The Invisible Man - Discussion of Monocane and Its Implications
Dr. Cranley:
Here's something, Kemp.
Dr. Kemp:
What is it? Bad news?
Dr. Cranley:
It's only a rough note. A list of chemicals. And the last on the list is monocane.
Dr. Kemp:
Monocane? What is monocane?
Dr. Cranley:
Monocane's a terrible drug.
Dr. Kemp:
I never heard of it.
Dr. Cranley:
You wouldn't, Kemp. It's never used now. I didn't know it was even made. It's a drug that's made from a flower that's grown in India. It draws colour from everything it touches. Years ago, they tried it for bleaching cloth. They gave it up because it destroyed the material.
Dr. Kemp:
That doesn't sound very terrible.
Dr. Cranley:
I know, but it does something else. It was tried out on some poor animal. A dog, I believe. It was injected under the skin, and it turned the dog dead white, like a marble statue.
Dr. Kemp:
Is that so?
Dr. Cranley:
Yes, and it also sent it raving mad.
Dr. Kemp:
You surely don't think...?
Dr. Cranley:
I only pray to God that Griffin hasn't been meddling with this ghastly stuff.
Dr. Kemp:
He'd never touch a thing with madness!
Dr. Cranley:
He might not know. I found that experiment in an old German book just by chance. The English books only describe the bleaching power.

The Invisible Man - The Challenge of Catching an Invisible Man
Constable Jaffers:
He's invisible, that's what's the matter with him. If he gets the rest of them clothes off, we'll never catch him in a thousand years.
Dr. Cranley:
I think we must tell the police that Griffin has disappeared.

It's a Wonderful Life - The Consequences of Choices in Life
Clarence:
Your brother, Harry Bailey, broke through the ice and was drowned at the age of nine.
George:
That's a lie! Harry Bailey went to war! He got the Congressional Medal of Honor! He saved the lives of every man on that transport.
Clarence:
Every man on that transport died! Harry wasn't there to save them, because you weren't there to save Harry. You see, George, you've really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away?

It's a Wonderful Life - A Conversation About Identity and Purpose
George:
Look, who are you?
Clarence:
I told you, George. I'm your guardian angel.
George:
Yeah, yeah, I know. You told me that. What else are you? What...are you a hypnotist?
Clarence:
No, of course not.
George:
Well, then, why am I seeing all these strange things?
Clarence:
Don't you understand, George? It's because you were not born.
George:
Then if I wasn't born, who am I?
Clarence:
You're nobody. You have no identity.
George:
What do you mean, no identity? My name's George Bailey.
Clarence:
There is no George Bailey. You have no papers, no cards, no driver's license, no 4-F card, no insurance policy...They're not there, either.
George:
What?
Clarence:
Zuzu's petals. You've been given a great gift, George. A chance to see what the world would be like without you.

It's a Wonderful Life - Earning Wings Through Helping Others
George:
Well, you look about the kind of angel I'd get. Sort of a fallen angel, aren't you? What happened to your wings?
Clarence:
I haven't won my wings, yet. That's why I'm called an Angel Second Class. I have to earn them. And you'll help me will you?
George:
Sure, sure. How?
Clarence:
By letting me help you.
George:
I know one way you can help me. You don't happen to have 8,000 bucks on you?
Clarence:
No, we don't use money in Heaven.
George:
Well, it comes in real handy down here, bud!
