Dr. Fritz Lehman quotes from Bringing Up Baby (1938)

You may have heard me lecture... I usually talk about nervous disorders. I am a psychiatrist.

Susan

Oh! Crazy people.

We dislike the use of that word. All people who behave strangely are not insane...

Susan

What would you say about a man who follows a girl around...

Follows her around...

Susan

And then when she talks to him he fights with her?

Fights with you... Is the young man your fiancee?

Susan

Oh no, I don't know him. I never even saw him before today. [Blithely] No, he just follows me around and fights with me.

Well, the love impulse in men very frequently reveals itself in terms of conflict.

Susan

The love impulse!

Without my knowing anything about it, my rough guess would be that he has a fixation on you.

Susan

You don't seem to understand that there's a million dollars at stake.

A million dollars?

Susan

Yes.

Well, you will get it. I have it right in there. All in one dollar bills.
