John MerrickI must have been a great disappointment to her.
Mrs. TrevesNo, Mr. Merrick, no. No son as loving as you could ever be a disappointment.
John MerrickIf 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. TrevesI'm very pleased to meet you, Mr. Merrick.
MothersheadSir! I don't quite... I don't quite understand why it is you allow that sort of people in there.
Dr. Frederick TrevesWhy? Because he enjoys it, and I think it's very good for him.
MothersheadYes, but, sir, you saw the expression on their faces. They didn't hide their disgust. They don't care anything about John! They only want to impress their friends!
Dr. Frederick TrevesI think you're being rather harsh on them, don't you, Mrs. Mothershead?
MothersheadI beg your pardon!
Dr. Frederick TrevesYou yourself hardly showed him much loving kindness when he first arrived, did you?
MothersheadI bathed him, I fed him, and I cleaned up after him, didn't I? And I see that my nurses do the same. And if loving kindness can be called care and practical concern, then I did show him loving kindness, and I am not ashamed to admit it!
BytesYou wanted the freak, to show to those doctor chums of yours to make a name for yourself. You my friend, I gave you the freak, on trust, in the name of science, and now I want him back!
Carr Gomm[Speaking to Bytes]Go to the authorities then. Go to them by all means. I'm sure they would be very interested to hear your story as well as ours
Dr. Frederick Treves[Speaking to Bytes]Now, I really do think we understand one another. Hm?

BytesLife!... is full of surprises. Consider the fate of this creature's poor mother, struck down in the fourth month of her maternal condition by an elephant, a wild elephant. Struck down!... on an uncharted African isle. The result is plain to see... Ladies and gentlemen... The terrible... Elephant... Man...

Dr. Frederick TrevesBecause of the extensive area covered by papillomatus growths, the patient has been called "The Elephant Man".

John MerrickThe Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me...
[he continues alone in the room]
Carr Gomm[outside of the room]It was a brave attempt, Treves, but the man was obviously simply mouthing words taught by you.
Carr GommHe simply doesn't belong here. He'd be much better off somewhere else where he can be constantly looked after. I'm sorry, Treves, that things have turned out this way. Good day to you.
John MerrickYea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff...
