A scene from Bringing Up Baby 1938
Dr. Lehman

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

Susan

Oh! Crazy people.

Dr. Lehman

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...

Dr. Lehman

Follows her around...

Susan

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

Dr. Lehman

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.

Dr. Lehman

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

Susan

The love impulse!

Dr. Lehman

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