Dr. Herder
- Dr. Herder: He can't forget being rejected by his mother and father at the age of 11. They sent him away, alone, into a primitive community of licensed bullies and pederasts.
- Sir Charles: You mean he went to public school.
- Dr. Herder: Exactly.
- Dr. Herder: His lordship is a paranoid schizophrenic.
- Sir Charles: Paranoid schizophrenic? But he's a Gurney!
- Dr. Herder: Then he's a paranoid schizophrenic Gurney who believes he's God.
- Sir Charles: But we've always been Church of England!
- Sir Charles: What about Jack?
- Dr. Herder: Remember he's suffering from delusions of grandeur. In reality he's an earl, an English aristocrat, a member of the ruling class. Naturally, he's come to believe there's only one person grander than that: the Lord God Almighty Himself.
- Sir Charles: Are you English?
- Dr. Herder: No.
- Sir Charles: [slowly] Ah.
- Lady Claire Gurney: That's very clever, but ah is it true?
- Dr. Herder: Don't come to me for the truth only explanation.
- Lady Claire Gurney: Why does he keep on about love?
- Dr. Herder: Because he wants us all to love goodness. To love goodness is to love God. To love God is to love the 14th Earl of Gurney.
- Lady Claire Gurney: Doctor, how are my questions revealing?
- Dr. Herder: The first one you asked me was about love.
- Lady Claire Gurney: If I press a button, you'll feel fear? Love?
- Dr. Herder: Love? No. Desire. Yes.
- Lady Claire Gurney: What, by pressing a little button?
- Tucker: Why can't you look at my back?
- Dr. Herder: I keep telling you, I'm a psychiatrist.
- Tucker: It's just because I'm on the national health, isn't it? Damn money-grubbers! You and your "hypocrite's" oath.
- Dr. Herder: What does that look like? Is it a dragon? A spider? What does it remind you of?
- Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: God.
- Dr. Herder: And this?
- Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: God. Everything that is or ever shall be reminds me of me.
- Dr. Herder: Yes. He's made a spectacular breakthrough. We're in the process of making a new man.
- Lady Claire Gurney: I'm always on the lookout for new men.
- Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: You were fornicating lovers! Sperm dancers!
- Dr. Herder: It's a lie! Lady Claire meant nothing to me.
- Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: Cock-a-doodle-doo!
