- Myrte: It's all so beautiful... and yet so strange. I feel a sense of - I don't know - some indefinable menace... A vague sense of fear... like a fear of death... A contraction deep inside my soul that makes me shiver.
- Nicola: It's the night air that makes you shiver.
- Professor Gualtier Morgan: It's *not* the night air... I too feel what Myrte feels... It's not the night air.
- Professor Gualtier Morgan: Artemio my friend, I have always had the suspicion that you have never taken part in the Feast of the Birth of the New Sun!
- Artemio: I took pictures...!
- Professor Gualtier Morgan: They were fakes! You have made a fool of old man Olsen!
