:12:00
Good and evil are so close as to be
chained together in the soul.
:12:03
Now, suppose we could break that chain,
separate those two selves...
:12:07
...free the good in man, and let it go to its
higher destiny and segregate the bad.
:12:11
But aren't you a bit presumptuous
in assuming that there's evil in all men?
:12:15
But isn't that true? Wouldn't we be
hypocrites if we didn't admit that?
:12:20
After all, we've all had thoughts that we
didn't want published or shouted out loud.
:12:24
And we certainly have had desires
that are not confined to a drawing room.
:12:28
Why, as Christians, we admit
that man is created weak.
:12:31
That's a perfectly honest problem.
Why don't we face it?
:12:34
Suppose we believe that man's soul
has not yet reached its fulfillment.
:12:39
Is it wise--? Is it right to tamper
with the problem...
:12:42
...until the Creator himself has solved it
in his own mysterious way?
:12:46
-Sir, l--
-Really, this is very disturbing.
:12:49
Such theories come dangerously close to....
:12:52
I hesitate to think what the medical
council would say--
:12:55
Dr. Courtland, advanced theories are always
a sore point with the medical council.
:13:00
Or even with the queen's physician,
if there's a comfortable profit...
:13:04
-...in those already established.
-Jekyll!
:13:07
If you ask my opinion, young man,
this is pure balderdash.
:13:12
-Ladies.
-I meant to ask:
:13:14
Has anyone read that poem
by this new chap Oscar Wilde?
:13:41
-Getting old, I suppose.
-Well, it's pretty late.
:13:44
-We ought to--
-No. Come in and have a nightcap, John.
:13:47
The rest of the company won't be bored.
:13:49
Well, thank you, sir.
