• Eva Kant : I was expecting you, Inspector.

  Inspector Ginko : I knew you wouldn't be able to resist seeing him.

• Diabolik : You got the time, baby?

  Eva Kant : [posing as a prostitute]  Depends, handsome - so far, I've turned down all offers.

  Diabolik : Why? What's your price?

  Eva Kant : An emerald necklace!

  Diabolik : [chuckles]  You look worth it. Hop in.

  [she gets into Diabolik's Jaguar] 

  Diabolik : Well?

  Eva Kant : Lady Clark's room is... is the highest window, the one that's lit up.

  Diabolik : And?

  Eva Kant : l saw a truck delivering some television equipment.

  Diabolik : Closed-circuit TV... many police?

  Eva Kant : About fifty outside, and thirty inside dressed as waiters.

  Diabolik : Hm, and Ginko's the chef.

  Eva Kant : I didn't see Ginko.

  Diabolik : If you didn't see him... he's there. Anyone notice you?

  Eva Kant : Oh, one of the girls on the sidewalk asked me a few questions. She thought l was trying to move in on her beat - a redhead.

  [they chuckle, not knowing the redhead is a spy for Valmont] 

• Eva Kant : You've been asleep for twenty hours.

  Diabolik : Twenty hours?

  Eva Kant : I slipped you a sleeping pill.

  Diabolik : Why?

  [Eva gently kisses his nose] 

  Eva Kant : When you're not planning, I'm afraid you get restless. I'd rather have you sleep.

  [they kiss] 

• Diabolik : Don't come near, honey. Molten gold wouldn't suit your skin.

  Eva Kant : You be careful.

  Diabolik : Don't worry. With this suit, l could swim through the center of the sun.

• Diabolik : [as the police swarm the underground lair]  Run. I'll meet you in Tunnel Number 7; they'll never find us there.

  Eva Kant : [panicked]  Why aren't you coming now?

  Diabolik : I've got to open the locks. They'll drown like rats.

  Eva Kant : I'll wait for you. I'm not going alone!

  Diabolik : Eva, you'll not be alone while I live! Now, go!

  [Eva slowly disappears into the darkness of a cave] 

• [last lines] 

  Eva Kant : [to Inspector Ginko after Diabolik seemingly dies covered in gold]  Please... give me a few seconds more. Alone.

  [Ginko turns away. Diabolik winks at her] 

  Eva Kant : Thank you, Inspector. You don't know how... grateful I am.

• Dr. Ferrara - Morgue Physician : We'll begin with a circular incision... scalpel.

  [Eva, disguised as a nurse, reluctantly hands him the scalpel. As Ferrara prepares the incision, Diabolik suddenly awakens, pulls off his surgical mask and turns the scalpel on him] 

  Diabolik : Krushan, doctor. The Tibetan lamas have used it for three thousand years. lt brings on a state of suspended animation for twelve hours. But if you're not given the antidote, the apparent death becomes real. How long's it been, Eva?

  Eva Kant : [checks a clock]  Eleven hours and fifty-seven minutes. I thought it would be too late.

• Diabolik : [after placing nine of the emeralds around Eva's chest]  Happy birthday.

  Eva Kant : Oh, you shouldn't have done it!

  [they kiss and fall into a pool] 

• Eva Kant : [talking to journalists while disguised as a nurse and wheeling Diabolik away]  I'm sorry. All l can tell you is that it will be... sensational. Bye, now.
