Mr. Pip Quote

Dolores Naimo: My daughter, my lovely Matilda, says she doesn't believe in the Devil. She believes in Pip!
Mr. Watts: Well, Mrs. Naimo, what if I were to say to you that on the page, Pip and the Devil have the same status? Each one strikes out on their own, each one has the chance to make their own mistakes...
Dolores Naimo: And to abandon his family? How will Pip even know if he's made a mistake? If there is no God and no Devil, how will he know what's right from wrong? [addressing kids in schoolroom]
Dolores Naimo: Mr Watts here thinks he can know all things, but for the rest of us people - and that includes you, my beautiful flower, Matilda - pack the teaching of the Good Book into your person. That way, you kids will be able to save Pop-Eye here, because I'm not going to.
Mr. Watts: Thank you, Mrs. Naimo, for such an illuminating lesson on the relationship between good and evil. Once again, you've given us much food for thought.
