Henry 'Doc' Levy
- Christian Szell: Well, can I trust you?
- Doc: You never could. You only had to.
- Christian Szell: We're talking about my safety.
- Doc: May I be candid?
- Christian Szell: Yes.
- Doc: I couldn't give a fuck about your...
- [he gets stabbed by Szell]
- Doc: [noticing Babe's homework] What's this, more bullshit for your thesis?
- Babe: Those are some interviews about Dad. I'd like you to read it.
- Doc: [dispassionately] Not interested.
- Babe: Why not? I just want you to read it.
- Doc: You're never gonna face it, are you? The old man is dead; he was a drunk, he killed himself.
- Babe: Yeah, Doc, but he didn't start to drink until after the hearings.
- Doc: You gotta be kidding me?
- Babe: No, I got it from his friends. I got it right here.
- Doc: Where were those people when you needed them?
- Babe: They're were afraid like everybody else.
- Doc: You think he wanted you to be throwing your life away on this shit?
- Babe: I don't think I'm throwing it away!
- Doc: You are! Nothing you write is gonna change what happened?
- Babe: Why can't you give me the courtesy to read it?
- Doc: [shouting] It's over! Forget it!
- Babe: [quietly] Maybe for you.
- Doc: I'm supposed to be the best in my business, right? I'm the best, because people think I'm the best. I'm past it, and I know it. And sooner or later, it's going to become common knowledge.
- Doc: Is Helga as morbid as you?
- Babe: I know you're trying to bait me, you bastard. You know her name isn't Helga or Ursula or Irmagard. You know goddamn well - you know what her name is.
- Doc: All right, all right. How about if I take you and Elsa to lunch tomorrow? If you promise not to eat with your fingers.
- Babe: I promise.
- Christian Szell: You'd like to fight, wouldn't you? It will not happen. I'm much too old and far too smart for that, but we must talk truthfully. Are you to be trusted?
- Doc: No.
- Christian Szell: Is that the truth - or are you trying again to upset me?
