"Well, let me kill just one, then." "Whichever one you want." "All right." "I'll wait." "But the minute you say kill them, I'll kill them." "I'd love to kill them." "It would give me immense pleasure." "THORNDYKE:" "And so, in conclusion let me reiterate that there are no rules." "That each patient is a supreme individual endowed with those qualities that distinguish the human being from the slime from which he emerged." "Thank you." "THORNDYKE:" "Yes, Dr. Colburn." "COLBURN:" "May I ask you a question?" "THORNDYKE:" "Certainly." "Dr. Thorndyke, you mentioned in your address that penis envy should be deemed an antiquated psychiatric concept." "Could you expand on that?" "THORNDYKE:" "Of course." "Let's remember that the term "penis envy" was created in a predominantly male atmosphere..." "MAN:" "Excuse me." "Sorry I'm late." "Forgive me for bringing the kids." "I couldn't get a sitter." "THORNDYKE:" "Please, have a seat." "As I was saying, in a world of predominantly male-oriented psychology it was only natural to arrive at the term, pee..." "Pee..." ""Peepee envy. "" "Are you saying there's absolutely no validity to peepee envy?" "It has no more validity than if a man envied a woman's balloons." "Dr. Thorndyke, do you feel that the trauma of toilet training has a bearing on the sexual future of the adolescent?" "Toilet training." "That's a vast area." "Let's be more specific." "Are we talking about number one or cocky-doody?" "For argument's sake, let's say cocky-doody." "THORNDYKE:" "I'd say professionally, cocky-doody has very little to do with the future sexual development of the adolescent." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Let me backtrack for a second." "The female erogenous zone." "You mean the balloons?" "No." "Lower, much lower." "Where the babies come out." "The woowoo." "The woowoo?" "THORNDYKE:" "Yes." "The woowoo." "Perhaps the most significant psychological feminine component known to mankind." "(Cheers and whistles)" "(Soft cocktail music)" "Here we are." "A BB and BBB." "Thank you." "Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke." "What does the "H" stand for?" "(Thorndyke mumbles)" "What?" "Harpo." "My mother loved the Marx Brothers." "She saw all their movies." "She named me Harpo." "Harpo?" "I like it." "It's very refreshing." "There are certain names that you just don't hear very often these days." "Anyway, here is to Daddy's recovery." "To Daddy's recovery." "Feeling better?" "Dr." "Thorndyke." "You'll never know how wonderful you've made me feel by allowing me to visit my father." "I can't believe it." "I'm actually going to see him." "Miss Brisbane, I must warn you." "You may be in for quite a shock." "I don't care." "I just know that if I can see him and speak with him that everything will be all right." "Hey, it's song time here at the piano bar." "That means I lay back and let you come forward and sing a few songs." "How about you, sir?" "How about you, ma'am?" "No?" "How about you, Doc?" "How about giving us a tune?" "THORNDYKE:" "Me?" "PLA YER:" "Yes." "I don't sing." "No." "I really don't sing." "Not professionally, anyway." "MAN 1:" "Come on, Doc." "Give us a song." "MAN 2:" "We'd love it." "MAN 3:" "Come on." "You can do it." "Go ahead." "It'll be fun." "All right." "Do you know High Anxiety?" "You got it." "Is B flat okay?" "B flat?" "PLA YER:" "The key." "THORNDYKE:" "The key." "That's fine, sure." "I guess so." "Sing in here?" "Okay." "Anytime." "(Piano music begins)" "(Sings) "High anxiety" ""Whenever you're near" ""High anxiety" ""It's you that I fear" ""My heart's afraid to fly" ""It's crashed before" ""But then you take my hand" ""My heart starts to soar" ""Once more" ""High anxiety" ""It's always the same" ""It's you that I blame" ""It's very clear to me" ""I've got to give in" ""High anxiety" ""You win"" "Hiya, Tex." "Where are you from?" "Cincinnati." "Great town." "Love that big, red machine." "Ease up on the linguine." "(Audience chuckle)" "Hello, young lovers, whoever you are..." "What do I spy?" "A little grain of rice." "Newly married?" "This morning." "This morning, folks." "And they said it wouldn't last." "(Audience chuckle)" "THORNDYKE: "But then you take my hand" ""My heart starts to soar" ""Once more"" "Key change. "High anxiety" ""It's always