Sample dialogue
Good God man, you prattle like an imbecile. She is gone! I am a man of science. I just need to engage in and continue the project. That is all. I must go onto the next thing. Our feelings must be set aside. Do you think my father could have branded me with hot irons on the genitals the way he did, if he could not put science and progress first?
scene 76 — INT LONDON MEDICAL SCHOOL - DAYI am... um...
scene 15 — INT BELLA’S BEDROOM - NIGHTAfraid so my darling.
scene 15 — INT BELLA’S BEDROOM - NIGHTI am a eunuch and can’t fuck her. To get a sexual response from my body would take the same amount of electricity as runs North London. Besides my paternal feelings seem to outweigh my sexual thoughts.
scene 39 — INT BAXTER’S HOUSE DINING ROOMI made a mistake with Bella. I allowed feelings to develop. But there are none for her, she is no different to the chicken dog. It is better this way perhaps, and gives some insight to my father’s coolness to me. It was a necessity of science.
scene 122 — INT BAXTER’S STAIRWAY - DAY
