The Red Circle

The Fly

Seth Brundle: [to Veronica] You’re afraid to dive into the plasma pool, aren’t you? You’re afraid to be destroyed and recreated, aren’t you? I’ll bet you think that you woke me up about the flesh, don’t you? But you only know society’s straight line about the flesh. You can’t penetrate beyond society’s sick, gray, fear of the flesh. Drink deep, or taste not, the plasma spring! Y’see what I’m saying? And I’m not just talking about sex and penetration. I’m talking about penetration beyond the veil of the flesh! A deep penetrating dive into the plasma pool!

Welcome to TRC

Horace Granville: You’re mad!
No. 39013, Harry Crowel: I spent 15 years in a cell like that. That’s enough to make anyone, if not mad, then very annoyed.

From DAREDEVILS OF THE RED CIRCLE (1939)

THE RED CIRCLE

“He told me, and my own heart grew cold as ice as I listened. My poor Gennaro, in his wild and fiery days, when all the world seemed against him and his mind was driven half mad by the injustices of life, had joint a Neapolitan society, the Red Circle, which was allied to the old Carbonari. The oaths and secrets of this brotherhood were frightful, but once within its rule no escape was possible.”

Drag Me to Hell

Waitress: So you’re just going to sit here all night, drinking coffee?
Christine Brown: Yes… No! Maybe! Whats it to you?
Waitress: Honey, I’m working a job where tips is my living,
and coffee drinkers DON’T TIP!
Christine Brown: [Holds up envelope containing the cursed button] You keep the coffee coming honey, or I’ll give you a tip you won’t forget!