the same" ""It's you that I blame" ""It's very clear to me" ""I've got to give in" ""High anxiety"" "And remember, folks." "Be good to your parents, they've been good to you." ""You win"" "(Thorndyke sighs)" "Jeepers, Richard, that was terrific." "Thank you." "I am so impressed." "Ever thought of singing professionally?" "No." "The big bucks are in psychiatry." "lt's so much more emotionally rewarding." "Exactly." "To help people." "Exactly." "Would you excuse me for a moment?" "I'll be right back." "I just have to go to the little girls' room." "Of course." "THORNDYKE:" "Let me get this." "VICTORIA:" "Sorry." "THORNDYKE:" "Here you go." "VICTORIA:" "Thank you." "Forgive me for prying, but who is this gentleman?" "What are you talking about?" "That's Daddy." "Are you trying to tell me that this man is Arthur Brisbane, your father?" "Of course." "This is not the man I met at the Institute." "Something is very, very wrong." "MONTAGUE:" "What are we going to do?" "This is serious." "He knows." "He's seen the picture." "He knows that's not the real Brisbane we showed him." "More coffee, please." "Charlotte, what will we do?" "We'll have to kill him." "We'll have to let him kill him." "That's all we need now." "Another killing." "Give me a cookie." "First Ashley, then Wentworth." "We can't kill Thorndyke without the police suspecting something." "MONTAGUE:" "Pass me the cream, please." "What are we going to do?" "Supposing he goes to the police?" "I've thought of that." "He won't go to the police if he can't go to the police." "MONTAGUE:" "I don't understand." "Sugar, please." "What do you mean if he can't go to the police?" "Why can't he?" "Because the police will be looking for him." "Why would the police be looking for him?" "Because Thorndyke is going to kill somebody." "DIESEL:" "Here." "Finish your strudel." "Here are the keys." "Weren't you supposed to check out tomorrow?" "I don't know." "Early this morning, the doc called." "Said we have to get back to the Institute." "This joint is really luxurious." "I have to take a few shots." "Do you mind?" "Not at all." "You got some joint, here." "Let me take it now." "I like this joint." "It's beautiful." "It's terrific." "It's gorgeous." "That's beautiful." "The elevators." "Good." "Dr. Thorndyke." "Dr. Thorndyke." "I hear you're leaving." "What about the seminar this afternoon?" "(Screaming)" "(Fast-paced dramatic instrumental music)" "(Elevator dings)" "Dr. Thorndyke?" "Yes?" "Here's a little present for you." "(Dramatic instrumental music)" "What is this?" "Who are you?" "(Sinister cackle)" "Why are you..." "Wait!" "Who are you?" "What does this mean?" "What does this mean?" "(Woman screams)" "That's the man!" "That's the man who shot him!" "No, wait." "You don't understand." "This is not my gun." "Oh, my God." "The man is dead." "I didn't..." "He shot him, I'm sure." "He took off a mask." "He took off my face." "This was given to me by somebody who looked just like me." "This is me!" "This is me's gun, not mine." "Gentlemen, don't go for your guns." "I'm a psychiatrist." "I can help you." "We can discuss this." "We're rational..." "Doc!" "Why did you do it?" "Why did you do it?" "No, I'm all right." "I'm just fine." "I'm at the Golden Gate Park." "Meet me in a half hour at the North by Northwest corner." "Yes." "Good." "(Pigeons cooing)" "(Whistling a tune)" "(Panting)" "(Murmuring disapproval)" "(Gasping)" "Richard, the world has gone crazy." "Nothing makes any sense anymore." "I don't know what to believe or not to believe." "My life is just all topsy-turvy." "One minute you're singing love songs." "The next minute you're pumping bullets into an innocent man." "Then it is not you." "It is the other Thorndyke." "How much more can a girl take?" "My nerves are cracking." "I feel like I'm going to die." "I think I am going to explode!" "THORNDYKE:" "Vicky!" "Take it easy, darling." "I'm sorry." "Forgive me." "I'm just so close to my menstrual cycle that I could scream." "(Growls loudly)" "Vicky, please." "We've got to think." "The only way out is to prove I didn't commit that murder." "Well, how?" "Would you look at today's paper?" "Now that is you pulling the trigger." "That is nobody but you." "THORNDYKE:" "Who took this picture?" "How did they get it?" "Brophy." "My