Spellbound (1945)

Reading about LOVE is one thing. When experiencing LOVE is another.


After they met for the 1st time:


Dr. Edwardes (man)- Something has happened to us.
Dr. Petersen (woman)- But it doesn't happen like that, in a day.
Dr. Edwardes - It happens in a moment sometimes. I felt it this afternoon. It was like lightning striking. It strikes rarely.
Dr. Petersen - I don't understand how it happened.


She went after him:


Dr. Petersen - "Take care of you, cure you, and remain with you till that happens"
Dr. Edwardes - "But you can't, you can't help hide a criminal. You're going to jeopardize your standing as a doctor. You're just getting started. I won't let you be stupid about it"
Dr. Petersen - "I couldn't bear it away from you. I went through yesterday holding my breath as if I were being hunted-- I couldn't eat or work or do anything but think of you. So I had to come. I'm here as your doctor only. It has nothing to do with love"
Dr. Petersen - Nothing at all.
Dr. Petersen - Nothing at all. 


*The mind of a woman in love is operating on the lowest level of the intellect.
