Dr. Rivers
- Dr. Rivers: Why not?
- Siegfried Sassoon: Too afraid, too inhibited. Shamed by an inner corruption. Or perhaps it's simply because of... What's the phrase? "The love that dare not speak its name."
- Dr. Rivers: You are not alone in that respect.
- Siegfried Sassoon: Pain is not the only terror. There are many more.
- Dr. Rivers: Can you name them?
- Siegfried Sassoon: If I could name them, they would cease to be terrors.
- Dr. Rivers: I've always thought that politicians were too stupid to be subtle.
- Siegfried Sassoon: Perhaps they're just too subtle to be inelegant.
- Siegfried Sassoon: Why do all the worst terrors come at night?
- Dr. Rivers: The night is, I think, like the unconscious. Waiting all day so that it can steal over you in the dark.
- Dr. Rivers: I trust after this disclosure, you will be discreet.
- Siegfried Sassoon: Discretion is my middle name.
- Dr. Rivers: What about your poetry?
- Siegfried Sassoon: It's egotism, really.
- Dr. Rivers: That seems a little harsh.
- Siegfried Sassoon: Truth often is.