buddy, Brophy." "Wait a minute!" "I was coming down in the elevator at the time of the shooting." "Here is the elevator." "Here is me." "THORNDYKE:" "See that dot?" "VICTORIA:" "But that figure is so tiny." "It's unrecognizable." "Brophy has the negative." "You've got to contact Brophy." "Have him blow up this negative and prove that's me in the elevator." "No, he left this morning." "He's probably back at the Institute by now." "How can you get excited at a time like this?" "Don't get me wrong." "It's not that I'm not titillated." "We've got to separate." "Gosh, you're fickle." "We can't stay together." "We can't be seen." "Listen, go back to your hotel room." "Call Brophy." "Get him to blow up that negative." "I'll call you later." "(Buzzing)" "BROPHY:" "Yeah." "It's coming." "Holy Toledo, you're right!" "There is a figure in the elevator." "I think it's the doc." "This has to be much, much bigger." "I have to keep enlarging it until we can clearly see the doc's face." "Call me in an hour." "(Slow dramatic instrumental music)" "BROPHY:" "That's the doc." "DIESEL:" "Good work." "Very good work, Brophy." "Unfortunately, it will never be seen." "We've got to destroy the negative." "Give us the negative, Brophy." "You'll never get it." "Never, do you hear me?" "You'll never get this." "I'd rather die first." "MONTAGUE:" "Norton?" "Here." "You fool." "That negative has been on the front page of every newspaper in San Francisco." "They can enlarge it as well." "You're right." "I never thought of that." "We've got to think." "I've got it!" "We have to buy every single newspaper in San Francisco." "We'll need about $10,000 worth of change." "The first thing I want you to do is get a truck." "A big truck." "Then you go around to all the newspaper..." "All the stands." "You put the paper..." "Perhaps it's not a good idea." "lt sucks." "Norton, take our good friend Mr. Brophy, here to the North Wing." "You see, darling it's not the negative that has to be destroyed, it's Dr. Richard Thorndyke." "I think we'd better call our friend in San Francisco with the tin teeth." "I get so hot when you're bad." "(Montague groans)" "(Electronic beeping)" "Excuse me." "(Telephone rings)" "Diesel, here." "OPERATOR:" "I have a collect call from San Francisco." "Yes, I'll accept the charges." "Hello, it's me." "What do you want?" "Hello, Braces?" "I have a little present for you." "You may kill Thorndyke." "Thank you." "I really appreciate this." "I really do." "Thank you." "(Breathing heavily)" "Life is good." "(Suspenseful instrumental music)" "(Telephone rings)" "(Gasps)" "Hello?" "(Heaving breathing on phone)" "Listen, mister." "I don't go for this sort of thing." "(Gasping on phone)" "I know a lot of the other girls are turned on by these kinky phone calls, but I couldn't care less." "How did you get my room number?" "(Groaning on phone)" "I am not going to listen to any more of this." "I've had just about enough... (Groaning continues)" "What are you wearing?" "Jee..." "Jeans?" "You're wearing jeans?" "I bet they're tight." "Oh, my God." "(Breathing heavily)" "(Groaning)" "You are an animal." "Vicky." "Victoria." "It's me, Richard." "Richard." "I knew it was you all the time." "I just went along with it." "(High-pitched laughter)" "I laughed." "Did you laugh?" "Victoria, I just killed a man." "Another one?" "Listen, Richard, you've got to get a grip on yourself." "THORNDYKE:" "You don't understand." "I killed the man who killed the man in the lobby." "Never mind." "Did you reach Brophy?" "I did and he said there was a figure in the elevator and that it might be you and he was enlarging it until he was certain." "Then I waited for one hour and called back." "And?" "VICTORIA:" "And they said that he wasn't there." "Oh, my God, they know." "They know everything." "They've got Brophy." "They've got the picture." "What are we going to do?" "How can we prove you're innocent?" "We have to get back to the Institute and find your father." "We must expose Diesel and Montague for what they are." "VICTORIA:" "How'll we leave town?" "The police are absolutely all over the place." "Go to the Salvation Army." "The Salvation Army?" "Are they good at this sort of thing?" "No!" "Go to the Salvation Army and get..." "VICTORIA:" "Richard." "Wait a minute." "THORNDYKE:" "What