• The Specialist : [singing]  He seems to be completely unreceptive. The tests I gave him showed no sense at all!

  [pause] 

  The Specialist : His eyes react to light; the dials detect it. He hears but cannot answer to your call!

  Tommy : [voice over]  See me! Feel me! Touch me! Heal me! See me! Feel me! Touch me! Heal me!

  The Specialist : [singing to Tommy's mother]  There is no chance, no untried operation. All hope lies with him and none with me. Imagine though the shock from isolation, when he suddenly can hear and speak and see!

  Tommy : [voice over]  See me! Feel me! Touch me! Heal me! See me! Feel me! Touch me! Heal me!

  The Specialist : [singing to Tommy's mother]  His eyes can see, his ears can hear, his lips speak. All the time the needles flick and rock. No machine can give the kind of stimulation, Needed to remove his inner block

  Frank Hobbs , Nora Walker Hobbs : I often wonder what he is feeling! Has he ever heard a word I've said? Look at him in the mirror dreaming! What is happening in his head?
