The Black Cat1934

Poelzig:
[about Joan] You're interested?

Werdegast:
Maybe.

Poelzig:
I thought so. Well I'm not. Only spiritually.

Werdegast:
Spiritually?

Poelzig:
Tonight, it is the dark of the moon. We shall gather and...You had better come Vitus. The ceremony will interest you.

Werdegast:
Don't pretend Hjalmar. There was nothing spiritual in your eyes when you looked at that girl. You plan to keep her here.

Poelzig:
Perhaps.

Werdegast:
I intend to let her go.

Poelzig:
Is that a challenge Vitus?

Werdegast:
Yes, if you dare to fight it out alone.

Poelzig:
Do you dare play chess with me for her?

Werdegast:
Yes. I will even play you chess for her - provided if I win, they are free to go.

Poelzig:
You won't win, Vitus.
