Lorenzo's Oil1992

Michaela Odone:
The life of one boy is not enough reward for you to risk the reputation of the institution and the esteem of your peers.

Professor Nikolais:
That was uncalled for. Your responsibility is merely towards your own child. My responsibility is towards all the boys that suffer from this disease, now and in the future. Of course I anguish for the suffering of your boy. And of course I applaud you for the efforts you make on his behalf. But I will have nothing to do with this oil.

Michaela Odone:
We are not asking, Doctor, for your anguish or your applause. We are asking merely for a little courage.
