    • Quotes

      Dr. Philip Brock: But you don't understand, he is a very exceptional child.

      Harley Rummel: Of course, he's an exceptional child - he's mine.

      Dr. Philip Brock: No. Absolutely not. You have signed a release.

      Harley Rummel: I want my baby. I can't live without him!

      Dr. Philip Brock: Mr. Rummel, don't you want your baby cured?

      Harley Rummel: I want him home.

      Dr. Philip Brock: But you must leave him here - in the interests of science.

      Harley Rummel: Science! Science! what does science know of a father's love? Can it mend a broken heart?

      Dr. Philip Brock: Now you listen to me. Now this child remains here tonight. We've got to photograph him before...

      Harley Rummel: Photograph him! Don't you dare turn a camera on that child. Do you hear? Who gave you the right, who gave you the permission to exploit my son?

      Dr. Philip Brock: No one is exploiting your son. Cinematography is an invaluable tool of medical research.

      Harley Rummel: It's a tool of the devil!

      Dr. Philip Brock: Oh, it's nothing of the sort. It's almost on a par with x-ray when it comes to scientific...

      Harley Rummel: Don't tell me what movies are good for him. Just give me the kid!

      Dr. Philip Brock: No! Absolutely not. You signed a release. The child remains here. You can have him back tomorrow.

      Harley Rummel: Doctor, I will pray on bended-knees for socialized medicine!

    Never Act With Small Children
    This is a prime example of this show biz dictum. Beatty and Caron both act as if they are embarrassed to be in this cheap, poorly written, smutty comedy, and well they should. Apparently they were having an affair at the time and would rather be off alone. So would you if you were in this movie. Give it a miss unless you're a fan.
