- Mr. Cairo: I don't know why I tell you this as it cannot possibly profit me in any way, but what you ask is imposible.
- Rebecca Madison: Our work on Cyberville is finally back on schedule.
- Maxwell Madison, Sr.: Work... work... I've been working on the railroad. I think I can, I think I can.
- Maxwell Madison, Jr.: Oh, look, Boudelaire. My father's having a train of thought.
- 24th Phantom: What's the big hurry, Guran? I still had at least a hundred meters to fall. You told me this kind of work was supposed to be exciting.
- Guran: Maybe there is a way I can make it up to you.
- Rebecca Madison: Did you hear that, Max? Your father's involved. He cares!
- Maxwell Madison, Jr.: Huh. But he's still dead.
- Steele: [in the Phantom's Lair] Disgraceful. When was the last time somebody cleaned these emitter-nodes? And these power cuffs just lying around.
- Steele: After that, my partner went home to work on the African miracles, I was still a crime-fighter, though not as fast as I used to be. Which would not have been so bad, except, Maximum invented Biots. And Biots cannot be tricked by my illusions. So I thought it was time to move on to something else. I turned my talents to making defensive weapons and other devices for your father the 23rd Phantom. But when he died in the Sector Zero train crash, I... retired completely.
- 24th Phantom: [snaps his fingers] You built my phase-suit! And my power cuffs. All this equipment!
- Steele: Yes, but your father never had the chance to use the latest versions I sent him.
- Heloise Walker: I see we have a visitor, from the past.
- 24th Phantom: Aunt Heloise, you'll never believe who this guy is!
- Steele: [they smile at each other for a moment] Heloise.
- Heloise Walker: [as he kisses her hand] It has been a long time since Paris.
- Steele: Ah, but your beauty is such that none would guess a single day has passed since last we met.
- Graft: Nothing was real?
- Maxwell Madison, Sr.: Strawberry Field's forever. I was there. I was the Eggman.
- Graft: You were *where*...?
- 24th Phantom: Uh, I don't want to stop this walk down Memory Lane, but Steele said the Phantom is it danger?
- Steele: I'm afraid the Phantom is in danger precisely because I not only walk down Memory Lane, I own it.
- Steele: Your father called it Hero after his grandfather's horse. It's a 1999 Mustang convertible, the last model produced with a gasoline-only engine.
- Steele: Perhaps this should have happened to me long ago.
- [leaves the garage shutting the doors behind him]
- Heloise Walker: But, Steele, what if -
- [opens the doors to find he's vanished]
- Guran: [shaking his head] Same old Steele.
- Steele: [comes in behind him as he's trying to pound through the safe] You needn't knock so hard, Graft. I heard you.
- 24th Phantom: Nice suit.
- Steele: A good tux never goes out of style, my boy. But didn't I tell you to wait in the garage?
- 24th Phantom: Would my father have waited?
- Steele: No. He didn't have any sense either. That is why we were friends.
- Heloise Walker: I - *we*, were worried.
- Steele: No need. Your nephew and I make quite a team. It made me remember...
- 24th Phantom: Hey, no offense, but we'll need more than magic to get this old junker past that particle-canon.
- Steele: As I've told you, I've added a few modifications. Hero, activate Phantom mode
- [the car converts into a more technologically-advanced version]
- 24th Phantom: O-ho-ho, a *few* modifications?
- Steele: My home is filled with memories I could not bear to part with. Photos, letters - and any of them could lead Graft to you. I do not need *things* to remind me of the past. We cannot return to the lair until I've let them go.
- Steele: I suppose we could always make *new* memories.
- Heloise Walker: That's the best offer I've had in years.
- [they kiss]
- [last lines]
- Sagan Cruz: Now just tell me one thing. Has there always been one Phantom, or are you...
- Guran: The Phantom is The *Ghost* Who Walks. The Man Who Cannot Die. He was, he is, he will be. As long as injustice walks in this world.
- 24th Phantom: Maybe if you knew for sure, the Phantom would be just like anyone else. A little mystery makes him stronger. A little mystery... and a little magic.
- Steele: [listening from the cruiser with Heloise] I couldn't have said it better myself.
- [creates a flower and offers it to her, they lean in closer]
