Shadows Quote

Roger Collins: What do you want?

Victoria Winters Clark: I think I left a drawing in here.

Roger Collins: It's on the table.

Victoria Winters Clark: Oh, thank you. I think David would kill me if I lost this.

Roger Collins: My son might kill you even if you didn't.

Victoria Winters Clark: It's very good. Have you seen it?

Roger Collins: Yes, I saw it.

Victoria Winters Clark: He's got a real potential in drawing.

Roger Collins: Miss Winters, I am in no mood to discuss David's talents, great or small.

Victoria Winters Clark: I think this is important. We all know how destructive he's been.

Roger Collins: Yes, we know.

Victoria Winters Clark: But this is creative, and something he likes to do.

Roger Collins: I see. And you intend to nurture this sudden urge of creativity?

Victoria Winters Clark: I think it's a way of reaching him, and showing him the world isn't completely hostile.

Roger Collins: What makes you think it isn't? Have you ever thought that David's view might be the correct one?

Victoria Winters Clark: You don't think that.

Roger Collins: Oh, don't I, though? I was once nine years old, as David is. But unlike him, Miss Winters, I was filled with joy and the spirit of living, with love and the promise of a good, full life ahead. Well, maybe it's far better to be nine years old and know how ugly life can be.
