Quotes:

You talked to him at some length.::Dr. Namaroff: I believe I did.::Professor Jules Heitz: What impression did you form of him?::Dr. Namaroff: Well, I thought he was... [Pausing to light a match]::Professor Jules Heitz: Normal?::Dr. Namaroff: Why, yes, of course.::Professor Jules Heitz: Yet capable of murder?::Dr. Namaroff: My dear Heitz, that is hardly a fair question. Given a certain set of circumstances, I believe almost everyone is capable of murder.

Prof. Karl Meister: Well, I hadn't seen you for some considerable time, so I thought I'd come see what you're doing.::Paul Heitz: It's a long story.::Prof. Karl Meister: I've come a long way to hear it.

Prof. Karl Meister: [Contemptuously to Inspector Kanof] Don't use long words, Inspector; they don't suit you.

Dr. Namaroff: [Seeing Carla's reaction to his dissecting of a brain] It isn't a pretty sight. Never ceases to amaze me why the most noble word of God, the human brain, is the most revolting to the human eye.

Dr. Namaroff: We are men of science. I don't believe in ghosts or evil spirits, and I don't think you do, either.::Professor Jules Heitz: That's one of the most unscientific remarks I have ever heard. I believe in the existence of everything which the human brain is unable to disprove.

Coroner: [At the inquisition of Bruno Heitz] From the evidence I've heard, I have the impression that your son was somewhat of a bohemian. Would you agree with that?::Professor Jules Heitz: He was a talented artist. His life was of his own choosing.::Coroner: I also had the impression he was a libertine.::Professor Jules Heitz: [emphatically] No!::Coroner: He had a number of girlfriends?::Professor Jules Heitz: Possibly. However, that does not make him a libertine.

Prof. Karl Meister: Good heavens, Paul. What's happened to you?::Paul Heitz: Oh, why I've um, I've been ill.::Prof. Karl Meister: Ill? You must have been in your grave and dug your way out.
