• (Al Pacino) "It's emotionalism. You know, when heart transplants first started -- there was the same prevalent feeling, I mean, even among doctors -- that it was wrong, it was contrary to God's will, contrary to nature. Isn't it ghoulish to rip a person's chest open and take out a heart? Or a bypass operation? Ether is the same thing. You have ether, been around for centuries, it wasn't used. Not till 1846. It was discovered in 1543 -- and before that, everybody was being operated on while they were awake. Surgeons were cutting them open while they were awake. Did you know that, Geoff?"
• (Danny Huston) "No."
• (Al Pacino) "On, yes. And you know why it was banned? Because of religious dogma. Because of the foolish notion -- that there's a God Almighty who wills us to suffer."
