Philip Casnoff: Elkanah Bent

Quotes 

• Ashton Main Huntoon : [Bent puts a blindfold over Ashton's eyes]  Oh El, you know I'm afraid of the dark!

  Elkanah Bent : You used to be afraid of me, but I think you've gotten over that.

  Ashton Main Huntoon : What makes you think I've ever been afraid of any man?

• Elkanah Bent : I don't like to be kept waiting. I have little patience where women are concerned.

  Ashton Main Huntoon : Well Mr.Bent, maybe I shouldn't bother, then. Because I like a man with a lot of... patience.

  Elkanah Bent : Well then, considering all your attributes, patience may be a virtue I could make an effort to acquire.
