Quotes 

• Crown Prince Leopold : Well done.

  Eisenheim : Thank you for coming. I hope you enjoyed it.

  Crown Prince Leopold : Oh, we more than enjoyed it. Stimulated great debate among us, hasn't it? Except of course for your assistant Duchess Von Teschen. You seem to have struck her quite speechless. A feat in itself. Did you hypnotize her?

  Eisenheim : In a fashion.

  Crown Prince Leopold : I'd like to learn that trick. Rainer here seems to think you have supernatural powers. Do you claim supernatural powers?

  Eisenheim : I've never said anything of that kind.

  Crown Prince Leopold : Then you won't mind a question or two?

  Sophie : Now let's not ruin it.

  Crown Prince Leopold : You needn't divulge anything I can't guess.

  Eisenheim : As you wish.

  Crown Prince Leopold : Your assistants are behind the mirrors somewhere, in robes obviously. Lights in the frame perhaps to illuminate them, or angled mirrors.

  Eisenheim : That would be one way to do it.

  Crown Prince Leopold : I think I understand it all except the ghost. That was very, very good.

  Josef Fischer : Another viewing, perhaps?

  Crown Prince Leopold : You must come to the Hofburg next time. We'll make an evening of it.

  Eisenheim : That would be my pleasure.

  Crown Prince Leopold : So be it.

  [motions to Sophie] 

  Crown Prince Leopold : Sophie?

  [leaves with Sophie, then turns] 

  Crown Prince Leopold : And we'll gather our best minds next time. You'll really have a challenge then.

  Eisenheim : Then I shall prepare something special. Perhaps I'll make you disappear.

• Eisenheim : I was meant to return... I just... I kept thinking I'll find around the next corner...

  Sophie : What?

  Eisenheim : A real mystery. I saw remarkable things but the only mystery I never solved was... why my heart couldn't let go of you.

• Sophie : Then why did you speak to me? Why did you even bother talking...

  Eisenheim : [goes forward and passionately kisses her] 

• Eisenheim : Do you know me?

  Sophie : No.

  Eisenheim : Are you quite certain that we've never met?

  Sophie : Yes, of course.

• Sophie : What did you do to him?

  Eisenheim : I gave him what he asked for.

  Sophie : What possessed you to do something so foolish?

• Crown Prince Leopold : I know you've been with him.

  Sophie : It has nothing to do with you.

  Crown Prince Leopold : It has EVERYTHING to do with me!

• Eisenheim : Why don't you leave him?

  Sophie : It's not that easy.
