The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960)

Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Referring to deaf and dumb schoolchildren who are fighting at recess] In each one of these dumb human animals there is a personality which shows itself only in play.
Dr. Ernst Littauer: Dumb human animals? Henry, these are not pretty guinea pigs; they are children who cannot speak.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: But I am convinced that, in this case, the not speaking is a refusal of one part of the mind to allow the other part to express itself freely.
Dr. Ernst Littauer: You suggest they play out what they cannot speak out?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Precisely!
Dr. Ernst Littauer: You are the same Hnry Jekyll, forever seeking keys to the locked doors of the mind.

Dr. Henry Jekyll: I'm new to your wicked city.
Cabby: [after Jekyll is out of earshot] It's only wicked if you're poor, sir.

Paul Allen: [as the scantily clad Maria walks by their table going to her dressing room] Ah, Maria! The unattainable Eve with her apples and snakes.
Maria: [Politely] It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Allen.
Paul Allen: You have a new admirer, my dear, Mr. Edward Hyde.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: [Obviously attracted to her] Enchanted! My sincere compliments.
Maria: You are most kind, Mr. Hyde.
Paul Allen: That's natural manners. She only uses Christian names in bed.
[Insulted, Maria throws a drink from the table in his face]
