Memorable Quotes from Rhys Williams
2 quotesImportance of Optimism in Recovery
Father Chuck O'Malley
Does she know about this.
Dr. McKay
Oh, not yet. It's very important that she doesn't know it. She has a wonderful vitality, a natural optimism, and that's the best medicine anyone can have. If that spirit is dampened, it would... it would have a depressing effect and delay her recovery.
Father Chuck O'Malley
She'll have to know about it. We... we can't just send her away without...
Dr. McKay
Don't you people, uh, more or less, uh, go where you're told without question?

Dai Bando

[angrily, shaking his cane]
Dai Bando

[taking Mr. Jonas' cane]
Mr. Jonas
By its length, of course.
Dai Bando
And how would you measure a man who would use a stick on a boy one-third his size?
Cyfartha
Tell us!
Dai Bando
Now, you are good in the use of a stick, but boxing is my subject... according to the rules laid down by the good Marquis of Queensbury.
Cyfartha
God rest his soul!
[saluting]
Dai Bando
And happy I am to pass on my knowledge to you!
Dai Bando
Position again.
Dai Bando
Could I have your attention, boys and girls? I am not accustomed to speaking in public...
Cyfartha
Only public houses.
Dai Bando
But this - never use. It's against the rules. Break a man's nose. Now then - I'm afraid he will never make a boxer.
[backhands Mr. Jonas in the nose, sending him sprawling; turns to find Mr. Jonas collapsed against the wall, unconscious]
Cyfartha
No aptitude for knowledge.
