Quotes 

• Frank Strang : [Talking to Dr. Dysart]  Religon! Its our only real problem in this house, but, it is insuperable.

  Dora Strang : [Enters]  You must excuse my husband! Doctor, this one subject is something of an obsession with him. Isn't it dear, you must admit?

  Frank Strang : Call it what you like, all it is to me is just bad sex!

• Martin Dysart : Mr. Strang, exactly how informed would you judge your son to be about sex?

  Frank Strang : I don't know.

  Martin Dysart : You didn't actually instruct him yourself?

  Frank Strang : Not in so many words. No.

  Martin Dysart : Did you Mrs. Strang?

  Dora Strang : Well, I spoke a little. Yes. I had to.

  Martin Dysart : What sort of things did you tell him? I'm sorry if this is embarrassing.

  Dora Strang : I told him the biological facts. But, I also told him what I believed. That sex is not just a biological matter; but, a spiritual one as well. If God willed, he would fall in love one day. Sugar? That his task was to prepare himself for the most important happening of his life. And after that, if he was lucky, he would come to know a higher love still.

• Frank Strang : Don't you be la-de-da with me, young man!
