Quotes from
Richard Mason: That's a very pretty thought, Doctor, but I don't quite see how you can take a thought out of a man's head. It seems to me if it's there, it's there and there's nothing can be done about it.
Prof. Norman Holsworth: You see, Doctor Hamilton belongs to the Freudian school of psychology, he believes that love rather than money is the root of all evil.
Evelyn Turner: It's nothing of the king. Beg your pardon, Doctor Hamilton, but love doesn't always cause unhappiness and trouble. It's been one of man's inspirations for centuries. Why it's been the basis of some of the greatest stories ever written. Look at Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, Abelard and Eloise.
Richard Mason: Yes but look what happened to them.
Evelyn Turner: Oh Dick that's not fair. You know what I mean, it doesn't matter what happens to people as long as they have something to live for.
Dr. Mark Hamilton: But they didn't live for it, they died for it.
Evelyn Turner: Is your heart in a cage, Professor Holsworth?
Prof. Norman Holsworth: Oh I give it a little birdseed now and then.
Evelyn Turner: That's very strongminded of you, but I'm not quite convinced.
Prof. Norman Holsworth: Neither am I.
