• Shop Superintendent : He's a brilliant man, Mr. Ballard... and a sad one.

  Adam Ballard : Sad?

  Shop Superintendent : I like him. I like him for the kind of man he is. Inside, Mr. Ballard, a troubled man, troubled by what he is doing, but when I asked him to explain what he's about to... he could not tell me.

  Adam Ballard : Could not?

  Shop Superintendent : Could not. It was as though... as though...

  Adam Ballard : As though what?

  Shop Superintendent : As though the DEVIL HAD HIM UNDER HIS THUMB! And he had no chance to get out of... to be his own man.
