Quote context

[...]

- Very likely, you've seen my photograph in the papers. That's why my face seems familiar to you.

- I don't think so. And even if it were, is that any reason why I should keep on dreaming about you? After all, you don't mean anything to me.

- There may be an association of ideas. I may be linked to something that means a great deal to you.

- Such as?

- I should have to psychoanalyse you to find that out.

- But it doesn't end there. You see, everybody in this room is part of my dream. Everybody.

- Gosh!

- Good Lord, really?

- Very extraordinary.

- You're kidding!

- What, all of us?

- I can only tell you that when I came into this room, I recognised you all.

- Having seen all our photographs in the newspapers, I take it, Dr. Van Straaten?

- Of course, you may have seen me on the sports page. Motor racing's my line.

- And there was one of me once, in the Kentish Mercury. When I was a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding. You remember? Oh, but I shouldn't think you've come across that.

- Well, I've never had my photograph taken.

- Oh, yes, you did dear once. You know the one. Naked on a white fur rug, six months old.

- Good Lord, that's right. I don't think he'd recognise me, I was much fatter.

- Surely, Mr. Craig, you might've seen any of us some time or another. In the street or anywhere.

- Yes, but why should I always dream about meeting you all together, here in this room that I've never been in, in my life, until today?
