- [Stedman is sitting alone in a darkened television studio as Catherine Whitset enters and points to the broadcasting equipment]
- Catherine Whitset: It's very complicated, isn't it?
- Alex Stedman: It has to be.
- Catherine Whitset: Why?
- Alex Stedman: It saves people from having to think about what they're really doing. They have to concentrate on how to do it.
- Catherine Whitset: That's therapy. It doesn't really help.
- Alex Stedman: Therapy.
- [pause]
- Alex Stedman: Are you looking for anyone? I believe they've all gone home.
- Catherine Whitset: You haven't.
- Alex Stedman: How did you get in?
- Catherine Whitset: I lied to the guard.
- Alex Stedman: Why?
- Catherine Whitset: I'm obsessive. I lie to guards.
- Alex Stedman: That's not very serious.
- Catherine Whitset: [Walking up to look through one of the video cameras] I love TV. Even when it's terrible.
- [Walks over to Stedman]
- Catherine Whitset: I think I'm going blind from watching TV. Do you see? Look closely.
- [Pulls down her eyelid]
- Catherine Whitset: See the deterioration? I'm a victim of the electronic age.
- Alex Stedman: [Ruefully] Me too.
- Dr. Leo Whitset: [dying] Listen, please... I've bungled it... I messed it up... Nobody to blame but me...
- Dr. Milton Gillen: What are you staring at?
- Mark: Er.. nothing. I, er, I've rarely seen you smoking.
- Dr. Milton Gillen: Stop being so damned observant. You student-analysts are compulsively observant - that's all you do is observe. You spend so much time observing, you don't have time to think. Let's go. Keep in mind, Doctor, there may be times when a man smokes a cigar because he wishes to smoke a cigar.
