The Twilight Zone1959
Jason Foster:
[dying]... It's what you've all been waiting for, I believe. Now you can dig deep in the treasury.
Emily Harper:
Are you feeling - weaker, Father?
Jason Foster:
At last... a note of hope in your voice, Emily?
Emily Harper:
Father, why must you always say such miserable, cruel things to me?
Wilfred Harper:
I quite agree, Father!
Jason Foster:
Why indeed, Emily, because you're cruel and miserable people! Because none of you *respond* to love. Emily responds only to what her petty hungers dictate. Wilfred responds only to things that have weight and bulk and value! He FEELS books, he doesn't read them! He APPRAISES paintings, he doesn't seek out their truth or their beauty! And Paula there lives in a mirror; the world is nothing more to her than a reflection of herself. And her brother... Humanity to him is a small animal, caught in a trap, to be tormented! His pleasure is the giving of pain, and from this he receives the same sense of fulfillment most human beings get from a kiss or an embrace! You're CARICATURES, ALL of you! Without your masks, you're CARICATURES!
