Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh (1996 Video Game)

Warren Burton: Paul Warner

Quotes 

• [Curtis enters the lab. He activates the desk computer, and voice comes out of it:] 

  Voice : Hello, Paul Warner. We have not been successful in attempt to synthesize compounds requested. Small living materials'd be useful. Larger ones are better. More, please.

  [Paul Warner sneaks into the room behind Curtis, closes the door. Curtis turns around, sees Warner points a gun at him] 

  Paul Alen Warner : Don't move, Curtis. Oh, how I wish it wouldn't have come to this.

  [Warner chuckles] 

  Curtis Craig : What the hell I was just talking to, Paul?

  Paul Alen Warner : Creatures from dimension X, of course.

  Curtis Craig : You killed my father, didn't you?

  Paul Alen Warner : He became a liability. Not everyone is strong enough to handle the sacrifice of human subjects for research.

  Curtis Craig : [spits]  You son of a bitch!

  Paul Alen Warner : You know, it's a good thing your dear old dad never knew he didn't really get his little boy back. He'd have lost his nerves much sooner.

  Curtis Craig : What are you talking about?

  Paul Alen Warner : Don't you remember? I threw poor little Curtis in there...

  [flashback: Warner grabs little Curtis, carrying him to the Threshold. Little Curtis desperately yells "Dad! Dad! Help!"] 

  Paul Alen Warner : ...but he never came out. You did. You're a replica, you're some kind of imitation human those things on the other side put together out of slime and dead rats and a little bit of Curtis' brain tissue. Oh, I told your father it was you, that it had been a terrible accident, and he believed me, because he wanted to.

  Curtis Craig : [desperately]  No!

  Paul Alen Warner : Yes. I'm afraid so. You started remembering a year ago, that's why we put you in the hospital, to observe you. I should say to observe you more closely.

  [Warner snickers nastily] 

  Paul Alen Warner : You see, we've been watching you like a bug in a jar even since those things spit you out of Threshold.

  Curtis Craig : Where am I? Where is HE?

  [the Hecatomb appears and knocks Warner unconscious. Curtis watches in horror] 

  The Hecatomb : Do allow me to introduce myself. Curtis Craig, at your service.

  Curtis Craig : [shakes his head, shocked and frightened]  Oh, my god... no, no, it can't be...

  The Hecatomb : What you see now is an electrical projection. A manifestation of my hatred toward you. My body, my human body, is in there.

  [the Hecatomb gestures toward the doorway to the alien dimension] 

  The Hecatomb : It is a twisted mess. Combining, decombining... they never even touch me!

  Curtis Craig : [shakes his head, whimpering]  Oh, god, I'm so sorry...

  The Hecatomb : Are you? Are you sorry that my body is a sickening operation? Are you sorry that I haven't slept for twenty years? I've been awake, Curtis, watching you, building my towers so that I can smash you, destroy you, take you life the way you took mine!

  Curtis Craig : [pleading]  It wasn't my fault. I didn't do it to you. I... I'm a victim too.

  The Hecatomb : [teasing]  Oh, baby... your pain will stop very soon, once your mind and your body will be mine. I almost got you, you know, when you were in the asylum. Almost.

  Curtis Craig : No... no! Don't!

  The Hecatomb : It's time to go now, Curtis. Say goodbye to your sanity!

  [the Hecatomb holds the severed head of Curtis' mother. Bolts of energy are shot out of her eyes and mouth, hitting Curtis' chest, making him fall on his knees, writhing in agony. Curtis manages to press a switch on the Threshold control panel, opening the doorway to the alien dimension - wide circle of swirling green mass. Curtis jumps through it]
