Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #3

want published or shouted out loud.

And we certainly have had desires

that are not confined to a drawing room.

Why, as Christians, we admit

that man is created weak.

That's a perfectly honest problem.

Why don't we face it?

Suppose we believe that man's soul

has not yet reached its fulfillment.

Is it wise...? Is it right to tamper

with the problem...

...until the Creator himself has solved it

in his own mysterious way?

- Sir, I...

- Really, this is very disturbing.

Such theories come dangerously

close to...

I hesitate to think what the medical

council would say...

Dr. Courtland, advanced theories

are always a sore point...

...with the medical council.

Or even with the queen's physician,

if there's a comfortable profit...

...in those already established.

- Jekyll!

If you ask my opinion, young man,

this is pure balderdash.

- Ladies.

- I meant to ask:

Has anyone read that poem

by this new chap Oscar Wilde?

- Getting old, I suppose.

- Well, it's pretty late.

- We ought to...

- No. Come in and have a nightcap, John.

The rest of the company won't be bored.

Well, thank you, sir.

Look.

It's the waltz that he and Mama

first danced together.

May I have this dance, Miss Beatrix?

Pleasure, Dr. Jekyll.

- Bea, darling.

- Harry.

I love you so very much, Bea.

Oh, Harry.

Tonight at dinner, I understood what you

said about the good and evil in people...

...and how it's that way in all of us.

But...

Well, why isn't...?

Why isn't the way you and I

feel about each other?

I mean, there's nothing evil

in that, is there?

- Do you think there is?

- No. No, Harry.

- Bea, we're in love, aren't we?

- Yes, we're very much in love.

That's all the difference.

Oh, my dear, John is looking

for a piece of music...

... The Banks of Loch Lomond,

will you help him find it?

- Yes, Father.

- Thank you.

Harry...

I'm not one to brood, but you must have

noticed my concern in the carriage.

I just thought that...

That flight of fancy you put forth

at dinner, I must confess, it startled me.

Although I'm broad-minded myself,

it was a bit shocking too.

I'm sorry to hear you say that, sir,

because it was not a flight of fancy.

- You mean, you were in earnest?

- Profoundly, sir. As a matter of fact...

...I hope to spend all of my time...

- This is distressing.

Why?

In my opinion,

the whole thing's harebrained.

Well, I'm sorry to hear you

say that, sir. L...

You're a coming man in your profession.

I'm very proud of you.

But these ridiculous experiments

won't get you anywhere.

You must give them up.

Develop your practice...

...cultivate the circle in which

you and Beatrix shall move.

Harry, my boy, I've always wanted
