A scene from The Good Son 1993
Alice

Susan told me you were here. I guess you forgot our appointment.

Mark

I just didn't feel like talking.

Alice

Talking helps. It helped the last time, didn't it?

Mark

You're a doctor. You know things.

Alice

Well, some things.

Mark

What do you think? What makes people evil?

Alice

"Evil" is a word people use when they've given up trying to understand someone. There's a reason for everything if we can just find it.

Mark

What if there isn't a reason? What if something just is?

Alice

Why, Mark? Do you think you're evil? Cos you let your mother die? You know that's not true.

Mark

What if there was this boy? And he did these terrible things because he liked doing them? Wouldn't you say he was evil?

Alice

I don't believe in evil.

Mark

You should.
