Dr. Daniel P. Schreber Forgive me, Inspector, but you are not a clinician. Judging personalities happens to be my business.
Well, maybe you could give me a few pointers.
Dr. Daniel P. Schreber Certainly. Let's take you, for instance. You are a fastidious man, driven. Consumed by details. I would say your life is rather lonely.
Dr. Daniel P. Schreber I have a weak heart, you know.
Your weakness is not, we think, an affair of the heart.
