Dr. Philip Brock : But you don't understand, he is a very exceptional child.
Harley Rummel : Of course, he's an exceptional child - he's mine.
Dr. Philip Brock : No. Absolutely not. You have signed a release.
Harley Rummel : I want my baby. I can't live without him!
Dr. Philip Brock : Mr. Rummel, don't you want your baby cured?
Harley Rummel : I want him home.
Dr. Philip Brock : But you must leave him here - in the interests of science.

Dr. Philip Brock : No one is exploiting your son. Cinematography is an invaluable tool of medical research.
Harley Rummel : It's a tool of the devil!
Dr. Philip Brock : Oh, it's nothing of the sort. It's almost on a par with x-ray when it comes to scientific...

Dr. Philip Brock : Oh, a girl I hired last month.
