Batman Begins Quote

Dr. Jonathan Crane : [ after being called down to Arkham by Rachel. She is observing Falcone, who is muttering "scarecrow" over and over ] Miss Dawes, this is most irregular. I have nothing further to add to the report I filed with the judge.
Rachel Dawes : I have questions about your report.
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Such as?
Rachel Dawes : Isn't it convenient for a 52 year old man who has no history of mental illness to suddenly have a complete psychotic breakdown, just when he's about to be indicted?
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Well, as you can see for yourself, there is nothing "convenient" about his symptoms. [ They look at Falcone, still muttering "Scarecrow" ]
Rachel Dawes : What's "scarecrow"?
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Patients suffering delusional episodes often focus their paranoia on an external tormentor. Usually one conforming to Jungian archetypes. In this case, a scarecrow. [ pause ]
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Outside, he was a giant. In here, only the mind can grant you power.
Rachel Dawes : You enjoy the reversal?
Dr. Jonathan Crane : I respect the mind's power over the body. It's why I do what I do.
