“Demon in Lace” quotes from Kolchak: The Night Stalker

Carl Kolchak

[a car is driving down a country road at night. Kolchack speaks in a voiceover] It was Goethe who said we love girls for what they are. Even the great Goethe could have learned something from the tale that took place on the campus of Illinois State Tech. [the car stops in front of a woman] May 10th, 11:02. Don Rhiner, the school's star running back and candidate for All-American was out for a drive. [the woman gets into the car] Don never did make All-American.

Uh, do you have a comment to make?

Carl Kolchak

Well?

Yeah - but you couldn't print it.

Look, Kolchak - I gotta tell you something. Some people dream about retiring.

Carl Kolchak

Uh-huh.

I dream about breaking your face.

Carl Kolchak

I love you too, Siska. Listen - how's your therapy coming along? A-okay?

Shut up.

Carl Kolchak

He went bananas in Iraq.

He should have stayed in Chicago. The same thing would have happened; he would have saved travel expenses and jet lag.

Carl Kolchak

[into his tape recorder] The campus security force insisted on calling the Chicago Police to press charges against me. But they found a sudden surprising resistance from Dr. C. Evan Spate, who claimed the tablet had been broken accidentally. And despite verification by a confused and frightened Michael Thompson, neither reporter, Ms. Rosalind Winters nor I, had enough hard evidence to file a story. It had all turned to dust. However, published story or not, I can only say to you is that if you should ever meet a young woman who seems just too lovely to be really of this world, well just remember, there's a very good chance that she isn't.
