He could leave at any time. If his was more than just a vague ambition, if he was absolutely determined to discover the truth, there's no way we could prevent him.

Quote context

[...]

- You think because you batted your eyes at Truman once, flirted with him, stole a few minutes of airtime with him to thrust yourself and your politics into the limelight, that you know him? That you know what's right for him?

- You really think you're in a position to judge him?

- What right do you have to take a baby, and turn his life into some kind of mockery? Don't you ever feel guilty?

- I have given Truman a chance to lead a normal life. The world, the place you live in, is the sick place. Seahaven is the way the world should be.

- He's not a performer. He's a prisoner. Look at him. Look at what you've done to him!

- He could leave at any time. If his was more than just a vague ambition, if he was absolutely determined to discover the truth, there's no way we could prevent him.

- I think what distresses you, really, caller, is that ultimately Truman prefers his cell, as you call it.

- That's where you're wrong. You're so wrong, and he'll prove you wrong.

- Well, aside from the heated comments of a very vocal minority, it's been an overwhelmingly positive experience.

- Yes. For Truman and for the viewing public.

- Well, Christof, I can't thank you enough, for giving so generously of your time tonight.
