I will not countenance deceit, Lisa, against one of my own flesh and blood. But neither will I countenance any more of Charlotte's nonsense. [to Charlotte] Lisa tells me that your latest peculiarities, your fits of crying, your secretiveness indicate you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Is that what you're trying to achieve?
Charlotte, dear, believe me, I was only trying to help you.
Dr. Jaquith has a sanitarium in Vermont, I believe. Probably one of those places with a high wire fence and yowling inmates.
Dr. Jaquith I wouldn't want anyone to have that notion. Cascade is where people go when they're tired. Like you go to the seashore.
The very word "psychiatry," Dr. Jaquith ... Doesn't it fill you with shame, my daughter, a member of our family?
Dr. Jaquith There's nothing shameful or frightening about it. It's simple what I do. People come to a fork in the road. They don't know which way to go. I put up a signpost: "Not that way. This way."
