The Devil and Daniel Webster
1941
Mr Scratch: To tell the truth, Mr Webster, though I don't like to boast of it, my name in this country is older than yours.
Daniel Webster: I'll fight ten thousand devils to save a New Hampshire man.
Mr Scratch: You'll never be president - I'll see to that!
Daniel Webster: If two New Hampshire men aren't a match for the devil, we'd better give this country back to the Indians.
Mr Scratch: (Jabez, after noticing that one of Mr Scratch's victims is now the size of a fly, asks him how big their souls are) Oh, I see what you mean; why, they vary... Now, in your case, I could probably keep you in my vest pocket.
(Jabez Stone is examining Mr Scratch's contract) Jabez Stone: What does it mean here, about my soul? Mr Scratch: Why should that worry you? A soul? A soul is nothing. Can you see it, smell it, touch it? No. This soul, *your* soul, are nothing against seven years of good luck. You'll have money and all that money can buy.
