Mary Jones: Just forget all about it. Merrick: I'm an elephant, Miss Jones, a veritable elephant. I never forget a good deed done me or an ill one. I consider myself a kind of divine justice. Other people in this world have to forget things. I do not. Mary Jones: Now, don't talk like you're out of your mind and don't be blasphemous about 'divine justice'.

Merrick: Now, look around us. There's a couple over there. They think they were made for each other. He's biting her ear. Now, she's biting his ear. Very touching. Mary Jones: I think so. Merrick: They've found each other, haven't they? Out of this whole wide world, these two were lucky enough to come together. But, don't you think, if she hadn't met him, there wouldn't be somebody else biting her ear now? And don't you think he would be at some other girl's ear - probably 10 feet away? Mary Jones: Maybe. But that doesn't prove anything.
