Melvin B. Tolson: Denigrate. There's a word for you. From the Latin word "niger", to defame, to blacken. It's always there, isn't it? Even in the dictionary. Even in the speech of a Negro professor. Somehow, "black" is always equated with failure.

Governor: Lord Henry Blackwood, you are sentenced to death for the practice of black magic, the unholy murders of five innocent young women, and the attempted murder of a sixth. Have you any final words? Lord Blackwood: Death... is only the beginning...
[last lines] John: [voice over] Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not you, not any more... [begins to close door] John: GAME OVER! Adam: Don't! Don't! [screams, screen goes black] Adam: NO! [screams of anguish fade out]
