-
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.

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!
