Blame and Manipulation in The Brain

Dr. Anthony Blakely: [watching The Brain eat a nurse] That's food for thought!
Jim Majelewski: [after killing Dr. Anthony Blakely] Look at this thing! It wasn't even human! Dr. Blake was trying to take over by controlling your minds through television. He's the one who was responsible for all those murders! I never killed anyone! I'm just a high school student! He tried to use me, just like he tried to use all of you. Everyone, please, look at the TV monitor. Because you know that's the truth! Please, look at the TV monitor! He tried to use me, just like he tried to use all of you! The truth is that it was him, not me! Dr. Blake commited all those murders, not Jim Majelewski!
