Dialogue

edit
Editor Joe McGinty: Say, have you ever had a date with a girl?
Reporter Johnny Layton: A girl? Oh, yes, a girl. I believe I did take a girl out once.

Henry Morton: You're a dreamer, Doc. Too much money is bad for dreamers.
Dr. Paul Carruthers: So you tried to pay me in flattery, telling me that I'm a dreamer. Well... I do dream - dreams that you would never guess.

'One-Shot' McGuire: I'm not feeling too hot, would you take my temperature?
Dr. Paul Carruthers: You are perfectly alright.
'One-Shot' McGuire: Oh yeah? Well you should see my tongue, it looks just like a squirrel's tail!

Henry Morton: Dr. Carruthers, you can't pretend that you can control man's fate.
Dr. Paul Carruthers: I've already proven it, three times.
