The Shadow Movie Quotes
Margo Lane
Oh, God I dreamed.
Lamont Cranston
So did I. What did you dream?
Margo Lane
I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?
Lamont Cranston
I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath.
Margo Lane
You have problems.
Lamont Cranston
I'm aware of that.

Shiwan Khan
In three days, the entire world will hear my roar, and willingly fall subject to the lost empire of Shan Kahn. That is a lovely tie, by the way. May I ask where you acquire it?
Lamont Cranston
Brooks Brothers.
Shiwan Khan
Is that mid-town?
Lamont Cranston
45th and Madison. You are a barbarian.
Shiwan Khan
Thank you. We both are.

Lamont Cranston
Do you have *any* *idea* who you just kidnapped?
Tulku
Cranston; Lamont Cranston.
Lamont Cranston
You know my real name?
Tulku
Yes. I also know that for as long as you can remember, you struggled against your own black heart and always lost. You watched your sprit, your very face change as the beast claws its way out from within you. You are in great pain, aren't you?
[Cranston leaps at the Tulku, who magically vanishes and reappears]
Tulku
You know what evil lurks in the hearts of men, for you have seen that evil in your own heart. Every man pays a price for redemption; this is yours.
Lamont Cranston
I'm not lookin' for redemption!
Tulku
You have no choice: you *will* be redeemed, because I will teach you to use your black shadow to fight evil.

There.

[sees Barth reading a note]
What's the matter? Cops and robbers business slowing down?
Barth
Mm-mm. It's a report of that damn Shadow character again.
Lamont Cranston
I thought you said he was only a rumor.
Barth
I'm sick of this Shadow business. His meddling in police affairs. This time tomorrow, I'll put a task force on him.
Barth
No. The hell with it. I'm not going to appoint a task force.
Lamont Cranston
You're not going to pay any attention to these reports of the Shadow.
Barth
Ignore them entirely.
Lamont Cranston
There is no Shadow.
Barth
No, there is no Shadow. If there were, I'd be Eleanor Roosevelt.

[Shiwan Khan stabs the Phurba into the table between Lamont's fingers]
Oh, that knife.
Shiwan Khan
Recognize it? I took it from the Tulku. No. No, no. I correct myself. I took it out of the Tulku after I ran it through his heart. When will you learn to listen to your instincts.
Lamont Cranston
Instincts? I'll show you my instincts.
[takes the Phurba and attempts to use it to kill Khan but the Phurba prevents it]
Shiwan Khan
Never did master the Phurba did you? Still expect it to respond to brute force.

Margot: you don't return my calls anymore.
