本片段劇情：巴茲爾終于完成了道林·格雷的畫像。這幅畫像是如此傳神，以至于道林本人都深深地被畫像中的自己所吸引。這時(shí)他產(chǎn)生了一個(gè)想法，用靈魂和魔鬼交換青春不老的容顏……

影片對白：

Henry: Well, Basil, it's quite the best thing you've done. You'll be the talk of the town. Both of you. Speak up, boy. You'll hurt his feelings.

Gray: Is that really how I look? It's just so...life-like.

Henry: Better than life. He'll always look like that. You, Mr Gray, I'm afraid will not. In time, Mother Nature will come a very poor second to Father Basil.

Basil: Some things are precious because they don't last.

Henry: Poppycock. We wither and scar because the gods are cruel and hateful.

Gray: Perhaps I should nail my soul to the Devil's altar.

Henry: And remain as you are? Fair trade.

Basil: How about another gin instead?

Dorian: All that hocus-pocus, endless conjurations, books bound in infant skin, pentacles of fire, drinking the blood of virgins. Dorian wouldn't really barter his soul. Would you, Dorian? Would you?

Gray: Yes.

Henry's aunt: Oh, you really have captured something quite exquisite, Basil.

Basil: I've never known a subject so unaffected. The brush just seemed to dance and I just painted what I saw.

Gray: Kelso will turn in his grave. He didn't care to look at me. He blamed me for my mother, for her death.

Henry: There are no limits to the ugliness of old men.

Henry's aunt: Lips! And his eyes! Almost a match for the original.

Henry: I’m afraid you must get used to being looked at.

Dorian: Well, it's a fine painting.

Henry: I don't mean the painting.

Photographer: Mr Gray, if you please.
