A scene from The Master 2012
Lancaster Dodd

[Lancaster and Freddie have been imprisoned in two separate cells, sharing a wall]

Your fear of capture and imprisonment is an implant from millions of years ago. This battle has been with you from before you know. This is not you.

Freddie Quell

SHUT THE **** UP!

Lancaster Dodd

It's not you.

Freddie Quell

SHUT. THE ****. UP!

Lancaster Dodd

It's not you. You are asleep. Your spirit was free. Moving from body, to the next body. Free. Free for a moment. Then it was captured by an invader force, bent on turning you to the darkest way, you've been implanted with a push-pull mechanism that keeps you fearful of authority and destructive. We are in the middle of a battle that's a trillion years in the making and it's bigger than the both of us!

Freddie Quell

You're making this shit up! You make this shit up! You don't know what you're talking about!

Lancaster Dodd

I don't know what I'm talking about?

Freddie Quell

No, you don't.

Lancaster Dodd

I give you facts.

Freddie Quell

You don't give me facts!

Lancaster Dodd

They are not opinions.

Freddie Quell

What facts?! What facts?!

Lancaster Dodd

They are **** facts!

Freddie Quell

What facts?! What facts?!

Lancaster Dodd

**** you!

Freddie Quell

**** you! **** you!

Lancaster Dodd

**** you! **** you! Why don't you kick the bed some more?!

Freddie Quell

**** you!

Lancaster Dodd

**** you, you lazy ass piece of shit!

Freddie Quell

**** you! **** you! I'm not lazy!

Lancaster Dodd

I'm done! You're **** lazy!

Freddie Quell

Oh, you make shit up!

Lancaster Dodd

You're ****in' lazy!

Freddie Quell

Your **** family hates you! Your son hates you!

Lancaster Dodd

Oh, they do?!

Freddie Quell

Yeah! Your son hates you!

Lancaster Dodd

Who **** likes you except for me?!

Freddie Quell

Nobody!

Lancaster Dodd

Except for me!

Freddie Quell

No, you don't **** like me!

Lancaster Dodd

Who likes you except for me?!

Prisoner

[Freddie aggressively kicks the prison cell] [sitting in a cell behind, to Freddie and Lancaster]

Shut up!

Lancaster Dodd

[to Freddie]

Except for me?!

Freddie Quell

[to the prisoner]

You, shut up!

Lancaster Dodd

I'm the only one who likes you.

Freddie Quell

[to the prisoner]

**** you!

Prisoner

**** you!

Freddie Quell

Yeah, **** you, too!

Prisoner

**** you!

Freddie Quell

[to Lancaster]

**** you!

Lancaster Dodd

Just me, Freddie.

Freddie Quell

Just you?!

Lancaster Dodd

I'm the only one that likes you. [pause] The only one. [pause] You're a **** drunk. And I'm done with you. ****...
