Dr. Anna Strauss:
[after witnessing Charly painting nude women, furiously at Richard]
What are you trying to turn him into, some kind of a sideshow freak? Dr. Richard Nemur:
Now, Anna, don't be ridiculous. Dr. Anna Strauss:
You're pushing your program for his intellectual development much too rapidly. It has to keep pace with my program for his emotional development, or the imbalance will become dangerous! I thought we were to be satisfied with a minor miracle... Dr. Richard Nemur:
What are you afraid of? Dr. Anna Strauss:
...to help a retarded human being become a more productive member of society. Dr. Richard Nemur:
He has shown no indication of any mental ceiling. So why are you afraid to reach for whatever that ceiling may be? In any event, we shall have to give Mrs. Kinnian her notice. Dr. Anna Strauss:
What? Dr. Richard Nemur:
All she can do now is ask him questions out of books that he's already absorbed. What he needs at this point is a giant step forward - new conceptualization, inductive thinking. And that calls for experts, not Alice Kinnian. Dr. Anna Strauss:
I will say it once more, Richard: Charly Gordon is still a child emotionally. Dr. Richard Nemur:
I don't agree
