Cat People1942

Alice:
How much do you believe about the cat people?

Dr. Judd:
I believe...exactly as I told Mrs. Reed. The story is a product of her own fear - her own overworked imagination.

Alice:
Twice, I've been followed by something that was not human, something that attempted to take my life. I believe that was the cat form of Irena.

Dr. Judd:
Why should she wish to harm you?

Alice:
Because I'm in love with her husband.

Dr. Judd:
Oh, my dear Miss Moore, the story grows more and more charming, simpler too, all the time. You're both victims of fear. Mrs. Reed fears the past and you fear the present. Mrs. Reed has a very strong imagination and you have an equally strong conscience. To understand this, I should first have to hear Mrs. Reed's version of the story myself. That should be a most interesting interview.

Alice:
I shouldn't advise you to see her alone.

Dr. Judd:
Do you think I'm afraid of so charming a lady?

Alice:
Dr. Judd, I know you don't believe me, but you must be careful.

Dr. Judd:
You want me to carry some means of protection - a gun, perhaps, with a silver bullet? Is that what you mean?

Alice:
If you're lucky enough to have one.

Dr. Judd:
Hmmm. Of course, uh. [He displays the sword within his cane] This isn't silver.
