The Elephant Man Quote

John Merrick : [ after seeing pictures of Dr. Treves' family ] Would you care to see my mother?
Dr. Frederick Treves : [ surprised ] Your mother? Yes please. [ John pulls out a small portrait ]
Mrs. Treves : Oh but she's... Mr. Merrick, she's beautiful!
John Merrick : Oh, she had the face of an angel! [ sadly ]
John Merrick : I must have been a great disappointment to her.
Mrs. Treves : No, Mr. Merrick, no. No son as loving as you could ever be a disappointment.
John Merrick : If only I could find her, so she could see me with such lovely friends here now; perhaps she could love me as I am. I've tried so hard to be good. [ Mrs. Treves begins to cry ]
