From The Doctor's Dilemma by Bernard Shaw

male · philosophical · 46 sec

Come come, Paddy! none of your claptrap with me: I'm too sceptical for it. I'm not at all convinced that the world wouldnt be a better world if everybody behaved as Dubedat does than it is now that everybody behaves as Blenkinsop does. (SIR PATRICK: Then why dont you behave as Dubedat does?) Ah, that beats me. Thats the experimental test. Still, it's a dilemma. It's a dilemma. You see theres a complication we havnt mentioned. (SIR PATRICK: Whats that?) Well, if I let Blenkinsop die, at least nobody can say I did it because I wanted to marry his widow.
