Dean Harcourt:
I imagine we come here for the same purpose... to look off into eternity.
Dr. Newell Paige:
I don't think I'm very much concerned with eternity. My job's with the present.
Dean Harcourt:
The present troubles you?
Dr. Newell Paige:
Yes, a little. One has ideals... Troublesome things, ideals. They get in the way of logic, fair thinking. Eternity?
[He shakes his head]
Dr. Newell Paige:
After all, the patient feels just as much pain today even though tomorrow he thinks he may be sitting on the edge of a cloud, strumming a harp.
Dean Harcourt:
And you're concerned with curing today's pain so the patient won't... uh... join the Heavenly Host.
Dr. Newell Paige:
Right.
Dean Harcourt:
Narurally as a physician you believe that...
Dr. Newell Paige:
[Interrupting]
How did you know I'm a physician?
Dean Harcourt:
You just told me.
Dr. Newell Paige:
[laughs to himself]
Right.
Dean Harcourt:
Tou know, you and I are in the same sort of business. If I concern myself more with eternity, it's because my job is with the soul, rather than with the body.
Dr. Newell Paige:
Preacher?
Dean Harcourt:
I much prefer to be known as a teacher.
