of course necessary for the minds and souls of us all to become purged and to be made clean. I'm therefore going to ask anyone here, who is not in tune with us, to submit to a very simple process of control - merely place him or herself under the guidance of the fourth circle. Is there anyone here tonight who would care - perhaps you?

• Nurse Agnes : Relax. Keep your eyes fixed on this light. Keep them fixed. Before receiving the first degree of the seventh old ray, your mind must be white and blank. You are already feeling sleepy. Do you hear me?

  Clive : Yes.

  Nurse Agnes : Your mind is becoming quite blank. You feel that, don't you? Quite, quite blank.

  Clive : Yes. Quite blank.
