Sir! I don't quite... I don't quite understand why it is you allow that sort of people in there.

Dr. Frederick Treves

Why? Because he enjoys it, and I think it's very good for him.

Yes, but, sir, you saw the expression on their faces. They didn't hide their disgust. They don't care anything about John! They only want to impress their friends!

Dr. Frederick Treves

I think you're being rather harsh on them, don't you, Mrs. Mothershead?

I beg your pardon!

Dr. Frederick Treves

You yourself hardly showed him much loving kindness when he first arrived, did you?

I bathed him, I fed him, and I cleaned up after him, didn't I? And I see that my nurses do the same. And if loving kindness can be called care and practical concern, then I did show him loving kindness, and I am not ashamed to admit it!

Dr. Frederick Treves

I didn't mean it exactly that way, Mrs. Mothershead. Now please believe me. Of course I appreciate your concern. I appreciate everything you've done for Mr. Merrick.

Thank you.

Dr. Frederick Treves

But I am the physician in charge--

I appreciate tha--

Dr. Frederick Treves

And I must do what I think is best for him!

If you ask for my opinion, he's only being stared at all over again!
