A scene from Halloween 1978
Loomis

He hasn't spoken a word in 15 years.

Nurse

Are there any special instructions?

Loomis

Just try and understand what we're dealing with here. Don't underestimate it.

Nurse

Don't you think we could refer to it as him?

Loomis

If you say so.

Nurse

Your compassion's overwhelming, doctor. You're serious about it, aren't you?

Loomis

Yeah.

Nurse

You mean you actually never want him to get out?

Loomis

Never, ever. Never.

Nurse

Then why are we taking him up to Hardin County if you're just gonna lock...

Loomis

Because that is the law.
