Magnus Dens : [Magnus and Paulis are in the ruins of the Dens family home... they talk about the night Lionel died] Tell me what happened. I'd like to know about his death.
Dr. Paulis : Are you sure you want to know about all that?
Magnus Dens : Yes, I'm sure.
Dr. Paulis : [somberly] Well, he became involved in this project and well, it just took over his life! His entire life! He worked... he worked like a fiend! And so did I. I couldn't take it... I had to get away... to the mainland. Then late one night he called me, and he said he had found a definite clue about the causes of mutation leading to gigantism in sea life, and he was going to dissect immediately. Well, I told him to wait until I got back, but well, he just went ahead. And we never found him.
Magnus Dens : [stammering] Well, what happened? How could that be possible, I mean, what happened to his body?
Dr. Paulis : [low] Are you sure you want to believe in all that?
Magnus Dens : Please, Dr. Paulis! I want to know!
Dr. Paulis : He was consumed by sea life... then finished.
Magnus Dens : You mean he was eaten!
Dr. Paulis : [enraged] Yes, he was eaten!