is it?" "VICTORIA:" "I can't go through with this." "I'm sorry, I just..." "Look at this clothing." "What makes you think we're actually going to sneak by?" "Victoria, if we do it just the way we rehearsed it, it will work." "Remember, we're not sneaking by." "We have to be loud and annoying." "If you're loud and annoying, psychologically, people don't notice you." "Come on." "We can do it." "Loud and annoying." "VICTORIA: (ln Russian accent) I can't carry this no more." "(ln Russian accent) Celery?" "You had to buy in San Francisco?" "You can't get it by the market near our house?" "Excuse me, I bought the celery in case on the plane they wanted to serve you a Bloody Mary." "A Bloody Mary?" "Well, I don't like the Bloody Mary they serve on the plane." "No, sir." "It's too burning." "They don't even put tomato juice, they put snappy peppy." "Murray Weintraub, remember him?" "Morning, noon and night he drank the Bloody Marys with the peppy snappy." "You know where he is now?" "Dead from that." "Murray Weintraub is not dead." "Murray Weintraub is alive." "No!" "VICTORIA:" "Morris Turtletaub you're talking about." "The one from Great Neck who walks sideways like this." "(Muttering nonsensically)" "No, sir." "Morris Turtletaub didn't walk like that." "Morris Turtletaub, to my memory, walked just like this." "(Muttering nonsensically)" "A little irregular." "THORNDYKE:" "Couldn't help himself." "Come on, let's get out of here." "VICTORIA:" "Slowly." "THORNDYKE:" "Don't push!" "VICTORIA:" "Come on." "THORNDYKE:" "Don't push." "Sir, will you please put your bags up here?" "What?" "Please put you bags right up here." "What do you need it for?" "We have to X-ray them, sir." "You have to X-ray?" "Here." "You want to X-ray the celery?" "You think we're smuggling dope in here?" "Celery is not for dope it's for dip." "Sir, others are waiting." "All right, go ahead." "You go." "I can't." "I'm scared." "For God's sake, go through already." "Wait a minute." "Is this one of those blowers that blows up the skirt, gives a free show?" "THORNDYKE:" "Take a chance, go through." "Don't make trouble at the airport." "(Victoria whimpering)" "VICTORIA:" "Okay, come on, Sam." "THORNDYKE:" "All right." "Here I go, folks." "VICTORIA:" "Sam!" "(Victoria makes high-pitched whining sound)" "What?" "(Victoria whines)" "Well here I go." "(Electronic beeping)" "Is this a game show?" "What did I win, a Pinto?" "MAN:" "We have to search you." "Please, sir." "What did I do?" "What's my crime?" "You beeped." "I beeped!" "Take me away." "Take me back to Russia." "Put me in irons." "I beeped!" "The mad beeper is loose." "Take away the beeper." "Put me away." "POLICEMAN:" "It's all right." "Please, just go." "Thank you." "Richard, you were absolutely brilliant." "You were wonderful yourself." "Come on."

"Professor, we thought you were dead." "I sleep that way." "It scares the hell out of everyone." "Professor, have you seen my father?" "Your father?" "Who are you?" "Forgive me." "This is Victoria Brisbane." "Her father is Arthur Brisbane." "This is the cocker's daughter?" "Yes." "How do you do?" "I'm sorry for you." "Professor, please, Brophy." "We are looking for Brophy." "It's important that we find him." "Brophy." "I'm sorry to have to tell you, but Brophy was taken to the North Wing." "What?" "According to Montague, the poor chap had a mental breakdown." "Mental breakdown?" "Yeah." "Brophy is not smart enough to have a mental breakdown." "The North Wing." "Come on, we have to go." "I go with you, perhaps I can help." "THORNDYKE:" "Come on, hurry." "(Suspenseful instrumental music)" "THORNDYKE:" "Brophy, have you seen Brisbane?" "Where is Brisbane?" "I'm sorry." "Where is he?" "They took him to... (Shrieking)" "Norton's taking him up to the tower." "Oh, my God!" "BROPHY:" "He's drugged." "They're going to throw him off, like a suicide." "VICTORIA:" "Dad." "THORNDYKE:" "Come on, let's go." "(Dramatic instrumental music)" "LILLOMAN:" "There!" "Look!" "VICTORIA:" "Daddy." "Richard." "Do something." "I'll try." "(Lightning crackles)" "(Thorndyke sighs)" "I can't." "What is it?"

"(Panting)" "I can't go on." "BROPHY:" "I got him!" "I ain't got him." "LILLOMAN:" "Where can we go?" "What can we do?" "I've got to save him." "No." "He'll kill you." "I'm going to go up."
