Dennis Potter/The Singing Detective (1986)

Michael Gambon

Doctor: I know it's an embarrassing question, even between husbands and wives, but what do you believe in?

Philip E. Marlow: Malthusianism.

Doctor: Come again? 


Philip E. Marlow: Malthus, but mandatory. Compulsory depopulation by infanticide, suicide, genocide or whatever other means suggest themselves. AIDS, for example, that'll do. Why should queers be so special?

Doctor: I see. 


Philip E. Marlow: I also believe in cigarettes, cholesterol, alcohol, carbon monoxide, masturbation, the Arts Council, nuclear weapons, the Daily Telegraph, and not properly labeling fatal poisons, but above all else, most of all, I believe in the one thing that can come out of people's mouths: vomit.
