Dr. Garth:
I'm a psychiatrist, Professor, not a lawyer. I'd do anything in the world to help you, but what?
Prof. Von Helsing:
You must convince them of my sanity.
Dr. Garth:
If I do that they'll hang you for murder.
Prof. Von Helsing:
You can't murder a man who's been dead for five centuries.
Dr. Garth:
Talking like that won't help.
Prof. Von Helsing:
When you were a student under me in Vienna, Jeffrey, you had a far more open mind.
Dr. Garth:
My mind is just as open as it ever was, Professor, but it's a scientific mind, and there's no place in it for superstition.
Prof. Von Helsing:
Superstition? Who can define the boundary line between the superstition of yesterday and the scientific fact of tomorrow? In the history of your own profession, psychiatry, a century ago, hypnosis was looked upon as black magic. Today it is accepted as commonplace, even used in anesthesia. What would have happened to a man a hundred years ago who advanced the present-day theories of the subconscious?
Dr. Garth:
Oh, I know, I know.
Prof. Von Helsing:
Do you, as an intelligent scientist, dare to dismiss as superstition the principles underlying Tibetan magic, voodooism, thought transference?
Dr. Garth:
No.
Prof. Von Helsing:
Well, there you are.
