Bill Paterson: Mr. Gibson

Quotes 

• Roger Hamley : May I come to the house?

  Mr. Gibson : I won't run the risk of infection if you don't mind.

  Roger Hamley : Then I won't see Molly before I leave.

  Mr. Gibson : Oh. So that's how it is.

• Mr. Gibson : You're becoming a very surprising young woman.

• Mr. Gibson : Women are queer, unreasoning creatures and just as likely as not to love a man who's been throwing his affection away.

  Roger Hamley : Thank you sir, I see you mean to give me encouragement.

  Mr. Gibson : My encouragement is neither here nor there, for if she can stomach ya, I dare say I can.

• Claire Gibson : Riches are a great snare you know.

  Mr. Gibson : Be thankful you're spared temptation, my dear.

• Mr. Gibson : [Mr. Gibson to Roger]  Lover versus Father, lover wins.

• Roger Hamley : Then may I come to the house? Just once?

  Mr. Gibson : No definitely not and there I come in as a doctor as well as a father. No.

  Roger Hamley : Then if I don't come back I shall haunt you for having been so cruel.

  Mr. Gibson : Come, I like that. Give me a wise man of science in love. No-one to beat him for folly.
