Vertigo1958

Scottie:
It's because of this fear of heights I have, this acrophobia. I wake up at night seeing that man fall from the roof and I try to reach out to him, it's just...

Midge:
It wasn't your fault.

Scottie:
I know. That's what everybody tells me.

Midge:
Johnny, the doctors explained to you.

Scottie:
I know. I know. I have acrophobia which gives me vertigo and I get dizzy. Boy, what a moment to find out I had it!

Midge:
Well, you've got it and there's no losing it. And there's no one to blame, so why quit?

Scottie:
You mean and sit behind a desk, chair-bound...

Midge:
...where you belong.

Scottie:
What about my acrophobia? What about... Now, suppose, suppose I'm sitting in this chair behind a desk, here's the desk, and a pencil falls from the desk down to the floor, and I reach down to pick up the pencil - BINGO - my acrophobia's back.

Midge:
[Laughing.] Oh, Johnny-O.
