Rose: Really, Dr. Van Hyde—
Dr. Van Hyde: I—I do not know what to say.
Rose: I repeat—you have played your part admirably.
Dr. Van Hyde: How can you accuse me of playing a part?

Dr. Van Hyde: To meet you—to learn to know you.
Rose: Of course. Meanwhile, by way of illustrating my mania, you made love to me.
Dr. Van Hyde: That is—
Rose: That is—you played a part. And you were so successful that, a few minutes ago, you thought I had fallen in love with you.
