The Bad Seed1956

Christine Penmark:
Do you really mean to say that nice family surroundings and advantages could make no difference at all?

Reginald 'Reggie' Tasker:
Yes. It's as if these children were born blind permanently and you just couldn't expect to teach them to see.

Christine Penmark:
Well, would you notice any brutish expressions on their faces?

Reginald 'Reggie' Tasker:
Sometimes. But more often they present a more convincing picture of virtue than normal folk.

Christine Penmark:
But that's horrible!

Reginald 'Reggie' Tasker:
It's just that they are bad seeds. Plain bad from the beginning. And nothing can change them.
