Quotes 

• Dr. Scott Elliott : Not even nature can duplicate character, not even in twins.

• Terry Collins : Terry and I have never been rivals. Never. Not in the slightest.

  Dr. Scott Elliott : All women are rivals fundamentally, but it never bothers them because they automatically discount the successes of others and alibi their own failures on the grounds of circumstances. Luck, they say. But between sisters it's a little more serious: the circumstances are generally about the same, so they have fewer excuses with which to comfort themselves. That's why sisters can hate each other with such terrifying intensity. As for twins, especially identical twins... well, you must have some idea yourself what agonies of jealousy are possible.
