Dark Victory movie plot
-
Dr. Frederick Steele: [to Judith as he tries to get her to open up about her health problems] That's why you held certain things back from Dr. Parsons: you're afraid to admit them. And that's why you didn't tell him you've been having these headaches for months, but you have; and lately they've been getting worse until now you're never free of them. And your eyes; they've been cutting out too - just like somebody shutting a pair of folding doors, until your vision is almost cut in half. You pretended it was your imagination, but it isn't. Then that queer doe feeling in your right arm - you can't laugh that off. And I'll tell you how you got those burns on your fingers - cigarette. You didn't feel the burns because your sensory nerves are paralyzed. Your memory's all shot to pieces, you can't concentrate - look at your Bridge scores. And you're irritable because your nerves are all on edge. You won't admit it, but you can't deny it, can you?
[she reluctantly nods/shakes her head]
Dr. Frederick Steele: Now I think we'll get somewhere. Come on, come on.

Judith: When you get inside my head, see if you can find any sense in it.
