POLICE CAPTAIN (Scott H. Hall): "Seven killings in two weeks. Young girls. And each killing more brutal than the other. This lab report doesn't mean anything. We went over that last girl's apartment with a fine tooth comb. The body looked like Jack the Ripper got to it."

DET. PETE THORNTON (William Kerwin): "Well, Frank... this looks like one of those long hard ones."

MRS. FREMONT (Lyn Bolton): "I want something unusual... something totally different."
FUAD RAMSES (Mal Arnold): "Yes, Mrs. Fremont. I do cater to unusual affairs. What do you consider to be unusual?"
MRS. FREMONT: "Oh, I don't know. What do you recommend?"
FUAD RAMSES: "Have you ever had an Egyptian feast?"
MRS. FREMONT: "Why that would be fine, that would be perfect. My daughter, Suzette, is a student of Egyptian culture. Mr. Ramses, she'd just love it. An Egyptian feast!"
FUAD RAMSES: "Yes... an authentic dinner... such as one might have attended in ancient Egypt. The actual feast... of an ancient pharaoh. It has not been served for five... thousand... years."

PETE: "Say, what do you make of these murders, Frank? He always kills the same way. He just takes one part of the body. This time he took the brains."

FUAD RAMSES: "All is nearly ready... nearly ready... the ancient formula needed for your rebirth. Now we shall have the flavor... the special flavor... seasoned just right for you, oh Mother of... of the Veil of Darkness."

SUZETTE FREMONT (Connie Mason): "I was reading about all those murders and it sort of takes all the joy out of everything."

PROFESSOR (Al Golden): "Hers was an evil love that thrived on violence!"

DOCTOR (Hal Rich): "This is one of the most brutal cases I've ever seen. Her face was hacked away clear to the bone."

PETE: "Well, the killer must have thought she was dead. It's a miracle she wasn't."
POLICE CAPTAIN: "Well, she is now."

FUAD RAMSES: "And now, now for the flavor, Ishtar. The flavor of blood!"

FUAD RAMSES: "Give yourself up to the Goddess!"

PETE: "Ishtar... Itar... Ishtar... Itar..."

POLICE CAPTAIN: "What in the name of all that's holy is that?"
PETE: "That's Ishtar, Frank."

PETE: "Frank, if I'm right, these are the leftovers from the preparation for the Feast of Ishtar. That's a blood feast. They take all the young girls and they cook 'em to satisfy their Goddess."

POLICE CAPTAIN: "Call the Fremonts. For Pete's sake, tell them not to eat anything!"

MRS. FREMONT: "I'll bet there was never a party like this."
FUAD RAMSES: "Ah, but there was, Mrs. Fremont. Five thousand years ago."

POLICE CAPTAIN: "Mrs. Fremont, this feast is evidence for murder!"
MRS. FREMONT: "Oh dear... I guess we'll have to eat hamburgers for dinner tonight."

PETE: "Lust, murder, food for an ancient goddess who received life through the perverted death of others."
