The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll1960
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.
