The Limehouse Golem (2016)

Inspector Roberts: Gentlemen, gentlemen, please! I'd ask you to direct your requests to my colleague... Detective Inspector Kildare. He's taking over the case.
John Kildare: Taking over?
Inspector Roberts: I'm just stepping aside, not stepping down. The public seeks reassurance, Kildare. What better way than to give them new blood?

John Kildare: "He who observes... spills no less blood than he who inflicts the blow." Lactantius.
George Flood: Impressive, sir.
John Kildare: The truth has a habit of sticking in the mind.
George Flood: Truth?
John Kildare: Those who fail to prevent injustice are as guilty as the perpetrator.

George Flood: The Dan Leno?
Librarian: And the Karl Marx and George Gissing. If you're a follower of philosophy and literature.

Dan Leno: Finished already? That's the second this week.
Lizzie Cree: I think books might be my first love. And I've always heard it said that first love is insatiable.

Karl Marx: So... London declares that the Jew was murdered by a Jewish monster? And so absolves itself of all responsibility. Make no mistake, gentlemen... it is not Solomon Weil who's mutilated and murdered here. It is the Jew.
George Flood: None of the Golem's other victims were Hebrews, sir.
Karl Marx: But do you not see? This murderer strikes at the very symbols of the city... the Jew, the whore. They are the sacrificial tributes in this labyrinth of London. And so of course must be ritually butchered.

Lizzie Cree: Remember that book you lent me? Pope? In the temple of fame, some people's names are carved in stone and others in ice. We're clowns, Dan. We'll be forgotten.

Lizzie Cree: We used one another equally. Perhaps that's the best that can be said of any coupling.
John Kildare: That's a very dim view.
Lizzie Cree: If you seek a dim view, be sure to ask a comedian.

John Kildare: Do you think he was capable of ending a life? Literally, I mean.
Dan Leno: Who knows what any man is capable of? We all wear pantomime masks... do we not?

John Kildare: All you need to do is tell the truth.
Lizzie Cree: I have never told you anything but the truth, Kildare.

Lizzie Cree: Well, it seems the show must go on.
