Dr. Godwin Baxter quotes from Poor Things (2023)

Willem Dafoe
A line from Dr. Godwin Baxter [Having dinner with Max]

[Max responds mono-syllabically non-plussed] I am a eunuch and cannot **** her! To get a sexual response from my body would take the same amount of electricity as runs North London. Besides, my paternal feelings seem to outweigh my sexual thoughts.
