John Merrick
Would you care to see my mother?
Dr. Frederick Treves
[surprised]
Your mother? Yes, please.
Mrs. Treves
[Merrick pulls out a small portrait]
Oh but she's... Mr. Merrick, she's beautiful!
John Merrick
Oh, she had the face of an angel! [sadly] I must have been a great disappointment to her.
Mrs. Treves
No, Mr. Merrick, no! No son as loving as you could ever be a disappointment.
John Merrick
If only I could find her, so she could see me with such lovely friends here now; perhaps she could love me as I am. I've tried so hard to be good.
