Quotes from
Richard Mason: Oh yes you are. It's our fifth anniversary, you wouldn't miss it for anything. You'll go and I'll go like thousands of others go and laugh at the rest of them.
Dr. Mark Hamilton: Never having been married myself, I've always had a warm spot in my heart for those who have achieved it.
Evelyn Turner: Achieved it?
Dr. Mark Hamilton: Certainly, as a psychologist I can assure you a happy marriage is indeed a rare achievement.
Evelyn Turner: Isn't that rather cynical?
Dr. Mark Hamilton: Well perhaps it is but you see marriage is a very tricky business. People have impulses, compulsions, drives that to say towards escape, escape from loneliness. They seek their escape in the companionship of someone else and lo just when they think they've achieved it, they find they put on their own handcuffs.
Richard Mason: What're you doing here? What've you got to do with all of this?
Dr. Mark Hamilton: I caught the one slip you made. The rose. You said Kathryn was wearing it the last time you saw her.
Richard Mason: She was! It was pinned to her coat.
Dr. Mark Hamilton: I gave her that rose when she stopped at my house. A rose you couldn't have seen when you were supposed to be helpless at home.
