Martin Miller: Dr. Odenheim
Quotes
-
Dr. Odenheim : Have you time for me, Ari?
Ari Ben Canaan : Always, Dr. Odenheim. What can I do?
Dr. Odenheim : [referring to the shipboard hunger strike] We made a mistake... a bad mistake in letting the children be a part of this. A child's body grows every hour. They need food more than adults. Their blood requires more sugar.
Ari Ben Canaan : What should we do about it?
Dr. Odenheim : When a mistake is made, you admit it... you analyze it, and you correct it.
[starts to look faint]
Ari Ben Canaan : [alarmed] Doctor, don't you feel well?
Dr. Odenheim : Who cares if an old man feels well?
[smiles, turns and leaves]
